Sinner to join Daniil Medvedev and Carlos Alcaraz in winning 2 masters titles this year.

 

[Rattie]

Good draw for Carlos.

 

[Hitman]

Sinner has a tough draw here, has to likely beat Zverev and Medvedev just to get to the semis.

Draw looks stacked though, could be an epic event.

 

[Rattie]

Alcaraz projected draw:

R1: Bye
R2: Borges/Barrere
R3: Evans
R4: Khachanov
QF: Fritz
SF: Rublev/Tsitsipas
F: Medvedev/Sinner

 

[Aabye5]

Finally, a kind draw for FAA. Now can he make anything of it?

A kind draw? He has Medvedev, who owns him completely in the 4th round.

 

[Rattie]

Andy with the draw from hell again.

I feel bad for him but at the same time if he wants to be a tennis great he needs to start clearing through the draw irregardless of who’s on the opposite side of the net. He needs to overcome adversity with optimism and start winning big titles, he’s not 19/20. He’s 22 and needs to start winning NOW.

Its time to step up for him.

Bah, FAA needs wins after his long year in the desert. Facing Rune in the first round to maybe facing Med in the 4th round? I will gladly take a 4th round loss to Medvedev on his comeback trail. Let's see if he can get past his first match to begin with. Besides, he lost to both Frankie and Mackie this year.

 

[albatros_forehand]

Surely joking. That bottom quarter is insane. Med Sinner Zverev Shelton Baez Korda etc.

 

[JJGUY]

R1 Murray vs. Safiullin

Hard to pick, both seem to be in good forms. The previous meet was in 2022, Murray won in 3 sets, before that Safiullin won a challenger meet up in 2021, also a 3 setter.

Safiullin in 2

 

[Aabye5]

Andrey Rublev and Chris Eubanks as semifinalists?

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Sinner to join Daniil Medvedev and Carlos Alcaraz in winning 2 masters titles this year.

When did he win his 1st?

Toronto

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Toronto

Ah that one

 

[DIMI_D]

It’s med or Alcaraz I’m picking med for this one

 

[Rattie]

Drama in the qualies. Marc Polmans failed to win his match point and promptly whacked the ball into the umpires face Instant disqualification

OUCH!!!!!

 

[Benf15harp]

Tomorrow Oct 5th has to the worst no-names day of tennis at a masters in history

 

[Benf15harp]

Stan out
Murray out
Gasquet out
Fognini out
The retirement train has boarded and heading to Paris.

 

[Tennfan123]

These Murray losses one after another are quite delicious!

 

[Hawks9451]

Safiullin plays some crisp tennis

Really. Just Novak missing.....
When are we going to see Djoko again? Paris or just Masters?

Djokovic will return in Paris masters, and then play Turin YEC.

 

[JJGUY]

Will Sinner pull off a Beijing-Shanghai double? Djokovic has done that 3 times!

As a fan, I don’t trust in that. It depends on when he’ll have his first singles match. I don’t know why Shanghai has 6 rounds to win the the title for a seeded player

Because ATP has expanded Shanghai to 96 singles draw, the same as in Indian Wells.

Ugh. Let’s see how he handles. If he wins the first round match I think he gets a 3 day break

 

[Benf15harp]

What a snooze fest of a masters today.
Be hard to give these tickets away

 

[Benf15harp]

What a joke of a draw for tiny….again
Potential MUs
Rd 1 bum
Evans
Karen K or Grigor
Tiafoe or Fritz
Rublev or sissy pants
But, Then again the weakest era ever is on full display for ALL to see

What A Joke Of A Draw

 

[neytron]

1 vote for Alcaraz, 3 for Sinner and 2 for Zverev, lol.

 

[JJGUY]

A miracle just happened, Schwartzman won his match today, his first win since July!

He was on a big losing streak, good for the real tiny guy.

 

[Eureka]

Alcaraz projected draw:

R1: Bye
R2: Borges/Barrere
R3: Evans
R4: Khachanov
QF: Fritz
SF: Rublev/Tsitsipas
F: Medvedev/Sinner

Excellent! Now, the next step. The small matter of beating them..............

Andy with the draw from hell again.

'Lucky' is not his middle name, is it. Poor chap, out already. As are some of the gorgeous shbhs on tour. Gasquet / Wawrinka / Fognini.

 

[Rovesciarete]

Excellent draw for Alcaraz, a poor one for Medvedev and Sinner. I guess Charlie.

 

[Rafa4GOAT]

Rune trying a Shanghai Bagel served by Nakashima

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Good god, Rune is an absolute joke of a player now.

 

[JJGUY]

what happened? Nakashima in God mode or Rune clowning on court

Rune trying a Shanghai Bagel served by Nakashima

 

[Hitman]

Ruud bagels his opponent, while Rune gets bageled. smh.

 

[Spin Diesel]

Is anyone watching Rune? What‘s going on there? Maybe @BeatlesFan ?

 

[Rafa4GOAT]

what happened? Nakashima in God mode or Rune clowning on court

No clue, just saw the score. He’s already down a break in the second so whatever was going on seems to still be happening.

 

[Olli Jokinen]

Rune is mentally not there at all. Needs to get away from tennis for a while. Horrible display.

Will Rune qualify for WTF???

Nope

 

[Hitman]

Good bye Rune.
