Djokovic won the Australian Open in January but Dominic Thiem stopped him in the semi-finals of Roland Garros from trying to win another Nole-slam, who then promptly lost to Nadal in the finals. Roger lost to Nadal in the semis and they're slated for another semifinal matchup here. Nadal complained about being seeded 3 behind Federer but it doesn't matter bc even if he was 2, Federer would be 3 and they would be on the same half. Current slam totals: Federer 20, Nadal 18, Djokovic 15, Murray 3 (loool) Speaking of Andy Murray, he will be playing doubles. On the women's side, Ashleigh Barty is now ranked #1 but she's had some injuries since winning Roland Garros so I guess Naomi Osaka or Serena will win but hopefully not Serena.

Rough first round draw for Djokovic with Kohlschreiber, a guy who beat him earlier this year.

Listening to the commentators wring their hands over Kyrgios is simultaneously a highlight and a lowlight. Just let him do his thing, you don't have to ![]()

Kyrgios is very much not a fan of either Nadal or Djokovic and has recently made that very clear, which has contributed a degree of hype to today's match, which probably means it'll be a dud and Nadal will roll over him in three. But hopefully not!

The spread was -5 for Nadal and I was tempted to pick Kyrgios, but Nick played a 5 setter last round and Rafa is going to be prepared this time.

I kinda hope Nick throws in an underarm serve already in his opening service game. I feel like it's going to happen.

They’re not making enough fun of Nadal’s silly watch, I’d say. Half a million pound for that ugly thing. The mind boggles.

Could have bought more expensive PEDs instead. The ones that don’t turn your ligaments into a piece of fiction and make you go bald.

quote:Play had to be stopped during the match between Benoît Paire and Jiri Vesely when a cork flew out of a bottle of bubbly and knocked a punter’s sunglasses off. “Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy your champagne but please don’t open it on the court,” the umpire Gianluca Moscarella sighed.

Pella vs Raonic got really good at the end. I doubt he'll make it through the next round and he'll get smeared by Djokovic if he does, but there was some excellent tennis towards the end there.
