2024 French Open - General Discussion for Men's Singles

[Move]

Followed by a break and winning the set
Good signs

 

[Hitman]

I call Sinner The Human Wrecking Machine for a reason.

 

[vokazu]

Lol Shelton is epic

 

[Hitman]

Vintage Sinner!

 

[Hitman]

Look at that ball striking....no one on the planet does it better.

 

[MichaelNadal]

I want Nagal to beat Khachanov

 

[Hitman]

How crisp was that smash from Sinner, even he smiled.

 

[speedysteve]

Good enough start for Sinner.
It would appear Juventus' physios did a good job on the Jannick hip.
Now to play himself in..

 

[Rovesciarete]

He certainly can rely on his brutal hitting to tip-toe into RG while feeling out his hip.

 

[Hitman]

 

[NaDjoFed]

The virtual number 1 ranked player seems just fine. can go deep in RG. Welcome back Jannik.

 

[Rovesciarete]

Funky graphs by RG, quite frenchly to be different but interesting stuff there…

 

[junior74]

Vintage Sinner!

Cardinal Sinner?

 

[Hitman]

Cardinal Sinner?

You know what's in the box right?

 

[junior74]

Eubanks' game is very pleasing on the eye.

 

[speedysteve]

A couple were quite funny..

 

[Hitman]

A couple were quite funny..

The Murray one where he was getting backhands from his mother made me laugh.

 

[ojo rojo]

Gaston with an early break in the third.
Crowd already raucous and it's not even noon yet

 

[Boom-Boom]

Gaston breaking Shelton again

 

[Hitman]

One more set to go for Sinner.

 

[jl809]

Sinner just needs to get through these matches in good physical condition and minimal time, he can worry about the level from R4 onwards ish. Not good by his standards rn but also definitely not bad for his first match in a while

 

[Hitman]

Here comes the roof....

 

[jl809]

Oh man. Nadal fans, look away now. This could be fatal to ya boy

 

[junior74]

French Open so often makes me remember that special Eurythmics song.

 

[Hitman]

Crazy defense from Sinner....he's moving beautifully out there. Very encouraging.

Let's see. It's a long tournament if you aren't fully fit.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Sinner and Eubanks: Battle of the skinny legs!

 

[Lingua Franca]

I call Sinner The Human Wrecking Machine for a reason.

Can we make a slight change? I like "Machine-Wrecking Human"!

 

[Watching]

Let's see. It's a long tournament if you aren't fully fit.

Today's objective is just closing the match in straights

 

[junior74]

Today's objective is just closing the match in straights

Yeah, against Eubanks. Sinner said he wasn't fully fit yesterday.

Fingers crossed.

 

[ojo rojo]

Did I just see Sinner wincing and clutching at hip after last game?

 

[speedysteve]

Like the Carota boys cam every now and then
Nice to see them out in force.

 

[jl809]

I was about to post this - I can’t decide if I am imagining things but that looked off and so has his walking?

 

[Deleted member 806402]

Jabeur bagel followed by Swiatek double bagel then Rafa enters the court. Vamos.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Sinner is looking great. Very easy even at the net that Djokovic lacked.

Had the same musings myself; hard to tell.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Sinner double fault gives Eubanks double
break points.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Sinner pulls out the win. 6-3 6-3 6-4.

Lol at the people in the crowd in carrot outfits.

 

[Hitman]

Sinner looks ready. Exciting.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Comfortable win for sinner. He looks good and hopefully over his injury.

 

[speedysteve]

Nice win considering.
I'd be flying the Juventus guys in for speed R&R after each match.
Can't say I saw any hip issues.

 

[junior74]

Bumblebeepas holds

 

[Hitman]

Fucs looks like he just did a two hour weight training session before stepping onto the court.

 

[junior74]

Tsitsipas' sliced backhand is easily inside top 5000 in the world

 

[ojo rojo]

Maybe

 

[junior74]

Maybe

Top 50.000? Not sure.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Tsitsipas with a tricky first round here.

Daddy af

 

[junior74]

Tsitsipas with a tricky first round here.

There are no other kind of rounds for him.

 

[Notorious_Junkballer]

The weather forecast for this week sure doesn't look too promising. Good luck to the organizers...
