He did it on purpose

Nadal and Thiem in the Rome draw:

2015: both in the bottom half
2016: both in the top half
2017: both in the bottom half
2018: both in the top half
2019: both in the bottom half

 

[Meles]

Nole is screwed Potential Shapo first round (took set at Auz), Cecchinato R16, and then Wawrinka QF. Zedbot2017 waiting in SF should Nole have delusions of grandeur.

ATP mafia doing very well, huh

ATP mafia doing very well, huh

We should bet all the money we have that they'll be in the top half of the draw in 2020

 

[duaneeo]

Great draw for Roger if he plays.

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

Great draw for Roger if he plays.

Which he won't...

 

[underground]

What the heck is that cake draw for Novak, second time in a row he gets Delpo.

@Meles... now stop trolling so outrageously. Shapo poses absolutely ZERO threat to Djokovic on any surface, especially clay. Hopefully that will change some day, but that day hasn't yet come.

Shapo is dangerous and just the tip of the spear/iceberg for Nole.

LOL. Errah Delpo is not showing for that match it will be Meddy or Wawa. Fraudulent post calling that a cake draw.

 

[oldmanfan]

Use this in your OP if you want. It's not as pretty, but the draw is a little easier to read.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Federer v Tsitsipas on clay interests me.

 

[The Green Mile]

Yikes, probable Stanimal vs Delpo 2nd round....

 

[The Green Mile]

Oh wow, potential Gasquet vs Nadal 2nd round match as well, how intriguing

 

[oldmanfan]

Oh wow, potential Gasquet vs Nadal 2nd round match as well, how intriguing

Fear not. The Gasquet against Fedr hasn't much chance against Chardy. So... Nadal/Chardy, a 'little' better, no?

 

[Yugram]

Not as intriguing as Federer vs Gasquet, no? Maestro had to play his very best to even stand a chance, no?

 

[MichaelNadal]

I don't see a WTA thread and can't be bothered to make one, but NOT happy about Venus/Serena R2.

 

[The Green Mile]

Fear not. The Gasquet against Fedr hasn't much chance against Chardy. So... Nadal/Chardy, a 'little' better, no?

Just a little Probably will be Chardy, the way Gasquet was playing against Fed. Looked like he still had a few nagging problems from his previous injury.

 

[The Green Mile]

Not as intriguing as Federer vs Gasquet, no? Maestro had to play his very best to even stand a chance, no?

Let's just say, similar levels of intrigue lol... It's probably going to be Chardy anyhow...

Where are all the Rafa-haters? Usually by now there are two pages of them whining about Rafa's cupcake draw.

 

[Feather]

Federer v Tsitsipas on clay interests me.

I think Roger should play. He has nothing to lose. Just enjoy. Anyway he knows that he is not going to win. He can make the SF without much trouble.

 

[marc45]

Decent draws

 

[Zebrev]

Huh, looks like Roger has a decent chance to reach Rafa in the semifinals. That would be a big match. If Roger beats Nadal on clay I think that has huge repercussions on the H2H.

It's raining quite heavily in Rome, so play has been suspended.

Wow. Just hit. Norrie and Nishioka just qualified before the deluge.

 

[I Am Finnish]

The weather in Rome is not looking good this week


The main court has a roof right?

 

[moonballs]

Where are all the Rafa-haters? Usually by now there are two pages of them whining about Rafa's cupcake draw.

Not this time. Nadal has a tough draw from hell--need to beat Thiem/Fed/Djoko back to back to back to win the title.

One exception doesn't change in the most competitive prime of the big three, from 2008 to 2012, Fed and Djokovic were almost always playing in the SFs. And USO 2017.

Do you have confidence that Nadal can overcome a tough draw on his favorite surface?

 

[Meles]

Stringer I'm watching Sinner, another smaller slowish Italian. Not amazed, but I'm watching. I can see why you favor the youngerer one armed Musseti (had to watch him on low quality feed). Sinner looks about 13 years old going on 6, so I suppose he might have a late growth spurt. Rublev was more impressive at the same age by far.

 

[Meles]

@stringertom that Sinner backhand Sinnerlating.

He’s got more fight in him and plays smarter than Money. Would Rubylev have come back from an opening breadstick to bake one of his own and then win 4 games in a row from match game down???

 

[I Am Finnish]

Imo Tsitsipas should withdraw Rome


The kid is playing tournaments every week it reminds me of Thiem a few years ago

Johnson Sinnerated. The flat power, aggression, and Flabbio smoothness were out of sight.

Who wants some Sinner next? LULZ. Goatsipas

ATP won't allow it unless actually injured. Going to be Sinnerated for his mistake.
