May 28, 20223 yr Damn Alcaraz took care of Seb Korda. I don't know what "it" is, but Alcaraz has it and Korda doesn't. Shame Parry couldn't beat Sloane because a one handed backhand for women is just about unheard of these days, Tomorrow, Kecmanovic v Medvedev should be a good one.

May 28, 20223 yr Author Iga lost 8 whole games today. Camila beat Aryna, WTA-style. 4-6, 6-1, 6-0 Paula quit.
May 29, 20223 yr Author Probably ain’t gonna see any of them, but next three matches today could be fun. Amanda v. Leylah Mertens v. Gauff Sloane v. Teichmann
May 29, 20223 yr Amanda showing herself to be mentally weaker than Leyla. Leyla is too fast for Amanda to win easy points and so Amanda’s game starts to break down. Especially because Amanda isn’t very mobile.

Especially because Amanda isn’t very mobile. Amanda has started going for more sidelines. This is helping her combat Leyla’s speed. After losing the first set, Amanda has put the pressure on the Canuck and Leyla’s been dumping tons of shots into the net.

I thought that it was spelled with an “h” on the end, but I was staring at either the Tennis Channel broadcast or the Roland-Garros website and they weren’t using an “h”, so I kept typing her name and then deleting the “h” on the end. Weird that an official site/broadcast would have omitted the “h”. My guess is that it was the Tennis Channel broadcast, because their announcers butcher female names when speaking on a regular basis even though you can go to the WTA website and hear a recording of the player pronouncing her own name.
May 29, 20223 yr FOLLOW UP ON THE MISSING “h”… Conclusion: I fucked up. Checked the Roland-Garros site, there’s an “h”. Checked my recording of the Anisimova v Fernandez match, there’s an “h”. 👓 + 🙂 = 🤓 Álcaraz looking like he’s going to roll the Ruskie, but I don’t believe that the match is on The Tennis Channel. Probably Peacock.

May 30, 20223 yr I turned on the tennis channel and am immediately shown Giorgi’s dad being caught in 4K sneaking a hit of his vape pen and I think I need to go back to bed
May 30, 20223 yr Author 8 straight games for Iga after dropping the first in a breaker to the Chinese girl. Up 3-1 now.
May 30, 20223 yr Apparently I posted this on the wrong thread. Tsitsipas looked off for most of today. I don’t mind at all, but maybe Holger Rune showing him absolutely no respect while nailing him with a volley at the net in one of the first few games despite the Greco-Russian’s being a finalist (who started last year’s final up 2 sets to love) unnerved him a bit. Throughout the match, and especially late in the 4th set, Tsitsipas showed glimpses of being an absolute monster, but he wasn’t consistent for shit. On to the battle of Denmark & its former territory! 🇩🇰 v 🇳🇴
May 30, 20223 yr Medvedev is out too. Cilic is a huge surprise. Someone is going to be a token finalist from that bottom of the draw, maybe it's Rune? I think Djokovic just edges Nadal, then Carlitos schools him like the punk ass bitch he is before winning the final.
May 30, 20223 yr Author Ha, Rafa/Novak is now scheduled for 1:45p tomorrow. NBC must have put in a call.
May 31, 20223 yr Author Leylah looked like she needed her fucking foot amputated earlier, now she’s fucking miraculously fine. This shit is so fucking stupid.
May 31, 20223 yr Author I legitimately hate the FO, fuck this. At least you kids have the men’s match later.

She’s nowhere close to fine. If she were fine, she would have won the 2nd set 6-2. She is constantly hobbling and isn’t able to even reach balls that she would normally easily handle. Trevisan’s wailing until the ball is about to be hit by Leylah should always be illegal. Edited May 31, 20223 yr by Napoleon
May 31, 20223 yr Author We both know you didn’t see the second set. Trevisan is now back to waking up. Edited May 31, 20223 yr by shadow_operative2.0
May 31, 20223 yr Author I try to champion the women, but horrific shit like this makes it impossible.
May 31, 20223 yr Author Sloane ‘bout to chomp on a breadstick from Coco. She probably likes bread though.
May 31, 20223 yr Author How fucking pissed will everyone be if Iga/Trevisan happens? That will fuck the ratings.
May 31, 20223 yr Trevisan trying to be the next random Italian to win the French. Schiavone did it in 2010
May 31, 20223 yr Alcaraz just got beat in 4 by Zverev. Pretty big upset. Nadal v Djokovic coming up in 30 minutes or so

Nadal v Djokovic coming up in 30 minutes or so The “night session” (never a “session”, always a single match)… Starts at 2:00pm CDT The day session fans have to be flushed, the aisles swept, the night fans admitted, and it’s on at 2pm. Most did nazi Zverev 🇩🇪 winning today, but even after choking away serving for the match at 5-4 in the 4th set, he came through in the tiebreaker (9-7, I believe). I have a sinking feeling that Novak is going to announce his presence with authority tonight and for the rest of this tournament. 😣🤢🤮

May 31, 20223 yr 12 minutes ago, Mo Horn said: How is the #3 seed beating the #6 seed a pretty big upset? Because the #6 seed has been the king of clay this season and is #3 in “The Race” (points accumulated this season). Since February, Álcaraz has been far and away the best player on the tour (in part due to Novax not being able to participate in most events).

May 31, 20223 yr In other news, Nadal Djokovic is going to last eight hours. Nadal was rolling over him (up a set and 3-0 double break) and then Djokovic figured it out and Nadal came back to earth. One set a piece now and Nadal up a break in the 3rd. Every game is pretty much a battle.

I get all that, but majors are a different animal, and this is the deepest he's ever gone in one. Just wouldn't call it a big upset.
