DoubIt's a pure gimme. A no name player in the R4, then his pigeons Sonego or Kach o
In the QF.
But realistically what would be a tough draw for Novak in RG unless Nadal was playing?
Also do you have any info on Nadal's surgery? It's crazy that he had to go the medical route for something like this. Will he ever be the same player again after having been under the knife?
What it is, is excruciatingly dull. If Alcaraz loses against Musetti, I doubt I will bother watching the tournament any further.
A tough draw is subjective but thus far he hasn’t faced anyone, except maybe ADF, with a hope in hell of a challenge.
Djokovic coasting to slam titles with fluke draws is becoming extremely tedious to me although I’m sure others disagree.
Rafa’s hip problem was misdiagnosed initially, which is why he didn’t recover. It seems it is now correctly assessed and this surgery addressed the problem and an issue surrounding an old hip injury. It is therefore expected he can recover fully albeit that is going to take him out of this season.
Provided he can heal fully, then he is the one player I would expect to return and be able to play at a high level. Time will tell, hopefully he will challenge again. Knowing Rafa, he won’t come back unless he feels he can do that.
