ATP M1000 WTA 1000 BNP Paribas Open 3/8 - 3/19 2023

[ashkor87]

on a slow court, Alcaraz should be favorite even if Djokovic plays...Nadal would be, but he isnt playing...I dont think 10 players can win - I can name 3, as usual - Alcaraz, Norrie and Fritz.. one of them should win.

I'd be willing to be that neither of these guys will win even if Djokovic doesn't play.

Oh, I wouldn't bet even a dog-chewed ball on it - it is just an expectation..tier 2 players can never actually be relied on ! And Alcaraz may not be fit anyway...

Except Bencic, who can be relied on .also Pegula, rapidly becoming the benchmark player to define a tier 1 player..if you can beat Pegula, you may be tier 1..if you can't, you are not.

Actually the irony is RG is playing faster than it used to...soon it will be faster than the USO! It is already comparable to Wimbledon..

I don't quite understand this analogy. You are stating that at Roland Garros the courts are playing comparable to the Wimbledon courts? In what way?

They are getting faster, especially on a sunny day...wimbledon, meanwhile is slower and bouncier than it used to be ..

So much for comeback #83 for Genie, huh?

I certainly hope that there is not one tennis fan left on the planet who takes her seriously.

Very fittingly, there is not one mention of tennis in this 'article' (below).
Indeed, she is no longer a tennis player. She has joined the ranks of the Paris Hiltons, Kardashian women, etc., whose only 'talent' seems to be that they are 'famous for being famous'...

And the claim by her sister that Genie and her siblings were estranged is not entirely true - her brother William was with Genie and their mom around some of the Junior tennis tournaments that Genie was playing in - I saw him myself.

USTA officially caping for Novax like he's some life-saving doctor or scientist deserving of an exemption. Embarrassing.

[JTContinental]

Actually you're right... I completely forgot about this week. In that case I upgrade their chances for sure albeit I'd still not bet any money on them winning a big tournament like IW.

Although both of them already have

Those rules are stupid and illogical. And they are going to be cancelled soon - everyone knows this. Basically these rules shall not be applied to anybody, not just Djokovic. The reason he is not allowed to play is that bureaucracy always works slow. The slower - the better.

[ponchi101]

Which is a different subject. Is the rule stupid? Well, we can ask that question. But the rule is in place, and therefore it should be applied, like it was applied to me last time I went to the USA. I needed proof of vaccination to enter.
That is the point in which we have always disagreed. It is not whether the rule should be in place or not; it is whether it should be followed.
If tomorrow the USA decides to allow Novak in, fine. But then, let ANYBODY and EVERYBODY in. Not just him.

[Owendonovan]

Mandate needs to be dropped, barely anyone lives as though there's a bug flying around that might kill you. No one is demanding masks any longer. Everyone has accepted there's a bigger roll of the dice in 2023 to live on earth. Whaddya gonna do?

[Suliso]

I think we all agree that the mandate makes no sense anymore. Maybe a year ago, but not now.

It doesn't mean that Djokovic ought to be treated differently than other visitors, though.
