I am really shocked that Svitolina lost in straight sets to Podoroska. You do not expect the #3 player to lose in straight sets to the player ranked #131, but that is what happened.
I knew THIEM would not survive playing à ce rythme.....another 5 sets today in more than again 5 hours.....just too demanding....so SCHWARTZMAN will play NADAL in semis....will b an easy one for RAFA waiting for the big one vs DJOKO.
KENIN and KVITOVA are on tomorrow.....both should do it.
Yes...i was on target....KVITOVA in 2 sets and KENIN in 3 and the last 6-0 ...they will play in semi tomorrow......tough choice ..i like both....i think KVITOVA will win....it seems to b her moment-momentum.
TSITSI---RUBLEV are playing..it looks good for TSITSI.....7-5 and leads 4-2 in the second.....fun to watch....
Just watched KENIN--KVITOVA...for me it was la vraie finale...2 players at the top of their game.....young KENIN was formidable....she will play Saturday teen SWIETEK ..la surprise de ce tournoi.....KENIN will partipate at her second Grand Slam final in 2020...she won the AUSTRALIAN OPEN....vraiment impressionnante.....une bombe d'énergie.
Kenin has quickly become the best American tennis player, with Serena Williams fading and Coco Gauff still a few years away from being #1 in the world.
I hope it will b his 13th ... he would equal FEDERER with 20 Grand Slams so great..... will have Sunday #1 vs #2......the best vs the best....they will put on a big show....incredible moment of tennis.....the KING of clay will do it.
If Nadal wins his 13th French Open that could be a record that will never be broken......like Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak in 1941 which nobody has come close to.......or UConn men's basketball team shooting 88% on Free Throws (101 for 115) for the entire 2014 NCAA tournament, or Gretzky 92 goals and 212 points in a season. These records will be exceedingly hard to break!
HISTORIC WIN...first tennis player ever from Pologne to win a Grand Slam.....so congrats to SWIETEK--19 th years old---- for her faboulus--dream --perfect tournament BUT not the game--result i was expecting.....KENIN malheureusement was struggling with injury...IGA
was dominant.......we will see more from SOFIA in years to come....sure value.......and IGA???........don't know..it was her MOMENT BUT she really played those 2 weeks like a true CHAMP.
Can"t wait for tomorrow...we should have a much better--competitive spectacle .
Nadal in straight sets to win his 13th French Open. Domination- he is 100-2 at the French Open, including 26-0 in semifinals and finals matches. Hard to top these stats.
Now tied with Federer 20-20 in majors, while Djoker remains stuck on 17.
BRAVO RAFA....what a great CHAMP...in 3 sets vs #1....his 13th win at RGARROS...wow unique player à remporter autant de titres d'un même major ..... equalling FEDERER with 20 major tiltles....et sûrement more to come.
It has been a great 2 weeks....thanks to all players pour nous avoir bien diverti en ces temps difficlies et moroses.
I believe Nadal will win at least a couple more majors and Federer will not, and therefore Nadal will overtake Federer. I think Nadal would have overtaken Federer sooner but he has had more injury issues in his career than Federer has.
Surprise at St.Petersburg.....seeded 1 MEEDVEDEV--the fav.of the crowd---is out in 3 sets defeated by American OPELKA ...the giant played a heck of a game....very impressive....
But consolation for Russia RUBLEV is still on and will play in quarters...same for our guys.....SHAPO-fav also.of the crowd --seeded 2----will play tomorrow WAWRINKA and MILOS will play KHACHANOV....interesting perspective....and nice to see some of the best young players at work.
Opelka comes from the prescription opiod addiction capital of the world: Delray Beach, FL. The city is filled with "pain management" clinics that assist in feeding some of these addictions quasi-legally.
WOW....we will have 2 Canadiens in semis . SHAPO will play RUBLEV....long time i was waiting for this fight between those 2 kids......should b a great one......and MILOS will play CORIC.....will we have a CANADIAN final?..i really hope so ......RUBLEV pourrait gâcher la fête.
