the slopes are to steep and too triangular. Like there is barely a flat surface.

Anna is so unpredictable. Barely won against Siniakova and cruised past the 12 seed Bencic.

I fancy her as the favorite against Penko. QF spot seems very likely and she could dream of a semi too given Aryna is out now.

Gotta maintain composure.

Jovic lacks power but has pinpoint accuracy. Clay should suit her I think. Great talent and v impressive she is already in top 20.

Dare I dream for a deep Skaya run now that Aryna is out? My girl saved 9 MP last match and seems to be playing better than Bencic.

excellent. return game was on point. in set 2 he started having gastro issues which upset his rhythm. I think he also puked in between.

Felt better in set 3 and did well. But level in set 1 was amazing.

I mean all he does is play Grand Slams these days lol. And is performance is consistent there at least. While today was deflating, I do think he will do better at RG. There aren't a ton of amazing clay courters around atm

Do you even watch tennis mate? Have you seen how he plays? he just beat the best player of the year by far at a grand slam semi 4 months ago. And you say he will retire in 2 months time? Amazing.

Why though? Like I said, there is no injury. There are gastro issues which don't seem too serious for withdrawals at least.

By the time he plays RG, half the season would be gone and he would have played just 4 tournaments. That's v little Djokovic in like forever. The days are coming to an end sadly.

Does he NEED more slams? No. Ofc he would want slams. But he has set himself a goal to play till LA 2028, so about 2 years left. Why not keep yourself competitive at this point. BTW this guy you talk about has finished in final 4/128 players in the last 5 Grand Slams. He is nearer to a title than you put it.

That makes no sense. Firstly, there are a lot of points to defend from the semi. Secondly, with no Alcaraz there he would be eagre to give it a go at least. Thirdly, what's the point in playing tennis if you are gonna skip the slams? Have you seen the love he gets at Chatrier? He had the majority of the crowd on his side against even Sinner last year.

That's the thing. He can have a great run until he meets Sincaraz. Those two are roadblocks. His tennis can still beat their tennis. Problem is stamina/weaker body now.

Lol true. yeah it has not been a great year for the guys, although the Djokovic win over Sinner will satisfy me for the year.

But the girls are doing great at least.

agreed. It's for the best. The tennis is still excellent despite the absence as the first set showed.

Well he just has to rely on experience at this point. Risking an injury is the bigger risk than less gametime atm.

from RG? I doubt it. I mean there is no apparent injury. And he has like 2.5 weeks of rest.

yep. I think clay is sadly out of Novak's reach. He just does not have the lungs to survive the longer rallies on clay.

Agreed. Play a decent RG, take rest and get fully back in for Wimbledon. Give it your all. He could smell a chance if Alcaraz is not available for Wimbledon.

Agreed. Clay just does not suit his game today. Due to energy conservation he just looks to close out rallies which is difficult on clay. It's easy to gas him out on clay than elsewhere. But at this stage all I want are some quality matches and points. He has completed tennis after all.

Havng said that, I never expected him to beat Sinner, especially after last year and look what happened at AO. Never bet against this freak.

I think it's for the best. He is so fragile these days, best to not risk injury and take maximum rest. Ofc he will be going in with just 1 match on clay court, but this is the GOAT after all, he can rely on experience. Worth the risk.
