French open starting the 21st rooting for tsitsipas.

Alcaraz losing early could be a good thing for him physically.

FO still Novaks to lose for the men, and wide open for the ladies

 

[Piff Huxtable]

every year that stretch between Sunshine Double and Queens/Halle is unwatchable

I'd wish the number of grass and clay tournaments would switch

Rafa's a GOAT for sure but he's donezo and ready for a flat top whether he can admit it or not

other favorites: Rune, Ruud, Novak (off general principle)
dark horse with the right draw: Medvedev. I can see him losing in the 3rd round or making a SF/F run.

Womens:

I'd take out Ruud and add Sinner. Ruud hasn't been very sharp this year, not even on his favored clay. Sinner's really only lost to top players this year, and on his day he can beat anyone (save Novak, perhaps).

Medvedev is in the 2nd tier with Tsitsipas. They can make a semi-final run, but I can't see either winning it all.


As for the women, Iga/Elena/Aryna is the only three I can see winning. I agree with Penko making a deep run, same with Badosa.

Overall I agree

On the women's side I could see Caroline Garcia making a deep run off the strength of the home crowd

Sakkari crashing out in the first

Leylah w/ a big first rd win vs Magda Linette, lets see if she can get back in the championship mix

Djoker and Carlitos in the same side of the draw ... Djoker looking to cement himself as the King of Kings in this tournament, but Carlitos beating him in the esmis would be huge passing the torch/flat top cutting moment

anybody watching Pegula vs Danielle Collins ?

I'm glad the French Open finally started to get my sports fix, since the NBA is almost over
