Grand Slam French Open 2020

[Munich]

It's extra slow this year because of the conditions

Gee is it?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Gee is it?

Raine around so the balls are heavier. If anything I really wish there was a change of balls every 5 games not 7 in these conditions.

They'll never change that.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

They'll never change that.

Agree they won’t. I seems the last two games in heavy conditions are just so hard to serve

 

[BobbyMorri]

Yeah, I made the right choice. This is a terrible surface for Alex but the more concerning thing there is the 6-0 3rd set. That shouldn't be happening if he's a fighter.

And I don't rate Thompson but to only take 6 games off Albot is laughable.

Was hoping for some Murray magic too, damn...

listened to the tennis podcast. They said Alex felt really down after the match. Like he expected to do better and play better after the US

Lost 8 straight games after a 15 min game at 4-all in the 2nd set. Not good.

Good win by Dasha over Yastremnska. her and Sharma are both in the 2nd round.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yastremska on clay is a comical joke lol

 

[Alesana]

Yastremska on clay is a comical joke lol

She won Strasbourg last year

 

[LukeParkerno1]

She won Strasbourg last year

Not sure how! She’s flipping awful on clay moves like an absolute slug. Brainless ball bashing.

 

[BobbyMorri]

i think Dasha is one to look out for the next year. Seems like she has found love in her tennis game again. She was really lost for a year and a bit before her break.

I think Yas is a huge worry. She has a game but I am not sure about her maturity. I would be selling my shares

Dasha doesn't have the game. Sorry to be absolutely blunt but it's true. Her ceiling is a top 20-30 position and that is if everything goes right. Serve is pedestrian and she doesn't have a winning shot. She's relatively solid for sure but that is it.

She is fast but yeah, you can call her limited. but that is still much better than her current ranking or what her ranking was going towards.

Think she reached a ranking of mid 20's before all these injuries an what not. I don't see her getting much better than that. Every player in the top 10 has a shot or two that are what I call "winning shots", whether it be Azareka's backhand or whatever. All I see with Dasha is a solid 6/10 across the board and that's if her serve isn't a mess which it can be. It is why as tenacious as he is and as much as we love that, what is Di Mainuar's shot? Fighting for every point isn't a shot it's a personality trait. It is why personally Kryigos as unlikely as it is...is still more likely to win a Slam going forward than Di Minuar.

Yaz hasn't really got a coach as she let Sash go. De Minaur wasn't go to beat Cecchinetto he is a good and played well last year on clay. Watch a few matches last night as Perth had a public holiday today. Finished watching Garcia v Kontaveit which was a pretty decent match. Watched a couple of matches today as public holdiay in Perth. So happy that I am able to watch tennis again.

What’s people’s thoughts on Thiem v Cilic and Agut v Gasquet? I’m thinking both Thiem and Agut will win in straight.

It will be interesting to see how Nadal performs, he does not like change and not a fan of the weather and conditions

Thiem easily doubt this is close

Vasquez might take a set but that’s it

think Thiem will start slow but win in 3 sets.

Agut.

Is it raining or something? Ffs doesn't even say it is on radar

Sascha just left her as coach, no?

He seems to be ripping through these WTA lassies.

Cilic playing better than I had hoped. Domi needs a few easy rounds.
