In before the inevitable @sureshs report that The Nagal is out of M-C...bageled by GOATravaglia (3&0).

 

[stringertom]

Bernard has broken away from counting his millions and is now just a set away from winning his first match on clay in two years, leading Air Bear 6-3.

 

[Harry_Wild]

John Isner withdrawn. Is he injured?

 

[Harry_Wild]

Fritz vs. Agut 1st round! Wow! This could be a quarterfinal match in another tournament.

 

[romeo8880]

Fritz vs. Agut 1st round! Wow! This could be a quarterfinal match in another tournament.

Not really. Fritz got broken 8 times today

 

[Sysyphus]

nagal out of Monte Carlo. Clay season in jeopardy.

Rafa....out too?

 

[Harry_Wild]

You and Tomic, it figures! LOL!

 

[octobrina10]

The venue in 2021:

 

[Atennisone]

Nadal shouldn't be in the poll, no way he wins

 

[Atennisone]

Schwartzman wan

 

[marc45]

I accept your flattery. As does @sureshs and the original SoBad boy.

In before the inevitable @sureshs report that The Nagal is out of M-C...bageled by GOATravaglia (3&0).

 

[irishnadalfan1983]

Any chance at all they might put in even a few fans at some stage??? Makes such a difference watching it!

 

[yokied]

Most of the locals are hybrids of plastic and cardboard anyway, so nomuch difference between the fake and the real fans there anyway.

 

[stringertom]

Italians are stallions in qualifying with Caruso, Travaglia and Cecchinato all advancing. That brings them up to 8 main draw competitors in the 56-draw or one in seven from Monaco’s eastern neighbor.

EDIT: it could be 9 if Fabbiano defeats Sousa in the last qualifying match just getting underway.

 

[HardCourtMaestro]

Probably wrong but think Tsistipas will be the biggest 'threat' to Nadal.

 

[Jokervich]

Probably wrong but think Tsistipas will be the biggest 'threat' to Nadal.

What about Schwartzman?

 

[zuluzazu]

Anyone from India know how to watch Monte Carlo live as apparently sony is not streaming masters 1000 in India anymore which is bad. Please help me

 

[romeo8880]

Tennis rankings are so bad. How is Paire ranked 33rd? He’s won like 2 matches in 2 years

 

[Deleted member 771911]

The pear having his bags packed by Thompson on Clay. Though I think Le paire just went up a break in set 2.

 

[HardCourtMaestro]

What about Schwartzman?

Clay dwarf good for nothing player

 

[sureshs]

Nagal lost to Travalgia

 

[Jokervich]

Clay dwarf good for nothing player

Beat Nadal last year in Rome though

 

[Checkmate]

Knew this 'other' voter was @yokied

 

[AM75]

It's hard to be a drama queen when you play Paire, but Thompson beats Paire in this department. Every point he loses is a drama. And his exchanges with his coach are annoying.

 

[romeo8880]

13 double faults for Benoit. What happened to this guy lmao

 

[Deleted member 771911]

TG Thompson won.

 

[octobrina10]

Rafa watched the match between Thompson and Paire.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1381279069967421443

(Rafa is talking to his PR manager Benito Pérez-Barbadillo.)

 

[AM75]

13 double faults for Benoit. What happened to this guy lmao

And about 100 UE

Youtube tennis tv is streaming matches

 

[stringertom]

Nagal lost to Travalgia

See post #2. You’re welcome.

In before the inevitable @sureshs report that The Nagal is out of M-C...bageled by GOATravaglia (3&0).

You misspelled GOATravaglia’s name.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Fantastic job on the original post, @Enceladus. And I’m always up for the Monte-Carlo Masters!

 

[Harry_Wild]

I heard that the ATP Tour top 50 can play “free” at most tennis clubs worldwide! Does anyone know that is true?

 

[Milanez82]

Why did Monfils pull out, injury?

We know Bovinovic eats grass at SW19; will he add clay to his diet and become Brickovic???

@USO ... your expert analysis?

My analysis is that he didn't mention his fake 2.5 cm muscle tear not even one time.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Why did Monfils pull out, injury?

Just got engaged! You have spend some time ....you know!

 

[yokied]

[stringertom]

Toni-Felix vs Garin will be a very tough test of the new team in town.

 

[stringertom]

Another 1R match today that could be of late-round quality will be Karatsev vs Musetti. It’s time to see if The Lion roars again with his tamer Korda delaying his clay season until Barca qualies. The Moose knows and does M1K very well for a teen. I like this test for both guys.

 

[stringertom]

The Moose is on the board by saving 3 BPs to avoid a 0-3 double break hole vs The Russian Lion. Karatsev to serve 2-1.

 

[Born_to_slice]

Nice to see ball kids without masks.

 

[stringertom]

Forever and a day to continue the Lion vs Moose struggle to a 4-3 Lion lead and now the rain is causing it to drag on even more.

 

[Notorious_Junkballer]

The weather forecast sure doesn't look too good as it should basically rain all week.

 

[Nadal_Django]

Yep. It's gonna be messy, it seems...

 

[zuluzazu]

Youtube tennis tv is streaming matches

Will they be streaming Nadal matches?

 

[Nadal_King]

Will they be streaming Nadal matches?

I assume so since they srreamed federer matches and mostly all of miami event
