Looks like Shavovalov has an insta-rematch with Fonseca, first round! Could be fun..

 

[1hander]

Dimi is back

I think Sinner has been playing too much tennis. My heart wants him to win but my head tells me he doesnt

Let’s see if it makes a noticeable difference to him.

 

[BernetExpress]

Only 1 match of interest in first round
Dimi vs GMP
Wouldn’t be surprised if dimi retires after 13 games

 

[BernetExpress]

He does look exhausted. Cramping frequently.
No points to defend in Paris. Maybe withdraws and prepares for finals.

Seriously?

 

[dking68]

SINNER DO NOT PLAY PARIS. YE #1 IS OVER. YOU COOKED YOUR FAITH IN THE RG FINAL >>

 

[EddieChang]

so many injured players in the draw

 

[roysid]

https://twitter.com/x/status/1982491727249478059

Seriously?

As per rule its allowed. He did the walkover which is equivalent to losing.
He knew he would get the LL as the highest ranked qualifier and there were two withdrawals viz. Mensik and Bonzi.

So he quit the match as he will get the LL. Morally wrong though.

Shanghai Finalists can potentially meet in R2.

....

 

[roysid]

Alcaraz can wrap up year end no. 1 here. He is leading by 2000 points in the race. And atp finals provide max 1500 points.
All alcaraz need to do is to stay within 500 points of Sinner earned in paris, making the finals would gurrantee it regardless of Sinner result

 

[ForehandCross]

Rested Medvedev to spoil the party and make one of Sinner / Alcaraz bleed before losing to random person of the week.

Wait he plays Munar first round? That can be tough because Munar is exactly the kind of player he used to beat and now he struggles a lot against

 

[ForehandCross]

Vacherot vs Carlos is one match I would love. Rinderknech vs Vacherot is possible too.

A loophole that needs closing imo. Very shady

Hmm ...the LL should not be awarded blindly as per ranking. Anyone withdraws, tanks or retired during the qualifying match should not get LL entry

 

[Hitman]

Shanghai Finalists can potentially meet in R2.

Another example of fixing the draw IMO.

 

[Spielgame]

Poor Machac, is he injured or something? Lost the first set to Cobolli in 21 minutes, 1-6.

 

[Spielgame]

Meanwhile Altmeier is leading Giron 5-2 on Court 2 that looks like a Challenger tournament.

 

[Spielgame]

LOL, behind the spectators at Altmeier Giron match, there is a player practicing serve on the court next door.

 

[Spielgame]

I like this dark green and black colours on the tennis court.

 

[Spielgame]

Giron is working so hard trying to hold his serve in this second set.

Finally he held.

 

[Spielgame]

Poor Giron got broken and smacked his racquet onto the court.

 

[Spielgame]

Poor Giron, he had 3 breakpoints and wasted them all.

 

[Spielgame]

Giron didn't want to waste another breakpoint. He finally got the break back.

 

[Spielgame]

Nice serve and volley by Altmaier

 

[Spielgame]

Too much negative body language from Giron

 

[Spielgame]

Altmeier has more positive body language, more confidence and more clutch. Finished Giron with an ace.

Better luck next time Giron.

Altmeier 33 winners, Giron 25 winners.

 

[Spielgame]

La Defense... a lot of memories from that place. One time at the La Defense station, a French guy actually asked me which train goes to Château de Vincennes. Lol, I was a first time tourist in Paris and a French guy asked me for direction, lmao.

 

[Spielgame]

Wow Tien is on court now.

 

[Spielgame]

Tien is really really good at creating angles.

 

[tennis24x7]

I think Sinner has been playing too much tennis. My heart wants him to win but my head tells me he doesnt

Sinner has pulled a Murray this year.

 

[ForehandCross]

Rinderknech won his first match back

 

[4UTRMoutet]

Too much negative body language from Giron

Giron is notorious for one of the most consistently coldest net handshakes on tour, possibly tied with Jaume Munar.

 

[1hander]

Kovacevic vs Kecmanovic are having some brutal rallies at 5-5 in the third.

 

[Vincent-C]

Tien is really really good at creating angles.

Yes he is, including from "neutral". Good player.

Go, Learner!

 

[Fabrivitx]

The courts are really slow, its incredibile they change from last year.. soon a 12 month clay season

 

[Vincent-C]

Tien takes out Borges in straights, and plays Rublev next.

Cool.

 

[Move]

Camera position / technique in Centre Court is just as awful or even more maybe compared to the previous venue
The court width is larger than the court length on screen, ridiculous

Its horrible camera position. I agree

 

[Move]

Good to see Grigor back and playing well

 

[Vincent-C]

Its horrible camera position. I agree

Don't worry, it's intentional.

Agreed! It was the first thing I noticed. Really gives a horrible perspective of the shots as a result.

I thought because of that they changed the rules a few years ago, so that the highest ranked loser cannot just lose on purpose (possibly even in agreement with the opponent).

At least that's what I heard, that there is a random choice between at least 3 or so of the highest ranked players. And that would exactly make sense to avoid these situations AND still reward rankings to some degree.

So did they get back to the old rule then?
