This is gonna be a weird one with no points & a couple countries kicked out. Play starts early Monday morning, ESPN has all the live coverage across their various platforms. 

 

Men's draw

Novak & Rafa on opposite ends, someone else can chime in on the youngsters. 

 

Women's draw

Iga is the clear favorite, but she has to lose at some point. Kontaveit is a laughable #2. For my random, hope-they-make-a-long-run pick, I'll go with Miss Anisimova. 

Iga hasn't proven herself on grass yet. With Iga vs. the field, I'm taking the field. 

I'll take Novak or Alcaraz to probably face Nadal in the finals, but the mens side is also pretty open.

I think Rafa's hurting more than we know and will have an early exit. Hope I'm wrong but frankly I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last slam he's in.

He’s radiated nothing but positivity off the back of his recent nerve treatment regarding the pain in his foot, so I don’t know how you could draw that conclusion. He looked good in his warmup matches at Hurlingham, too. I’d be surprised if he didn’t play every slam in 2023 (pending a new injury) even with a kid on the way. He does not want to concede the slam race to Novak.

You’re funny!

To be fair juniors success doesn’t always translate.  But yeah I’m comfortable that she is the favorite.  Jabber doesn’t convince me at majors.  I actually think Kvitova is my dark house for this one.  
 

On the men’s side you have to go with Joker or Nadal but Fritz would be fun to have make a run, and Berrettini will go deep.

“To be fair”… 🙄

consider his history:  the surgery last year didn't help-  it was still so bad afterward he thought about retiring.  after the aussie this year he was in pain again and the french open was in doubt.  in paris he was taking anesthetics and painkillers every 6 hours for 2 weeks with multiple injections before every match.  he played on a numb foot the entire tournament and after the last match when he came off the meds he felt so bad he once again thought about retiring.  his last treatment, radiofrequency ablation, has been effective so far and hopefully it lasts.  if it doesn't, the only remaining treatment is rest.  hopefully it works for years and we get a competitive rafa well into his late 30s, but he's been playing with this problem since he turned pro and this is a degenerative condition.   perhaps i'm projecting my own experience onto him, but lifestyle changes usually occur after a flurry of worsening symptoms and failed treatments.

Tauson retired after 5 games, that’s who Stearns would have played. 

Emma won a match. 

Dani up a set on Bouzkova. 

Blown away that Hubie Hurkazc, one of the group in the tier below Novak and then Rafa, is OUT in the first round.

Haddad Maia rolled up in the 3rd by Juvan, she was hot as shit coming in.

Did anybody catch his opponent's failed between the legs shot on an early match point that nearly cost him the match?

Watch out airport bar, Dani’s coming.

Down a set & 1-5, Belinda forces 3 tomorrow.

I did not, but heard the announcers referencing a between the legs shot when up 5-3 and then…

Didnt know if it was Bublik, Kyrgios in the past, Davidovich-Fokina today…

What an idiot. 

Still wish that Hubie had won because he could have been a real contender due to his game.

That was such a boneheaded thing to do. I was hoping he'd lose.

Coco drops the 1st, 6-2

survives 2-6, 6-3, 7-5

I knew Nadal had a foot issue but I just looked up what he had. I used to work in foot & ankle surgery and I'm surprised he's been able to continue playing at this level. Mueller-Weiss syndrome basically causes the navicular bone in the foot to completely degenerate. If not manageable with conservative measures, it requires surgery to fuse it to the neighboring bone, and that requires probably 8-12 weeks 100% non-weightbearing, not to mention the recovery time to get back to running and get conditioning back up anywhere near his level. Suffice to say, if he did end up requiring surgery, I don't see him coming back at this point.

And Berrettini drops out to Covid.  Men’s draw is looking rough…

Putinseva losing to cornet is a shame.

I watched some of Murray and he is a shadow of what he once was.  Amazing that he can play with the artificial hip but he doesn’t have “it” anymore.

I see a little Logan from Westworld in there.

What Serena these days? Two bills?

I think she’s listed at 160 or some shit that no one believes. I have her at 190lb

Stephens loses four straight games and crashes out

Serena loses in the 1st round of a slam for the 3rd time in her career. Getting beat by the world #115 on her best surface has to make her consider finally retiring 

What Serena these days? Two bills?
She's 5'9", maybe as much as an inch taller. I have her around 210.

That Serena match was great. Tan kept playing her game and it worked.

didn't get to see much but the end of the match. 

Tan's game is great. Kind of like a female Santoro. 

Murray may be about to exit...

Isner serving for the match up 2 sets to 1 and leading 5 to 4 in 4th set.

Fritz looking like he’s going to make a run.  His point to win the second set today was unreal.

The women’s matches I’ve seen haven’t been good quality so far.

And Fokina losing the fifth set to a point penalty is lame but those are the rules.

katie boulter made it through over pliskova, that's good.

As the other dude was celebrating what he thought was a winner. That was great.

Two handed slice both sides?

(Edited for "slice" not "slide."  Saw Santoro play at the Erickson in 2002ish.  Quietest player ever.  No noise at all when he hit the ball).

Amanda over Coco in 3.  She kind of choked away the 1st set breaker then dominated the 2nd and 3rd at 2 and 1.

Iga's in trouble. Down a set and a break now to cornet.

First set tiebreaker… only 2 of the 11 points in that tiebreaker were won with the wind. That was a tale of the wind carrying forehands out. 

Double A looked 😋 by the way. 

Iga is absolutely shitting the bed against Cornet. It is like she is playing her first match on a main court… IN HER CAREER!

She is just choking all over the place. Cornet is playing well, but Iga’s mistakes are just shocking. 

Edited by Napoleon

Hell of a streak by Iga but too bad it ended with a whimper.

Anyone know who the interviewer is?

Went down quite the rabbit hole but I found her. Jenny Drummond, she's Scottish.



this kyrigos dude is such a drama queen/douche.  he so wants to be the dennis rodman of tennis..
