Li def. Gasparyan 6-0 6-1

Nadal just def. Popyrin 6-3 6-2 7-6(3)

Nadal's draw just opened up with Rublev's defeat. Nadal must have breathed a sigh of relief over that upset.

Berrettini (aka BIg Sexy) def. Daniel in 4 sets

Rublev wasnt a threat to Nadal on clay. I know its clay but Venus struggled. If she doesnt get past the second round at a tournament the rest of this year is she really gonna hold on longer. She has businesses right? Why not enjoy retirement? At least Serena is still competitive.

Rublev beat Nadal in Monte Carlo this year. Nadal is definitely glad he's out of the way.

Krunic is no pushover

R4 No, Nadal couldn't care less about Rublev.

Rublev needed three sets to defeat Nadal on MonteCarlo when he was clearly the better player that day. On a normal day he could be trouble for Nadal on hard courts but not on Paris.

Rublev could give a fight but that's all, and he needed to be in good form which is not the case right now.

If he lost to Struff he had zero chances against Rafa. Even more, he was maybe able to defeat Bagnis and the winner of Basilashvilli/Alcaraz but i doubt he could defeat Karatsev.

Rublev is a hard working player but he has zero variety, with his big forehand he could overcome that but he needs to get rid of his nerves because he has a tendency to tank at the worst moments

Thought that Rafa’s ensemble needed a shoutout...

LOVED the neon green and navy combo. The white tennis shoes worked perfectly for me too.

I disagree, R7, mainly from the perspective that Nadal does not like to have tough draws because of their cumulative effect (e.g., 2018 US Open). If he had to play Sinner, Rublev, Djokovic then Tsitsipas, he may be gassed like he was at the 2018 USO and lose in the semis. And Rublev could have potentially given him a tough match because he is capable of playing well for stretches. No way Nadal isn't happy to see him gone.

Gauff did great to get out of that match. But we need to talk about that dress...

R9 It would be a 1/4 match. You can't avoid a decent rival in that round. In fact Rafa will probably face Sinner in the third one and the italian unlike others always give him some fight.

And i repeat, Rublev is not rival for Rafa right now. His high risk game is simply impossible to keep for five sets and Rublev is far from the form he was in Monte Carlo.

Some people keep thinking Rafa wins Roland Garros because the cake draws and that's very far from true.

To be honest, i think Karatsev who is way more fearless than Rublev is more a danger to Rafa than Andrey

I hate to say this as a huge fan of FAA, but it looks like unless he picks up speed quickly this year, he's destined to become another Gasquet or Monfils. Early promise that levels off to a decent top 10 career but not in the top GOAT/#1 tier.

[quote] Gasquet or Monfils

#g.a.m.s.life

Novak vs. Deplorable Sandgren!

[quote] but not in the top GOAT/#1 tier.

No one is in my tier. No one!

Nole team or Sandgren team?

Sudden Sinkhole team

And Nole starts the match breaking Sandgren's serve.

Atp is becoming more and more boring and predictable and that's a big problem when the big guys are way nearer of getting 40 than 20.

Zverev and Tsitsipas are not the nicer guys out there but for the sake of tennis i hope one of them reach the final and at least give a fight

Tsitsipas is a saint compared to Zverev, but then that's true for 98% of the other ATP players.

Has ESG returned?

CSN was 2 points away from win on her own serve against Sloth

But sloth is back

[quote]Has ESG returned?

ESL ?

Vamos Carlo!

Now Zverev has a deal with Rolex, it seems all his exes drama was not that bad publicity after all

R14 Djokovic is the Serbian equivalent of a deplorable with his many of his views so it's really a double deplorable match

I'm all for R17 idea

R23, he’s willing to go to press conferences. Now we know that’s the key thing.

R24 I don't think so. Novak has a croat coach and he even received a lot of criticism for that.

And there's no prove he is a racist and an homophobe like Sandgren

Yes, ESL not ESG.

potentially good matches tomorrow (at least on paper)

Khachanov vs. Nishikori

Medvedev vs. Paul

Bencic vs. Kasatkina who I'm surprised hasn't gotten back to being a seed yet given her 2 titles this year but I know the rankings are still covid screwy

Azarenka vs. Tauson

Fognini vs. Fucsovics

Garin vs. McDonald

Isner vs. Krajinovic

Badosa vs. Kovinic

Keys vs. Fernandez

Opelka vs. Munar

Collins vs. Kalinina

Pella vs. Giron

R26, Ivanisevic is a more blatant homophobe than Sandgren, so no pass there for Novaxx.

R26 but h's anti-covid protocols, anti-Kosovo independence

I think Alexander Zverev would look better with a shorter hair cut.

He has zero problems with all requirements of the job!

R30 Most european contries doesn't recognize Kosovo

I dig Nadal's outfit too.

Nadal is quite innovative with his outfits and he likes them colourful

There's no doubt that Zverev meets the clocking requirement, R31.

Surprised that Rolex would go with Euro-trash Zverev

But Rolex isn't worn by "classy" people. Classy people prefer PP over Rolex.

Gold chains and Rolex--he, Shapo and Moutet should see who can come up with the worst wannabe rap ever.

Well they sponsor Roger. He and Zverev are night and day.

I'm sure it's a very lucrative deal, congrats to him.

Maybe they are targeting a younger, trashier market LOL

His ex is happy , for sure. millions of euros for nothing. She is set for life

[quote] he, Shapo and Moutet should see who can come up with the worst wannabe rap ever.

But I IZ rapper!

Well, R41, one of his exes still has to raise a kid, regardless of what happens. The one who got choked? I assume she might get some sort of settlement, at least I’d hope so.

R43 the first one got choked, the second he has a baby with.And raising a kid you dont need milions of cash. Many women get something like 500 euro.

Poor Granny Vee. Not a good way to bow out of Garros, losing 6/3 6/1 to some unknown Ova in the first round. She needs to pull herself together and focus on winning Wimbledon and the USA Open.

It will be cool if she can celebrate the 20th anniversary of 9/11 by winning the USA Open, just like she did in 2001. Maybe in another sister final beating Great Auntie Ree.

R45, she should retire.

I hope Venus finishes the season. I love watching her play, but at this point it’s getting depressing l.

Alcaraz bulging and looking HAF

Fucking hot, R48, thanks for the post. Big, hairy, and uncut, I bet.

And he's only just turned 18. It may yet get even bigger over the next year or two. VAMOOOOOOS!!!!!

JFC he makes Rafa look scrawny.

Rolex and Zverev is truly surprising. What were they thinking? His looks (white trash, chav....) are not what the Rolex brand is about (and I am being kind). And then, there is that other issue.....

Zverev is the ATP version of Sharapova. Very hyped from a young age and has shown some great results here and there. If/when he does win a slam, he'll get loads of endorsements. They hype his looks like they did with Sharapova too. In both cases I'd say the looks and talent are overrated. The personalities are quite unlikable and of course Zverev has those allegations of abuse and the child with a gf. Both breakups were messy. I doubt he'll turn into a good guy overnight

Chrissie was on Cuomo Prime Time tonight!

Right. A tennis player should have more "protection" at a press conference than an elected official. Let's just call it the Snowflake Tennis Association and be done with it.

Agree with Chrissie. These players are hardly elected officials and their job is not to make media fodder. There should be a moderator there to tell the tabloid rags and the other antagonists to GTFO.

Love this answer from Granny V:

On Tuesday, when asked how she handled media attention and duties during her career, Venus Williams said each person is different.

"For me, personally, how I deal with it was that I know every single person asking me a question can't play as well as I can and never will, so no matter what you say or what you write, you'll never light a candle to me," Williams said. "So that's how I deal with it. But each person deals with it differently."

Granny Vee would fit in well on Datalounge.

Granny V's statement might not be so true these days, looking at her results.

Granny V's statement makes no sense. The reporters' job is to write and report, not to play tennis. Her being a better tennis player than they are is irrelevant. It's like saying she can't criticize their reporting because they are better journalists than she would be.

I am enjoying looking at Zverev's pits this morning!

Zverev also shows off his belly before every first serve. Wish he'd lose the douchebro facial hair- and the attitudes, of course, but the former is probably easier.

R62 - I noticed that. He is not a nice character but I can perv!!!!! Just noticed he has shaved his pits since Monday - not as much fun to watch lol

He is a bisexual

He’s a drongo, r64.

R53 Sorry but no. First Sharapova is way prettier than Sascha, and second she won Wimbledon at 17, the wta championships (the same year) and the US Open at 19

R60 Yes, but some reporters seem to think they know way more about tennis than players and the players generally don't react well to condescendent questions, specially because they usually are opportunistic and made ater an defeat

Uncle Toni is not a fan of Naomi's stunt.

He said the way she acted was more like to challenge Roland Garros and asking for an special treatment

R68, I totally agree, not responding to them is really ridiculous. It's unprofessional and just shows there was no plan to work with anyone, she was gonna act a certain way and it's her way or the high way.

someone on the other thread brought up Cincinnati Open where she refused to play or something?

I wish the world saw through this stunt of hers. yes, mental health is important but that is not the reason she pulled out. just look at what her own sister said.

fake bitch. she will never be better than Serena!

If she's too mentally fragile to answer a few questions, then she's too mentally fragile to compete. She needs to take time off, get help, and reset herself.

It made me laugh when some reporter defended her and wrote that Osaka is a tennis player and not a media personality. If she wants to use that excuse how about getting off her SJW high horse, shutting up and playing tennis? When she wants to speak out about social issues or BLM she doesn't want to be "just a tennis player". Fair enough. But when she pulls this diva stunt suddenly she's "just a tennis player"?

The fact that both the WTA and the FFT stated that she didn't seek any help or reach out to anyone or even respond to their messages makes it clear that this was just her throwing her weight around and expecting special treatment. When they called her bluff she was forced to withdraw to save face. She's full of shit.

In the meantime, Cames Jourier is waxing poetic about Fucsovics body. Has he dumped Young Grigor???

R72, "young" Gaygor just turned 30, which is 50 in gay years. Of course Daddy Cames Jourier has dumped him for younger, fresher meat.

He’s only human r72. Everyone should be legally required to mention Fucsovics’ body...

Fuc team or For team?

Fabio Fognini and his casual strut are meant to be seen in the nude

I can’t stand the way Fog walks. That strut with his stomach out front.

Lol. Posting at the same time.

R77, that’s the patented Mussolini rooster strut.

Is Fognini liked here? New to the Tennis threads.

[quote] Different strokes

Quite.

Fog is wearing one of the most hideous tennis outfits I've ever seen.

I don’t think there are many Fognini fans here r80. Depends on who he’s playing though...

Damn, this is the first time I’m seeing Pedro Martinez. He’s much younger than I like my men but he is stunning. He will grow into being one hot man. His eyes are incredible.

Murray and partner Bruno Soares are in the second round of Roland Garros after beating Brits Dom Inglot and Luke Bambridge.

The 35 year-old Scot admitted that recent form struggles had made the restrictions feel worse, and that he is so fed up with the bubble existence he may well not travel to the Olympics.

'It's been going on so long now and it's just frustrating,' he said. 'You can't get away from the tennis because you play your match, go back to the hotel and sit there and stare at the walls and think about the match because there's nothing else to do.

'You can't go for dinner with your friends. You can't fly home normally because it's just difficult to fly. It's not been that much fun recently but it's obviously harder if you lose and you're not winning, which I haven't been doing. I think a lot of players are probably ready for a change of scenery.'

He is not alone among tennis players in believing the Olympics is more trouble than it is worth.

'I'm normally home now for five, six weeks but I have got to stay in a bubble again. And then I go to the Olympics for two weeks in a bubble, probably have no fans, and then I go straight to the States for six weeks of tournaments. Am I ever going to be at home? Let's see what happens but I wouldn't say the highest priority for me right now.'

He does not feel the doubles players, who have seen their prize money shrink by 23%, are getting their fair share this fortnight.

'I don't think it's right at all. I think it's really s****y, to be honest. It's the first time I think that the Grand Slams have gone away from the distribution of prize money, which sets a dangerous precedent for the doubles game.

'We're already coming to these tournaments and the (prize money) ratio is like 88-12, 89-11, 90-10. What more can we give up? Now I'm playing this tournament and I've got to win five matches to get to a Grand Slam final playing against the best players in the world, in order to make the same as a guy who comes and loses first round of the singles.

'I'll never think that's right. I think the French Tennis Federation need to know that that's not right.'

Ikr r82? At UTS they said his favorite color is pink. No excuse for that pattern though. Also, those long shorts elongate his already long torso.

Ugh, shut up Murray. The scientists and experts have the data, they're better able to judge what's best. We may not have enough people vaccinated and out of the danger zone or there may be some new variant, I don't know. I prefer to leave it to them rather than listen to a young and physically fit tennis player who has no worry about covid.

I don't know what they're doing at wimbledon but in the US, they are selling tix with fully vax sections with no social distancing and unvax sections. for indoor and outdoor venues.

Does anyone give a shit what Jamie Murray thinks?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

WTF, why should her ranking be frozen? I got a knife in my back and I still didn't have my number one ranking frozen. She pulls out because she doesn't want to answer some questions from the press and they are willing to freeze her ranking??

Sorry, but when a player is injured the ranking changes anyway.

One think is froze the ranking in Seles case and other very different doing it here when nothing is stopping her from playing

I guess she got what she wanted! the conniving bitch doesn't have to play on clay and grass and gets to keep her ranking!

the world is so dumb to buy into her BS.

Wow. This has really escalated.

She doesn't like grass either. She only likes hard courts.

did they vaccinate all the employees at roland garros?

Jamie is becoming as big a twat as his mother, one of the tennis world’s biggest twats.

Umm like umm I'm withdrawing from the like um French Open

Has Judy done "it" with Jamie too or does she give her [italic] special attention and affection [/italic] to Misery only? Poor Betty Chang used to get picked on for running her hands down Michael's pants to check his underwear but no peep about Judy and Misery's "special" bond.

[quote] Has Judy done "it" with Jamie too or does she give her special attention and affection to Misery only?

Hand jobs only for Jamie. Strap on with reach around for Misery.

So women playing week in week out are morons according to WTA

WRA is becoming more insane each day

Is Katrina Adams is leading WTA these days

What are Katrina Adams’ current positions?

Let's be serious the chances Osaka of getting in the second week were very small. I don't think she has much chance against Badosa the way both are playing right now.

I have serious doubts she will try such threat on a hard court GS

Katrina adams never worked for the WTA, as far as I know. She was with the USTA.

Serena lost the second set but she is winning the match. She has a nice draw but i don't think she is fit enough to get into the final.

Sabalenka is having way more trouble than expected with Sasnovich

Serena is having to work way too hard against players she should steamroll. This was was ranked #143 and it was a battle.

Katrina Adams was useless. When she was with the USTA she was just their affirmative action hire.

Serna was huffing and puffing out there. Her next match with DL fave Danielle Collins should be a good one.

Karen Khachanov has a beautiful skin color.

Danielle Collins America’s Sweetheart

[quote] but some reporters seem to think they know way more about tennis than players and the players generally don't react well to condescendent questions, specially because they usually are opportunistic and made ater an defeat

But some reporters seem to think they know more about making movies than directors, actors, scriptwriters, producers and those people generally don't react well to "condescendent" questions, specially because they are opportunistic and made after [poor reviews]

Welcome to reality and the real world.

R113 A player only needs to take Maria Sharapova attitude, if the question is ridiculous, next question and that's all.

Of course Maria knows how to be a bitch and throw shade lika a pro, i can't see Naomi doing that, but i don't remember a tough question directed to Naomi (because being bad on clay is not a tough question is a reality and she can only blame herself because she is not even trying to improve)

And as expecting Medvedev is strugglng against Paul.

I fear Tsitsipas having a bad day and losing against Isner because that part of the draw is already a mess

Results today:

Garin def. McDonald 4-6 4-6 7-6(7) 6-3 8-6 this was a match in which both had opportunities. I feel for McDonald who seems to be a good guy but it's surprising he gave Garin such a fight

PCB def. French WC in 4

Giron def. Pella in 4

Opelka def. Munar in 4

Tsitsipas def. Martinez in straights

Nishikori upsets Khachanov 4-6 6-2 2-6 6-4 6-4

Davidovich Fokina def. Dutch Q 6-4 6-4 5-7 2-6 6-4

Isner def. Krajinovic in 3

Fognini def. Fucsovics in straights

Q Laaksonen upsets RBA 6-3 2-6 6-3 6-2 real shocker there

Djere def. countryman Kecmanovic 4-6 4-6 6-3 6-2 6-3

Rybakina def. Hibino beatdown

Sabalenka def. countrywoman Sasonovich in 2 tough sets

Serena def. Buzarnescu in 3

Pavlyuchenkova def. Tomljanovic beatdown

Keys def. Fernandez in 2 thought it might be tougher based on form

Azarenka def. Tauson in 2 tough

Collins def. Kalinina beatdown

Badosa def. Kovinic beatdown

Hercog def. Garcia 2 tough sets

Siniakova upsets Kudermetova 7-6(7) 5-7 7-5 real surprise there. Kudermetova was dark horse for the tournament

Cirstea def. Trevisan in 3

Vondrousova def. Tan beatdown

Kasatkina upsets Bencic beatdown

Zidansek def. Brengle in 2

Bogdan def. Osaka walkkover

Garin v Giron is going to be the match of the quads

R117 the best quads on tour

Venus and Gauff were playing doubles together but they lost first round to Perez/Zheng 7-6(5) 4-6 3-6

It’s doubles match.

I feel bad for Tommy Paul but Med started to play like he wanted it. Kei-Karen was a really fun match. Kei is so great to watch when he's on, he plays such clean, precise tennis. It's a shame he's always injured.

Cori is a decent doubles play and have okay results with Catherine Mcsally.However she lost today early because Venus was such a drag on the court.

Cori should stick with Catherine

Wang-Gauff match tomorrow.

somehow Johnson is in the third round. He def. Monteiro in 5. Really nutty result.

R123. Can they both lose?

Pavic/Mektic number 1 doubles team OUT for both being COVID positive.

Oh, no, R126! That stinks. They have been killing it all season and are both hot (which helps). They have to be super disappointed.

[quote] Can they both lose?

They can both lose cum!

[quote] Pavic/Mektic number 1 doubles team OUT for both being COVID positive.

It’s doubles match.

Damn. They’re my favorite team. That sucks.

I'm all for beating Wang and getting Gauff.

Do we know where Young Grigor is staying?

Mr Courier at R132, he's isolating with an older French gentleman. He is not Covid +ve, so we have no idea why he would need to isolate with that person. We are just puzzled. It's intriguing but not as compelling as the WTA.

[quote] +ve

Ben and Courtney, is the superfluous "ve" after the positive sign a reference to Venus William (aka "Granny Vee") who is one of the most compelling women currently on the Virginia Slims tour?

Yes, R134. Some smartass suggested that the tour will be renamed now because Ve has become quite chunky and Virginia Slims have sent the WTA a warning. Either Vee loses the weight or the tour will be marketed as the Virginia XL Tour for Big Women.

[quote] the tour will be marketed as the Virginia XL Tour for Big Women.

In the classic lyrics of the Jackson Five, “I’ll be there.”

Taylor Townhouse, are you playing with yourself? No, not like that. I meant in doubles. You can cover the deuce and ad courts at the same time and be an unbeatable doubles team all on your own.

R122 Catherine lost in the qualies so maybe she decided to play an individual event instead of doubles here, who knows.

They are an odd couple anyway, because Cori seems your kind of new player activist while Catherine seems the typical white conservative american tennis player

Barty retired which opens the draw for Gauff and Svitolina and makes Swiatek the big favourite of that part of the draw

Looks like the stars are aligning for Serena to get #24 with only a bunch of pushovers left in the draw.

I don't see it. She's gonna sprain a knee or break an ankle from all that extra booty she's hauling around the court.

R140 She has a lot of dangerous players in her part of the drawand in i still think Swiatek is the most dangerous player on the draw.

But Serena on a good serve day is very dangerous to anyone

swiatek is not in her draw i think

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Happy Birthday Nadal!

Berrettini won easily.

Stephens defeated Pliskova

I’m going with Iga. Before Ash retired, I was saying that this could be the year for Serena and now that really might happen.

But I think Iga has it.

Musetti won in three sets.

Sinner won the first two but he lost the third.

Karatsev is on the verge of elimination

The Pliskbot malfunctioned and somehow Sloane Stephens is in the third round.

iga has even easier draw than last year, it is ridicolous

And Karatsev is eliminated.

Nadal's super tough draw is going to become a cake walk if Sinner lose

Not surprised to see the fate of Boretly

Behave like joureywomen women get results like a journeywoman

Same with Rublev. Aslan, Domi Bianca .Garbine and Help

Dick nosed Swiatek has pathetic draw: linette, gauff, svitolina lol

I am watching Jessica Pegula's post match interview. No mental issues.

How is she possibly withstanding the literal violence being inflicted on her by having to answer banal questions for 15 minutes?

HOW VERY DARE YOU not speak of Gauff as THE favorite in this tournament!

Wang-Gauff on now!

Wank team or G. Off team?

Gauff won a clay tournament this season; she might not be a pushover.

watching Djokovic now.

[quote]watching Djokovic now

Thanks for letting us know

Taylor Fritz left the court in a wheelchair after his match against Koepfer

yes, I heard them talk about it R160 poor guy. I hope it's not as serious as it looks and just a precaution.

I was hoping Tay had a cramp when he limped off to his bench - but he was clutching his knee in that wheelchair.

Will they freeze Barty's ranking until she's able to play again?

Um, like, that's only for me, uh, because like, yeah

R151, I agree Nadal at first had a tough draw. But upthread there was some poster arguing with me when I wrote Nadal was happy to see Rublev gone. Although I don't disagree that Nadal likely beats Rublev on RG's courts, Rublev had a win in Monte Carlo. I wrote the cumulative effect of a tough draw--Sinner-Rublev-Djokovic-Tsitsipas possibly in the final--could potentially wear down Nadal. He claimed Nadal playing Rublev would only be like playing 1/4 of a match.

I told a couple people I know who do some work for the ATP and WTA about this poster's statements and they laughed. No way, they said, is Nadal not happy to see Rublev gone. They said if Sinner goes, Nadal will dance a jig of glee. At Nadal's age (and same for Fed and Djokovic), how tough the draw is at a best-of-five Slam can really affect a player's chances of winning. Of course that's true of players of any age, but it's particularly true of older players. With both Rublev and Karatsev out, Nadal's potential quarterfinal should be pretty easy.

I see a Nadal-Djokovic semi. Not sure who'd win that, but it's major advantage Nadal since Djokovic I think doesn't really believe he can take down Nadal at RG, even though he's done it before.

LOL Roger getting called for a time violation

Nadal plays at 3pm on Tennis Channel.

Federer shits the bed in the second set making several errors to get broken to lose it. We'll see if he can turn it around.

Who is 3 rd round opponent of Lorenzo Mussy?

cecchinatto or de minaur

McNally didn’t play with Gauff after injuring herself during qualifying.

[quote] cecchinatto or de minaur

That’s a close one for me. The Hitler mustache is the dealbreaker, so Cecchinatto team.

It was good to see Roger getting time violation warning.

Arrogant Mirka must be eating humble pie at her home after watch that argument on TV

I was on Minotaur team. :(

agan iga does nothing and gets breaks, a lot of UE ....wta is deep shit now

Master Sifo Diyas lost to Mertens.

DL hottie Struff is up two sets.

hotty Alcaraz is whupping Basilashvili

Stephens is really 1 of the most "matchup" players on tour. She struggles against the likes of Putintseva and Fernandez repeatedly but owns Kerber, Pliskova and Venus.

And Alcaraz won in three

Stupid Zverev looks like in a complete joke in those sleeveless get-ups, especially compared to Carlos Alcaraz. Fucsovics is the other one who should be wearing them.

Alcaraz just won. He is the stuff of Mediterranean fantasies.

Gramps Fed is such a prissy, arrogant bitch. Mirka probably walks on eggshells around him.

Mmmm, Zverev is HOT

Alcaraz just won. He is the Struff of Mediterranean fantasies.

I don't think Norrie will beat Nadal but he could give him trouble. He has a scrappy, unorthodox style of play and doesn't mind long points

I'll take one of each, except for Papa Nadal.

You would pass on Rafa, but take ISNER?

ISNER???

Dimitrov has really aged horribly. His skin has gone to hell. Compare him to the older Lopez who clearly takes care of himself and is well preserved.

Isner, Zverev, Nadal and Dimitrov do nothing for me

R188 Yes.

I was thinking the same R189. I remember first seeing young Grigor in Rome and he was so beautiful that it took my breath away and I couldn't change the channel not because the match was interesting (it wasn't) but because I couldn't keep my eyes off him. And now I see him and all I can think is that it was a fleeting moment of grace but it's gone. I'm ready to jump on the Alcaraz train but not before he gets four months of RoAccutane.

R192, you’re ready to fly right out of here aren't you?

So Pavic/Mektic getting ousted made way for Andujar and Martinez. Yum!

I would have to be shitfaced before I tried to big John. Ugh.

I would PAY just to bite Rafa’s ass.

Wawrinka out of grass season

[quote] Andy Murray has pulled out

That’s an unusual position for him. I usually do the pulling out.

how do you sustain a groin injury while sleeping?

15 years ago Nadal vs. Gasquet would have been a very hyped up and possibly close contest

Given their career arcs Gasquet will have to fight like hell not get routed

[quote] how do you sustain a groin injury while sleeping?

I typically have a very subtle hand, but sometimes get a bit rough.

[quote]you’re ready to fly right out of here aren't you?

Well excuse me for living, Anita Bryant!

R184, er ist ein hasslicher Assi.

Gerulaitis once said "nobody beats Gerulaitis 17 times in a row". And he was right as he had finally just won against Jimbo after Jimmy Connors had beaten him 16 times in a row.

Does anybody beats Gasquet 17 times in a row. Only time will tell...

But you know the answer is YES.

YES and a bagel too

Cames kind of slobbering over Richard. Maybe he’s expanding the age range for his crushes.

The second set was amazing. Gasquet played lights out tennis and still lost it. *sigh*

Anyway, Casper Ruud should be on the top 10 list of tennis hotties.

I want to scrub Alcaraz's face really bad.

Meanwhile in Little Rock, Arkansas slam, Sock def. Escobedo in 3 tiebreaks.

Yana Sizikov questioned by police after the Alexandrova/ Sizikov vs Tomljanovic/Storm Sander double match yesterday.

She is being questioned about betting and match fixing (referring to a match from last year's RG: Sizkov/Brangle vs Mitu/Maria).

Roland Garros security tried to block the police when they were stopping her.

After two rounds there are five italians, four americans, four spaniards, four germans, two serbians, two swiss and two argentinians in the male draw

it's Argentines, guapa

R212, we demand the use of Argentinxs. Any other term would be LITERAL VIOLENCE!!!!

Tippy the Turtle is getting wiped off the court by Vika.

Quelle surprise.

And Sabalenka on the verge of elimination.

She is very good but you can trust her will do well when it matters

Sabalenka on the verge of elimination. This Garros is a complete shit show on the women's side, but still compelling, as Bimbo Ben and Cunty Courtney would insist.

Aryana Sablenka collapse is complete!!

🐢 Keys blown off the court in straight sets by Vika.

Could Vika or alphabet soup beat Serena here?

Keys is probably the player that has less control over her nerves that i've even seen.

Of course there's a big problem with her high risk tennis style, using her brain a little bit could be very helpful.

Serena has a good opportunity but there are a good bunch of players that can defeat her on her part of the draw.

If Swiatek is on the draw she is the favourite right now. She is probably the most talented clay courter since Justine Henin

Has Nadal won yet?

richard gasquet? exactly WHAT is his problem? the man was touted along with nadal to be HUGE and they were childhood rivals in fact, i think gasquet had the head to head over young rafa.. and then?

how in the world did gasquet LITERALLY never did anything to change and improve!????? NOTHING! ZILCH! NADA!... never seen a player who was touted as a great who never did anything and at the same time seemingly never tried to improve in ANY aspect of his game or change ANY aspect of his game...

kind of like sharapova! gee, you've lost how many times to serena in a row and yet, she kept on playing, playing the same, the same and losing, losing!.....

i now have even MORE respect for chris evert when she rose to the challenge of super martina and how she changed and improved her game besides just switching to a more powerful graphite racket from her trusty wood rackets..

The truth is the rivaldry was basically a press invention.

Nadal and Gasquet played only one time as juniors, and it was not even a junior event. Both had 12, and it was at Les petits as, the most prestigious under 14 event. Gasquet won their quarterfinal match in a three set thriller and was the champion that year (Nadal won the following year).

Gasquet played juniors (he was number one and won RG and the US Open) but Nadal did what most spanish players did back then and played itfs from the very beginning. He only played Wimbledon junior and reached semifinals.

They played two times at challengers, one victory each (Nadal end injured both matches).

By the first time they played on tour, Nadal was already a top player (number 4) after an amazing clay court season. Their beginnings were pretty similar but after that their careers were very different

Tennis player arrested for alleged match-fixing at 2020 French Open

PARIS — A tennis player suspected of match-fixing last year has been arrested in Paris during the French Open, the Paris prosecutor’s office said Friday.

According to French newspaper Le Parisien, which first reported the story, the player is 765th-ranked Yana Sizikova of Russia. The prosecutor’s office confirmed to The Associated Press that a “women’s international player” was in custody, but it did not identify her.

The player was arrested Thursday night on charges of “sports bribery and organized fraud for acts likely to have been committed in September 2020,” the prosecutor’s office said.

An investigation was opened last October by a French police unit specializing in betting fraud and match-fixing. It has previously worked with Belgian authorities investigating suspected fixed matches at the lower levels of professional tennis.

The prosecutor’s office said the probe centered on suspicions about one match at Roland Garros last year. It did not specify the match. German newspaper Die Welt and French sports daily L’Equipe said at the time there were suspicious betting patterns in the first round of a women’s doubles match on Sept. 30.

On that day, Sizikova and partner Madison Brengle of the United States played on Court No. 10 against Romanian players Andreea Mitu and Patricia Maria Tig. Sizikova was broken to love serving in game five of the second set, during which she double faulted twice.

Le Parisien reported Friday that tens of thousands of euros were bet with several operators in different countries on the Romanian players winning this game.

The newspaper said that Sizikova was arrested Thursday after losing in the first round of the doubles tournament at Roland Garros. The newspaper said authorities searched Sizikova’s hotel room.

It wasn’t immediately known if Sizikova has an attorney to respond on her behalf.

Last year’s French Open, delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic, was played in late September and early October.

She had some nerve coming back to France after that. Damn.

ADF team. Gotta love a hot, young, blond, Spaniard. Ruud has an unfortunate face.

Shvee-i-tek

I think Ruud is pretty handsome, but ADF is definitely more studly.

I like Ruud. I think he’s cute instead of hot tho.

Delbonis, Nishikori and Zverev reach the fourth round

What about Delboner? Such a hottie, YUM!

At R231 he looks like Voldemort.

Can't stand ADF, reminds me of the worst of Nalbandian. Sad to see Ruud out.

I hadn't seen Ruud play before today. Not very impressed.

Is Collins wearing a onesie???

Serena’s outfit is MESSY.

Rude was very passive today

Allison Hughes is getting bigger

Delbonis is so fug. Lol

Expect him to throw his head back and NEIGH!

Noticed that Serena added another ruffle to her skirt.

Many thanks! I was tired of seeing her whole ass looking like it was painted lime green.

Granny Serena through in 2. Will Rybakina give her any issues?

I want Vika to take the whole shootin' match!

Just came to know that Badosa has already reached Rd16 previously in RG 2020.. I was under impression that she had never crossed Rd1

Paula Hecog is currently coached by Dinara Safina ' Croatian coach who led her to : three grand slam finals

[quote] Allison Hughes is getting bigger

How does she compare to Townhouse?

The cheating cunt is Russian, how surprising!!!

I didn't know that they arrested people for alleged match fixing. I thought they just suspended you from the tour and then banned if found to be true.

Garin def. Giron in 4 sets it was quad heaven

PCB straight sets Johnson who was quite lucky to win both his matches this week

Medvedev straight sets Opelka

Zverev straight sets Djere

Delbonis upsets Fognini in a beatdown

Cirstea keeps up her run of good form with beatdown of Kasatkina

R241 she could. Rybakina was last year's WTA rising player before the pandemic. She's a big hitter and server. I haven't seen her play on clay so not sure how good her movement is on the surface.

Hoping to see Nishikori demolish Zverev Sunday.

R233 Alejandro can be annoying on court but he is very entertainning. Outside court he is nice and a little crazy.

I think Ruud is a solid player but he lacks something. Anyway, he improved a lot. I remember a thread on a popular forum that mocks him, Kuhn and Molleker, because they were supposed next big stars that failed big time (even if they are very young), of course Ruud doesn't belong there for a good while (they did it because he stalled on the verge of top 100 for a good while)

R249 Not going to happen

Davidovich Fokina is yet another top male who is the child of the Russian diaspora along with Tsitsipas, Zverev, and Shapo. Quite an interesting phenomenon.

R251 His looks are totally russian but his character is totally spanish which is a quite weird combination

I also like that he adds his mother's surname to the end of his surname in the Spanish tradition even keeping it feminized in the Russian tradition.

R253 That's because in Spain you don't change the surnames by sex

And Badosa wins in extremis

And now Titsy takes on repulsive Trumper Isner.

Please Tsitsy! PLEASEEEE!!!!

There's a rumor that Titsy is playing with an injury in his torso/rib cage.

yes, I'm also watching Tsitsipas match on Tennis Channel

Are you guys going to the US Open?

I had to mute Cames. He’s carrying on about Isner like he’s won 30 Grand Slams

Someone tell Daddy Cames that Isner is never going to fuck him.

I’m just ignoring him completely. 🙉

Why isn't Tracy Austin working the tourney? I enjoy her commentary. She's about 1,000 times better than Chris Evert-etc.

Will we get the musings of Chrissie this weekend on ESPN?

Tsitsipas is so predictable. He always lose his serve at the worse moment.

I have the bad feeling he is going to tank this match

Shit Isner just took the 1st set!

Did he change his clothes? He took his bag into the bathroom

Is Chrissy still single? Has she ever gone this long without a man plowing her on a regular basis? At least she is a God-fearing heterosexual unlike Navrotilover.

Sometimes I get frustrated with Tsitsy...then he turns around and I see that ass and all is forgiven.

And now he misses three break points

Titsy takes the the second, Isner sweating like a pig, shirt is soaked!

It is also raining/misty. Isner asked for the roof to be closed, to no avail. I have a bad feeling. Please Tsitsipas, please, please.

It's not exactly rocket science for Tsitsipas to constantly be drop shotting, and hitting behind isner! and severe slicing keeping the ball very very low to nearly 7 foot tall Isner...

on another subject, SHUT THE HELL UP JIM COURIER! JESUS CHRIST! YAP, YAP, YAP, YAP!...

DAMN Why can't we have knowledgeable and KNOW when to talk british commentators! PLEASE can we at least get Ginny Wade!...

I'm watching with the volume off.

Tsitsipas isn't wearing his chains today...

Titsy in chains sounds hawt.

Tsitsy up two sets and a break. Please!!!!

R278 are you visiting from the future?

Is Cames still stroking his hard-on for Isner?

R279.. R278 is watching the match LIVE as I am.... Tsitsipas up 4-1 and 15-30 on the isner serve..

i wonder does ole jimmy courier frequent the men's locker room and shower area all the time?

What is the name of the color of Titsy’s shorts?

R282.. dark lavender? or maybe rich plum?

Yay! I’m so happy.

Isner is horrible but he has an adorable face...sorry I had to say it. But then again, I think I have bad taste, Medvedev is my primary crush.

Thank you r283. It’s my favorite color but I never know what to call it in inquiries with salesbottoms.

Wonder Bread and Fivehead, R285

R285... isner's face is generic white bread " boyish cute'... nothing more... one would think he does have one huge schlong though...

Titsy is a million times hotter.

I don't like his hair.

gurl at least he has some

Isner IS a huge shlong.

R224 Arrested? In custody? For match fixing? Is that commensurate to the crime? It’s not great; but she didn’t stab anybody, either.

R265 They still show tennis on ESPN?

R293, they may think that the player knows something. For all the billions generated by professional sports, there’s probably even more money in illegal gambling, and therefore more match-fixing than we ever hear about.

I noticed that Tennis Channel never mentioned the match fixing arrest and I’m not surprised...

Since they won’t SHUT THE FUCK UP about Draftkings! Fuck off! It’s so tacky. This is Roland Garros not fucking Vegas. Shit.

Oh yeah, and I wasn’t from the future - just tennis channel. Lol

Or otherwise I would be betting on Draftkings...

I caught a segment this week where whoever it was who was with Wertheim gave a plug to Draft Kings or some other betting site and I could see him grimace.

Did Bogdan really played that we'll or Badosa was bad today?

HUN(g) Tennis

Wow.

He is so hot. Damn.

Shapo has really skinny arms (see pics 2 and 3 at the link). I'd never noticed. I guess I was too busy looking at his blond leg hair.

lmfao Fognini had a -33 differential of winners to errors today

R300, whoever runs that site seems to limit "atpdudes" almost exclusively to southeast Europeans, a few other Europeans, and Farah. Blah

R304. Yeah and way too much Novak. He's not hot!

Why isn't Jack Sock playing at the French Open? Instead he's playing at something called the Little Rock Open.

R306 Because right now Jack Sock is number 248 so he has no ranking to play qualifications

Sloaney seems to be playing some decent tennis again. I wish she had been in the joke bottom half. She could have reached the final.

Sloane was on the verge of losing against Carla on first round.

She is so talented, is a pity she is not focused more often

And after and awful clay season Lil Diego is playing well again, and he has a good draw to reach quarterfinals

R309 we have seen quite a few players who have been on the verge of losing in an early round match only to go on and win the whole thing. Sloane is still too inconsistent to win this which is a shame.

But the difference is in Sloane's case it was not a question of a bad match, she is playing like crap for a lot of time

solid win for Sloane!

Muchova is tricky so she did well to get out of there in straights

Stitolina tanking big time again

r310, that was a nice win. Shout out to Kohlschreiber age 37/ 5'10" who in 18yrs only got to one GS QF, topped out at 16 in the world with 8 titles. No one on the tour ever wanted to see him in the first round because they always knew he would come out firing. He must be an extremely focused person to stay so consistently motivated.

And Svitolina lost 63 62.

She must be one of the weakest top players ever

I am in lust with Musetti.

That is all.

Never seen Musetti before. He looks like an older(in a good way), more handsome and manly version of Timothee Chalamet.

Musetti lose his serve when he was serving for match, then wasted three match points on Ceccinato serve, now he has three match points with his serve, hopefully he will end the match right now

I realize Musetti is younger than Chalamet but I stand by my opinion.

Sinner won very easy the first set. Alcaraz woke up but i think it's too late for him to save the first set (he was down 5 1 and now it's 54 on Struff serve)

Svitolina will never win a slam and it's time to knock her off prospective winners or players who could. Obviously she "could" win like any player that enters but her game is too basic.

The problem is not that she doesn't have weapons, the problem is in GS she is not even a solid player like she generally is on the circuit.

She is failing again and again and again, and unlike Serena, she is not even losing to top players, she is losing to everyone

May be if she concentrate on tennis instead of riding that big pole then she might have a chance to win something.

What? She lost to Swiatek, she must be amazing

Not even 20 minutes of match and Djokovic is already winning 5-0

I hate Novaxx but I would rather have him win than yet another boring Pedal win at Garros.

Judy' a fan should know that Jamie lost in the third round of doubles

R327 I doubt Novak will defeat Rafa. Last year's conditions were perfect for Novak and he didn't have a chance

I would be happy if Rafa could surpass Fed by winning another here. If Rafa can’t win it, then I would be happy if ANYONE THAT ISN’T named Novak Djokovic won.

Kim at R328, Judy is busy right now. She is in a room with Andy, the door is locked and there are moans and grunts heard. She can't be bothered with Jamie, especially after refused her special attention.

Whom is Gramps Fed blowing that this prissy bitch gets to play every single match on Chatrier?

Because they know that Roger will draw a crowd.

I woke to Kenin down a set and now it looks like she has it. She’s a scrappy little thing.

R332, I think all three have to take at least one turn in outer court purgatory; Roger's turn hasn't come up yet.

Just imagine the tizzy Roger would have if Novak were the one to tie or break his GS record.

R335, I remember a few years ago when even Ragerena and Novaxx pointed out that the cunts at the AELTC always put Prissy Bitch Gramps on Centre Court while everyone else had to play at least one match on the other courts, if not more. The organizers finally relented and put Gramps on Court One for his next match which he ended up losing. Watching the Gramps fans losing their shit over his loss and the scheduling of the match was amusing.

Today Gramps will play in an empty stadium since his match is at 9 PM night schedule.

So there is no question of pulling the crowd.

Just imagine if he Loses today then his last match of RG would be in an empty stadium and he would go out and having farewell by waving at at few fans

igas draw is pathetic, cuntaveit is an idiot

I would find that sad. No matter your feelings about Fed - he has been a fabulous player and will always be considered a GOAT.

I agree 1000%, R327. Anything but another boring Nadal win.

[quote] he has been a fabulous player and will always be considered a GOAT

"A" Goat? There is only one GOAT, and she is a child of the Lord!

AH YES, another 35 year old nadal win, who manages to outslug, outlast and have more endurance than players 10, 12, 15 years younger than him in 3 out of 5 sets and on slow clay! simply supernatural amazing isn't it?! (monumental sarcasm!)..

R343, he has a heart condition!

R343, why is that more surprising than a 40-year-old Serena consistently reaching the finals and semis of Slams and "magically" outlasting much younger opponents?

when she was the last time in the final? for sure not when she has been 40

Sakkari walks like she has a huge cock.

Serena has a good chance of making the final. Unless her opponents up to this point have just made her look good.

Serena-Nadal is not a good comparison. Serena when she's on is still one of the best servers ever. That can help her get through a match. And Serena is more of a first-strike tennis player. Nadal's game relies on strength and endurance, wearing his opponents down or working a point so he can hit a big forehand. Nadal is not the best server. At his age, he should be fading a bit. I think it's ridiculous that these young guys can't seem to outlast him.

On the other hand, Nadal, Federer and Djokovic are otherworldly players. Nadal on clay is the mentally toughest player out there. I haven't seen that mentality in the younger generation, although Sinner's generation gives me hope in the next couple years as they develop. You can tell they REALLY want to win, just like the Big 3 (sorry Judy).

Sinner in his mid 20s could be sooo good. Best potential I've seen in awhile. Good thing for him is he will potentially hit his stride when the big 3 is all in their 40s. Though they will probably somehow still win all the majors.

R350, Gramps Fed's Slam winning days are over. It's only a Big 2 now. Pedal will still be winning RG at the end of this decade and Novaxx will probably be a 14-time Aussie Open winner. Gramps will end up third in the all-time Slam count. Judy will still be bleating about the imaginary Big Four and creepily talking about how [italic] big [/italic] her Andy has always been.

What happened to Jen Brady?

Berreteami 🐻 or Nancy Kwon team?

After reading the typical forum comments after a defeat (Alcaraz is so overrated) i searched for the result of the big 3 the years they turned 18 and surprise, noone of them reached the fourth round on any GS. Federer even lost two times at qualifications.

Of course Nadal didn't reach the second week in any GS because he was injured and didn't play Roland Garros and Wimbledon

I just Kwon't.

Berrettini is having way more trouble than i was expecting

Alcaraz rrrrrrrrrrrrripped

Where are they showing the Federina match?

you meant Federinka?

Federina tee hee. The name fits him. He's such a prissy diva.

R358, it's on Peacock, NBC's streaming service.

I said on a forum that Koepfer unlike others is not going to go on court to take a selfie with Roger, people laughing but i was right.

If Roger wants to win he is going to work for it

Will Queenie Federina be retiring at the end of the year?

What was the umpire saying to Berrettini after the second set?

Matteo was saying he'd never heard about it before, and the umpire seemed surprised.

Thanks r361. I was watching it on nbcsports and they said coverage concluded and I was like wtf? I hate having to hunt down the French Open. NBC needs to let it go and Tennis Channel carry it exclusively.

That's so fucking lame to exclusively put a tennis match on streaming only. The Tennis Channel will start showing Federer at 6 PM EST

Koepfer's spitting is so disgusting. Yuck - and disrespectful.

Not only is it tough to find, but the ATP site shows "No Live Matches". Yesterday, both the ATP site AND the Roland Garros site showed "No Live Matches" when Titsy was playing Isner.

I thought I was hallucinating when you bitches kept commenting on the match and the score.

Anyone see Koepfer practically rubbing one out during the break? 😂

He was rubbing/scratching under his towel for a good 20-30 seconds.

John and Mary are really taking the piss out of “the Peacock” they’re broadcasting on.

[quote] practically rubbing one out

Rubbing one of what out?

R368 yeah it’s weird how the French open just disappears. They’re talking about it now on peacock- what happens when our time is up? Where do we go? Johnny Mac is laughing about it.

I pull it up on google for the scores.

“Of course, for Roger there’s the added pressure of being seen on Peacock for the first time.”

r369, That was hysterical, if he did that on the bus he'd be reported and have to register as a sex offender. I can't wait to see if they show it on the replay tomorrow. Seriously, I've seen guys come quicker than that. Obviously, he had an itch, probably from sweat and razor burn. Or maybe he was just excited to play Roger.

He's rehearsing the groin injury the organizers of the tournament told him to fake so he could default to Roger.

Jeez, I wish this Federer match was on actual TV, it sounds like it's amazing. Very close.

Where is Federer match?

yeah someone please splain me this NBC streaming shit

I know it's about money

It's on shitty Peacock tv I signed up for free for 7 days trial - do it. Johnny Mac is throwing exquisite shade about the match not getting any attention.

Koepfer has pretty eyes.

Koepher just got a point penalty for spitting! Mary said we have to look up the luggie rule.

This Koepfer has big arms, wow. Yum. Don't like the spitting tho.

Federer is most definitely older and slower now but the difference between them when at the net is like night and day.

Finally got to the match via Peacock Premium, which included with my Xfinity cable account. SHEESH.

Funny to hear that NBC Sports tennis music on Peacock. The old days of French Open on NBC really are long gone.

Here's a link to stream the Federer match:

Koepfer is German but played tennis while at college in the US so he's taken a few years to find his footing on tour. He's quite fit and tenacious. Federer if he wins this will be exhausted even with a day off

Oh dear God if this goes 5 you know Mirka will be bingeing Milk-Duds.

Gramps wins.

I hope Koepfer didn't spit again.

Pound the opponent!

Shocked how well Dani is playing. Be interesting to see how far he gets in the bottom half.

I’m ova her.

This thread has been paywalled. Thanks to the OP of the new thread.
