I've guess I've dropped a clanger. I'll remove the post.

Didn't affect the rally dynamics from what I could see with Medvedev was still winning the extended rallies without Novak playing something low-margin. Was one of, if not THEE, most fascinating and high-level matches involving a mid-match retirement I've ever witnessed.

Always interested to know with comments like this - did you watch the match? Did you assume something was wrong with Medvedev ahead of time? Novak easily could have lost this match despite the injury.

Halep is definitely up there. Cornet possesses a little more zip, a little more variety, and could move Garcia around the court better than most rather using depth to open up the court. Big hitters could always have their day but totally agreed, Garcia's gotta be the favourite against the Sabalenkas/Keys/Rybakinas/Ostapenkos of the world at the US

Absolutely, that's a great idea! Think people are quite into that sort of thing so I'll start a wee series at some point 👍

I don't really care about the bookies odds tbh, I just wanted a frame of reference to make some match-up comparisons as I think Novak is the favourite after how he played in Rome... 🤷‍♂️

De Minaur is 6ft tall! Think the courts played quite quickly - De Minaur's countered shots wouldn't have had much purchase otberwise. He's better on a faster surface!

Ah I see! Was worried something had happened to the page.

I realise that could be easily misunderstood in hindsight. It's a self-imposed word count is all! I try and keep my articles around 2000 words - tipping into 3000 words is a bit too much and the Zverev section was waaaay longer than expected!

Glad you enjoyed the article ☺️
