I reckon she will come back and win.

Halep v Venus will be very interesting.

Tristram

Osaka looking very frustrated out there at the moment. Could be an upset in the making.

Scottish Jodi

Rafa v Berdych and Federer v Tsitsipas have the potential to be cracking matches

Do it ASAP, I got him yesterday at 8.5, don't know what he'll be on now ..
It's money in the bank.

I've only seen bits of Nadal's and Djovoic's matches but of the two, Nadal seemed to be playing better, picking his shots, fewer errors.
And I know very little about tennis.

jr86

generally happens when a younger gun is hyped up against one of the big 3

Nadal et al are still so far ahead of the chasing pack when on form. Baffled me how many were writing him off pre-tournament, injury or not

josip

De Minaur broken already, this won't taken long.
Nadal looking very good.

Well Nadal's won the title once and reached the final another three times, so I think that's a bit of a stretch :pac:

Yeah, every player on tour bar 2 would swap their AO records for his!

Fair play to him! Being a night owl myself watching tennis until 3am is my idea of heaven!

Both sides of the draw are pretty much going to form so far, lots of good matches brewing. Disappointed Sharapova-Wozniacki is on smack bang in the middle of the night, would like to watch it. Osaka-Hsieh could also be a very good match on Saturday.

Can’t remember the last women’s slam with so few early shocks. Should lead to some heavyweight clashes late on for sure. I have a few quid on Barty, thinking she might be on the verge of a breakthrough but will have to beat a lot of top players to win.

But yeah, I don't see it. De Minaur's 19, coming off a title last week and a five setter in his previous match. I can see him taking a set and making it competitive for another one, before Nadal pulls away in a comfortable four-set win.

Yes they surely should have contingency plans to move it to another court once the schedule overruns. Hardly rocket science I would have thought.

The plan was to put them on court 3, but there was lots of seagull poo on that court and not enough ground staff left at the venue to clean it up.

Shockingly badly organized. Just cringe making.

Or even just postpone it until the next day. It's not like they're doing the players any favours, and very few, if any, of the people who bought tickets for the court stayed around to watch. Of the few hundred people who were there, most, if not all, seemed to be grounds pass holders who popped in once they were allowed.

Just watching the highlights, terrific match it was but to start a match after midnight just seems unfair if not actually insane. Thiem didn’t seem to recover from his late finish yesterday or day before, not sure why they feel need to do it.

I dunno man, from what I've seen he looks like he's on fire right now. Swinging very freely.

Duckworth and Ebden though. Both poor poor standard. I fancy Nole or Roger possibly coric to get a great run.

unfortunately yes.
I never never never count out the guy, even when everyone pundits included say he's not at his best (as was the case last week) BANG he just returns with ultra strength vigour and energy.

I honestly think he'll be still winning the French open in 10 years time (at least a contender and getting far in it)

He will dump the rest of the tour in a few years time.

Dunno, Djokovic was awful today v Tsonga, just lucky for him Tsonga was worse.

Wouldn't surprise me if Zverev lost his next match v Bolt - he looked really strong today ..
Zverev is shaping up to be another dissapointment.

Just so easy for Nadal.

I don't see Bolt winning. He's has been around a long time and done nothing.

Could happen of course but I expect Zverev to be better than he was today. Don't see him repeating 13 double faults for one thing.

Allthough Zverev still can't do 5 sets well - thought that Lendl would sort him out with that. Surely just a concentration thing.

Djokovic - Shapovalov could be an interesting match even though Djokovic will be a massive favourite and will most likely win handily enough - hopefully Shapovalov will show some progress.
