That partisanship should make for quite a spectacle when Gasquet plays Korda this evening. I'd normally have tipped Korda but, in Paris, Gasquet will have an extra boost. Also this afternoon, two Spaniards meet. Alcaraz v Ramos-Villas. ARV has experience and is no slouch on clay; I'll try to tune in for that.

I P Knightley Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 ShitsHisPants being made to work for it in the second round as well. A tight tie-break in the second set here which he only squeaked through 10-8. He's lucky he's in the half of the draw that he's in. A couple more 'should be' easy meat oppo waiting for him before it gets serious. By then, he might have shaken off whatever blues he's had thus far. Wee D4nny Evans is soldiering away. Lokks like he's about to go 2-1 down in sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Simona Halep pumpded oot yesterday, sacrificing a strong lead and losing 11 out of 12 games in sets 2 and 3. Now, I know that in the past she's had her knockers (OY, OY!! There it is!!) but she had an on-court panic attack which is a concern. I'm not entirely sure what injury caused her to drop down the rankings but not nice to hear that in the middle of a match where she's going well, something can flip inside her head and cause this kind of collapse to happen. Hope she can get over it; she's a great player who deserves to be challenging at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely bit of business there, Mr K Must be a slight concern in the womens game that Osaka is struggling mentally, Halep also having issues of that nature and Barty has simply walked away from it.

However I do think the ATP were right to do something. Medvedev is never absolutely convincing. He doesn't have the aura of Djoko/Nadal/Federer as being a player who'll dominate tennis. Also remember that he's working his way back from (I think) a hernia operation; I wouldn't have put too much money on him. Holger Rune, who knocked out Shitshispants, is another with great potential. I believe that he and Carlos Alcaraz have crossed swords throughout their junior careers and there is much respect between the two of them. That said, I think Rune's victory over Shitsi is a bigger surprise than Cilic pumpding oot Medvedev. But then you hear Shitsi saying stuff like "all these youngsters are gunning for me" and you think that, perhaps, he's a little complacent, believing that he's a target. Two huge matches this afternoon. I think Djoko will get past Nadal but really can't call the other one. Zverev's paying well and with focus but I suspect the whole crowd will be behind Carlito.
