This one's over. Even had the announcers with the patented "Nadal looks like he's in some discomfort" to play up a non-existent injury. :unimpressed:

even if Rafa gets by Fog, I think someone picks him off.

But then again, we've seen him play himself "into form" cause you know his pigeon Gasquet is awaiting him in the next round. 2007 was last time Gasquet took a SET off Nadal :russ:

Every fukking Slam has Gasquet waiting. I swear they put him in Nadal's bracket on purpose as a natural warm-up match. :snoop:

This field is so ass. After his punching bag, it's midget or Tiafoe; quarters is someone out of Rublev/Norrie/Shap/Rune. Alcaraz (if he makes it), will be his first real test in the semis. Knowing Nadal's luck, Cilic will probably be the one to make it through. :scust:

Where's the next Andy Roddikk, Marat Safin and Lleyton Hewitt when you need them? :mjcry:

@malbaker86 the sad thing is you can clearly see the slip in Nadal's play. He is not the same guy but the Tour is so :trash: it doesn't matter. Same with Djokovic.

If Fed's body can hold up next year and he plays at all the Slams, he'll probably make the semis at two of them as long as he avoids Novak.

It's just gonna be a total free-for-all whenver (if?) these guys retire unless Alcaraz becomes the torch bearer.

I have my eye on Jack Draper now too after the way he destroyed FAA.

i know how usta makes draws but people have gotten in trouble for tinkering

azarenka vs the Ukrainian after recent comments
osaka vs collins who she was undefeated against
venus vs a scrub
keys to meet gauff
serena away from swiatek
nadal lined up with fognini and gasquet
fokina fucsovics
murray cup cake start and with tini who has had limited match play
americans paul and korda with weak ass ruud
brooksby alcaraz
tiafoe easy draw

all have a lot of motives and are very convenient. that said that is really tinfoil and with a draw this big there are bound to be juicy matchups and matchups that are convenient for ratings and profit. on the other hand, if they used the ServeTennis program to create the randomized draw then moved around a player here and there i wouldnt be surprised. L3 L2 L1 junior tournaments are run differently than L4 and below so id imagine the us open, which basically funds the usta, would be subject to changes

one club owner lost all rights to any usta activities after he manipulated a draw to make someone who was supposed to be seeded not seeded and had his daughter on the other half of the draw as the 1 seed while the other player played the 2 seed first round because his daughter had lost a few times to the unseeded player :mjgrin:
