[Rina]

How about Karen khachanov no one has talked about him at all

I would presume if you don't hear someones name, there is a reason for it?

 

[weakera]

Stan-Stefanos on Lenglen is a joke.

 

[George Turner]

[Gazelle]

If anyone watched Fognini vs RBA how's Fog looking?

Sexy like usual. Pity he had cloths on.

 

[clayqueen]

2019 ATP Race :
Goffin #42
Ruud #37

The race is not relevant until the end of the year that's why the race ranking is not used in the draw. What's Ruud's career highest rank?

Goffin, career high #7. Ruud career high #63.

 

[I Am Finnish]

If anyone watched Fognini vs RBA how's Fog looking?

Good

Monfils, Federer and Djokovic are the only ones who have not lost a set yet

Interesting that although Nadal lost a set he won his 3rd round match in less points (201) than Fed needed to win his (204).

 

[AndyM]

Cloudy cool weather with rain 70% chance Monday 90% chance Wednesday 60% chance Friday. Hopefully Joco gets his match Monday early all bets are off on Wednesday might have to play Thursday but then Friday we'll be cool damp with showers against team or whoever he plays in the semi-final

 

[AndyM]

And a Sunday showdown with Nadal 50% chance of showers with a high temperature of only 70 degrees Fahrenheit that is good for Joko

 

[I Am Finnish]

Interesting that although Nadal lost a set he won his 3rd round match in less points (201) than Fed needed to win his (204).

Maybe bacause there were More deuce games at Fedr - Ruud?

 

[I Am Finnish]

And a Sunday showdown with Nadal 50% chance of showers with a high temperature of only 70 degrees Fahrenheit that is good for Joko

But Joe Ko Vich might play 2 matches at the same day in the 2nd week

 

[AndyM]

No he would play phony knee on Thursday and team on Friday and then get 48 hours off before the final

 

[AndyM]

I wonder if the French are smart enough to move matches up earlier in the day if rain is scheduled for later in the day probably not I've seen the US open do that remember the time US open put both semi-finals on at the same time one on Arthur Ashe and one on Armstrong they knew a storm was coming

 

[GabeT]

Maybe bacause there were More deuce games at Fedr - Ruud?

Probably.

We focus a lot on time spent at the courts as a tournament progresses but I wonder if we should also, even primarily, look at points played. Right now Nole is looking very efficient in that respect even if time spent is not so different from the other Big 3. I count the following for the first three matches:

Points played

Djokovic 441
Nadal 499
Federer 526

 

[AndyM]

Fed being all this also playing most points

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

The only time Federer has been blown off a quart with chili man in the US open 2014

Chili man

You know the French open organizers are totally excited about a Fed Nadal semi-final even if it's a beat down and of course they want Dominic thiem against Djokovic in the other semi-final

in a semi-final against team do you want cloudy conditions or sunny and hot piece it looks like it's going to be cloudy and cool next week

How is it you can type perfect English then type... well whatever that is.

State farm update Cuevas up a break in the second-set I repeat Cuevas up a set against team in the second set

Do you work for State Farm?

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Fedalovic are good looking
Especially Fedovic

Would love to see a Fedal semifinal here. They haven't played on clay vs each other since 2013!

 

[Enceladus]

[weakera]

Huge match for Sascha upcoming. A chance to advance to only his second QF at a slam and a date with Nole there.

 

[Standaa]

Who wants to bet the women before Federer’s match will go three sets?

 

[Raindogs]

Ok gals, it's been kinda cute watching you run around out there for a bit but it's time to start wrapping things up now please.

 

[Winners or Errors]

Who wants to bet the women before Federer’s match will go three sets?

It is certainly looking that way at the moment.

 

[AndyM]

Well let's make things Fair boys looks like it might rain out Tuesday and Wednesday so all the men's quarterfinals could be in Jeopardy and then rain again on Friday for the semi-finals

Stefanos created DF at Stan's SP

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Shame on Eurosport for showing this absolute foregone conclusion of a match instead of Wawrinka-Tsitsipas.

[chjtennis]

The name Burruchaga from Boy's singles competition reminds me of the Argentinian striker from the 80s. I wonder if the are related.

 

[D-Lite]

Just an observation - why aren't there more guys with Nadal's physique on tour? Wouldn't it benefit some of the skinnier guys to beef up a bit? I'm not saying there aren't tonnes of players is great shape but it seems Nadal is one of if not the only guy like that.

Paire breaked Nishikori at the start of the match.
