There is more potential for tomorrow than for today, but still a high chance of boring matches.

I say Rafa/Zverev will be good. And Ruud/Cilic can be very good, as they have opposing styles.
I am taking Rafa by a hair, and Cilic. His power will get him over Ruud, who plays too far back.

Ruud/Cilic might be good, I just can't make myself care. I'd rather Ruud make the final but I'm not that interested. Been kinda a bummer tournament fo me, just not much excitement.

yes, generally the tournament is over, so far as I am concerned.. Zverev may push Nadal if he serves as well as he did against Alcaraz.. the serve has been suprisingly importiant in this RG, maybe the court is a bit faster than usual - depends on the weather, I think..

I'm excited about the women's final if it ends up being competitive. But there's a good chance it's very one-sided. And I can't watch it live so the result will probably be spoiled.

I'd watch Zverev-Ruud, going for a first Slam title. I"d probably also watch Rafa a little bit because I do think it's his last tournament.

Uhm, the match (Rafa/Zverev) is actually pretty even, with some quality rallies. Rafa is staying away from Zverev's BH, Zverev from Rafa's FH.
Neither is serving well.

That passing shot Nadal hit at 4-6 in the first-set breaker.... unreal. This set feels pretty important for Sascha. He had four set point from 6-2 in the TB, right?

Edit: Well, that was outrageously good. Made up for the rest of the tournament being so lackluster for me.

Rafa steals the 1st set. Yes, Zverev had 4 SP at 6-2 in the TB. Rafa had had several SP's when Zverev was serving at 4-5.
Not the cleanest of sets from either one, but very entertaining.

It will take an epic effort for Zverev to bounce back. But he's experienced enough to know how he has to think right now.

This is ridiculous. Match time 2:04. Score: 2-2 in the second set.
It can't go on like this much longer, or we end up with a 6 hours match.

Think this favors Zverev? Can Rafa tire?

Nadal is one of the best volleyers in the game! Showing it here...

Has the temperature swung that wildly from what it's been all tournament in Paris or is the heat and humidity strictly a result of the roof being closed?

He is not looking fresh. And he is the one that is 36. That is 11 years older. It must be a factor.
