Talk About Tennis 2.0

After posting the Day 3 OoP rain has canceled all matches not played on Chatrier.

When I first saw pics of that kit I thought they were a joke. At least he wore the dark background.

This makes me like him a lot more. I should say, makes me notice him first of all.

I could be wrong, but I think this is about the somewhat still new rule. These late dropouts are players that would've previously played their matches in the first round coming with an injury that wasn't healed and then retired in the first match if they couldn't continue, take their big check and go home.

So, while it's a shame that there's so many late changes, I think this is still the rule working as intended and they won't have a handful of players in both draws giving less than full effort.


Rebecca posted to social media that she rolled her ankle a few days ago in practice.

Yes, I would wear that on court

Taylor Fritz


Daria Saville

Ugh! I wish it was a joke. Just no. Snakes and pinup girls? I truly don't care for that brand.

I edited the Day 3 OoP but I'm not going to say there aren't any errors so if you see one don't @ me.

Some of the mens doubles have been postponed because the rain delay has players still playing singles.

One of these women will make the semis, and I just can't see it...

Tomlanjovic - has the experience now...
Gracheva - I know nothing about her or Danilovic, so it will probably be one of them
Bouzkova - has the talent, I guess
Mertens - has made a Slam semi at least, but mediocre year so far. A couple wins in Strasbourg.
Gauff - the serve, can't see it
Van Uytvanck
Haddad Maia
Kanepi - heck, why not? Can she blast her way there?
Azarenka - has had decent results lately, winning some matches and losing to Swiatek and Anisimova...
Petkovic - can we dream?? She thinks she's in good form right now.
Danilovic
Teichmann - best results lately of players in this section
Cirstea - has been in position before and never gets there
Stephens - hers for the taking, but needed 3 sets in R1
Ocosio Serrano - very mediocre year so far
Parry - the surprise of the tournament??

Azarenka was going through some things when I peeked at her match. I was really surprised she won.

Otherwise in a world where Maria Sakkari, with one 250 title, could possibly be #2 as you said about Kanepi why the heck not? Any of them can make it.

He's one of the more ripped players on tour, which can be another reason to notice him.
I have to say that I'm not a huge fan of the kit but I love the fact that he wore it.

Yeah, Kanpei could do it. She has been in a quarter or two, I think. I’d go with her over Azarenka.

Azarenka’s or Coco’s for the taking (maybe Mertens if she’s back in form, but has been dismal since her return.

Gauff did make the QFs here with that serve

I can't see Petko making it.
But please, Dear Universe, make it happen. She deserves a SF in her resume.
