[HetTheGreaterer]

Discussion over

 

[Sambuccashake]

This thread can very well end here.

Nadl.

 

[Adv. Edberg]

Yeah it’s not a very strong field. But Nadal has been injured since November so difficult to tell.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Fedr

Draw is at 6.30 pm local time

 

[jaggy]

That is such an iconic view

 

[RF-18]

Just read that Djokovic and Nadal can face off in the 3rd round.

That can't happen. #1-4 faces #13-16 in R3, Novak is seeded #9 and will face #5-8 in R3.

Oh okey. Read on an article on Twitter with the headline that they could draw eachother in the 3rd round.

R.I.P.

For that Joe would have to win a match.

... since birth, no ?

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

I think I could stare at that pic all day long.

 

[merwy]

Absolutely beautiful. Shame that it doesn’t have better attendance

Yeah :/ I was there in 2013 and it was sold out the last 5 days.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Is wawrinka playing?

 

[natalia]

Yeah it’s not a very strong field. But Nadal has been pretending to be injured since November so difficult to tell.

Fixed that for you.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Nadal-Thiem

Dimitrov-Goffin

Zverev-Pouille

Cilic-Carreño Busta

 

[I Am Finnish]

Nadal, Djokovic and Thiem ALL IN THE SAME QUARTER in Monte Carlo.


LOL

Thiem - Djokovic possible 3rd round, right? Not the easiest start on clay for @ThiemDomi

yep

The Monte Carlo Draw:

Thanks

 

[MugOpponent]

Djoker isn't getting past Coric.

Coric and Thiem is about as tough as you could possibly make Rafa's quarter. The good news is he'll only have to deal with one of them.

 

[I Am Finnish]

So wawrinka is not playing

 

[marc45]

ATP site doesn't have brackets up yet

 

[MugOpponent]

I'm not really sure Thiem gets through Rublev or Coric. Brutal draw for Thiem.

 

[Pagoo]

Nishikori's potential draw is brutal. At this rate it's going to be tough to improve his ranking. Let's see if he can get past Berdych who tends to play well in MC.

F Nadal/Dimitrov/Thiem
SF Zverev/Pouille
QF Cilic/Raonic
3R PCB/Edmund
2R Fucsovics/Medvedev
1R Berdych

 

[Pagoo]

Hope FAA can get past Mischa Zverev.

Dimitrov will probably lose to Krajinovic.

 

[EloQuent]

Where's the draw?

Thanks, saw it after poasting

A better overview

 

[marc45]

looks like warmer than usual next week with some rain later in the week

 

[jaggy]

Foggy is the only person I rate with a chance against Nad

 

[helixx]

Chung not playing? Dont see him in the draw or am I blind?

 

[underground]

Berdych - Nishikori 1R is just brutal.

Novak can get ready for another R2 exit.

Or a r1 exit

 

[underground]

Or a r1 exit

That wouldn’t surprise me either.

The VB will have to wait until Novak goes unseeded at slams to have hopes to amend the H2H.

 

[Jonas78]

Just read that Djokovic and Nadal can face off in the 3rd round.

I will be shocked If Djokovic gets that far...

 

[RF-18]

Djokovic

R1 Q
R2: Coric
R3: Thiem
QF: Nadal



Come on Nole!

 

[Pagoo]

Shapovalov:

R1 : Q
R2 : Goffin
R3 : RBA / Lopez
QF : Dimitrov / Ramos
SF : Nadal / Thiem / Djokovic
F : Cilic / Busta / Zverev / Pouille

How far can he go?

 

[Pagoo]

Berdych - Nishikori 1R is just brutal.

Novak can get ready for another R2 exit.

Ready for SDL?

Someone said Djokovic looked good in practice. So maybe he can do something here.

 

[Pagoo]

Looks like Monfils is still injured. Ferrer withdrew. Something about him becoming a father soon.

 

[EloQuent]

Shapovalov:

R1 : Q
R2 : Goffin
R3 : RBA / Lopez
QF : Dimitrov / Ramos
SF : Nadal / Thiem / Djokovic
F : Cilic / Busta / Zverev / Pouille

How far can in go?

This looks tough on paper but if Goffin's eye is still bothering him that is winnable. Then Dimitrov is in poor form and clay isn't his surface. RBA and ARV are the tough ones, then of course the SF is a buzzsaw.

I agree with this. I hope Goffin is okay. He's defending a SF, I think. Or QF?

 

[Plamen1234]

For Novak it will be better to lose before the quarter finals.I think he can get to the Thiem match though.

I’m not believing it till I see it. He said he ran out of gas after 6 games in Miami...

This is gonna be a tough SDL

 

[MugOpponent]

I need a Fognini-Sasha Zverev match. It could be epic watching Fabio toy with Sasha.

Yeah. And those daily picks for the first couple of rounds doesn't help.
