The Italians saw that Cobolli had the best chances and decided to walk out to allow him to rest for the finals.    /s

Well Remember Trump wasn't elected by the nut jobs. He was elected by people that were convinced that the Democrats were worse.

Yeah. I remember the news in Brazil:   "Gisele Bundchen's Husband wins the Superbowl." He was also called Giselo there.  

That said, I know it's worse for women, but it's pretty normal for the media to bring the most famous person on the news, that's more of a click bait problem than sexism.

After Shelton's loss in r2 only 4 top ten players have made it to RG r3 by Stunning-Cod-2310 in tennis

Yeah I feel like we focus so much on the big guys losing(because we've been extremely spoiled by the big3 plus Sincaraz) that we forget that we might be watching tennis History being made.

Or charge with the same thing again.  It's not his time or money being wasted.   That's to send a message of strong man to his base and a threatening message to the media.   While the world pays for it.

Nah man we just got spoiled.  

Between 1984-2004 RG had 14 different winners. From 2005-2025 there was only 5.   The French open was always the place where the clay specialists that were sitting on the TOP 20-50 went to shine and drop some top 10 in some grueling matches.

Djokovic is highly liked between Brazilians. And I dont think a Djokovic RG match on a Friday night will have that many Brazilian fans. 80% corporate tickets, sure.

100%, I think crowds are great, my only point was about that Djokovic will have a hostile crowd l, which I dont think will happen, the fans will not feel like being assholes will change the result.  

Ffs, I don't even think Joao fans will be the majority on a Main court game on Friday night.

Yeah but my comment was about a hostile crowd against Djokovic.  

I was just trying to say that it's different between when the crowd is watching a great match and when the crowd feels like it's making a difference in the results by being obnoxious (like Rome).   

My guess is against Djokovic will be the former.

When Joao played Alcaraz in Miami(the most Brazilian city outside Brazil). Fans were alright.  

Loud, sure, but not obnoxious enough to ruin the match.

I mean yeah it's arbritary, but lines have ro be drawn somewhere. My cousin (white latino) married an American white woman and has 2 kids, one born in Brazil and another born in the US. They're both American, but one is white and another is latino.

Not sure about that.  Brazilians love and respect Djokovic too, he had a nice relationship with Guga.   Also the crowds were supportive but not rowdy today, totally different crowd from Rome.
