Nadal vs Zverev in the 1st round.

WTF? Nadal paying $4 to beat Zverev. At Roland Garros... Jesus.

 

[Hamingja]

With Djokovic, Alcaraz and Sinner all coming in injured, Zverev really should go close to winning the whole thing.

 

[Hamingja]

Also what a moron Ruud is playing a 250 the week before a slam that he could potentially Bradbury if the others aren't actually fit enough.

He's nearly 40 and got recently pantsed by the most vanilla player of all time, Alex De Minaur.

 

[YeoShuey]

With Djokovic, Alcaraz and Sinner all coming in injured, Zverev really should go close to winning the whole thing.

Rune seems to QF this tournament quite a bit. Probably his best chance of making it further.

 

[danstar]

Nadal v Zverev hopefully goes 5 sets and 5 hours and wipes out Zverev , hope he never wins a slam

I really havent been able to follow much tennis this year so far.

Sinner is a real chance to be the world number 1 by the end of this fortnight.

personally looking forward to Schmieds vs Errani. Will be a serve fest

 

[danstar]

ive seen 0 tennis since the Australian Summer but just looking at the scores, Novak is cooked, will be great seeing a 1st time slam winner this year, could throw a blanket over about 10 different players and any one of them could win it

Is there a streaming subscription available where you can watch any court? Particularly useful in the first week.

On Redmi Note 8 Pro using BigFooty.com mobile app

Sinner is a real chance to be the world number 1 by the end of this fortnight.

Looking at the current points after Geneva and it's very realistic

Djokovic is top on 9960 and defending Champions points (2000)
Sinner is on 8770 and defending 2nd Round points (45)

If both make the Final then Sinner would become World No.1 regardless of the outcome, given the Men's Singles Runner-up now gets 1300 points

If Djokovic is runner-up and Sinner goes out in the Semis then Sinner is No.1, given Semis for the Men's Singles are now worth 800 points instead of 720

If Djokovic goes out in the Quarters or earlier then Sinner will be guaranteed No.1 even if he goes out early

Of course this is Djokovic, so even with his drop in form he'll probably sprout wings and win another Major

Didn't they change the rules at some point that you don't get paid if you play a few games then retire?

yeah, best effort or something like that.

She retired in Rome a couple of weeks ago...

Good thing they stuck a roof on Lenglen

Good thing they stuck a roof on Lenglen

I don't know how they did it but they managed to keep the atmosphere and feel of Langlen with it.

 

[danstar]

Only got the 9gem coverage this year , this is total ass that they are showing nothing but Aussies . The Dasha match is a total snoozefest, theres been about 10 breaks of serves in a row

 

[matt_897]

I'm watching Purcell, I'm wondering the way he's playing if I should of got a spot in the main draw this year

I ended up signing up to stan because 9gem's coverage was average

 

[danstar]

Wish i had money to sign up for streaming services. Also the weather looks very average for the entire 1st week, hopefully we dont get a full day behind in the schedule

 

[JamisonRun40]

Now the covers are on and play has been suspended. I was hoping to be able to afford a tennis streaming service but not going to happen. Tomanjovic played ok it went three sets, she has been out with injuries so it will take her some time to get match fit. Hopefully by Wimbledon she will be playing better.

I was watching the Purcell match via one of my betting accounts. Costs nothing.

But now it's raining sigh
