French Open 2021

Floppybits

A few days away from the second Slam of the year. I guess for the men's Nadal has to be favourite. Is there anyone that beat him here? As for the ladies for me its wide open with 3 or 4 players that can win. I see Osaka has said she is not doing any press at the French Open for her mental health. I don't see her winning it.

I hope we dont find out in years to come that he wasnt clean.

He’s a professional athlete…

They’re all fit as fiddles. Paid millions to do nothing but practice and play..

The one time ever that Federer is up for Djokovic?!

He's going to do accomplish one of the very toughest feats in sport.

(98.5% winning record heretofore over 5 on the muck)

Amazing to come back after that insane blitz out-of-the-blocks by Nadal which would have broken the spirit of pretty much any other tennis player.

I said Nadal would not win FO 2021!!!

HeidiHeidi

Is Nadal limping a bit since he took the strapping off his ankle?

Enjoy these lads while you can.

They won’t be around forever….

And there’s fook all following them.

Djkovic now odds on favourite to win the French open!

Nadal looks like he is injured.

Some people have even turned it off and are rewatching Pistol Pete Wimby matches instead.

(who wasn't even in one classic final there)

Just 'not up to snuff.

Some quick turnaround there after going 0-2 down.

Good match. Nadal fading though, Djok looks fitter and stronger.

MisterAnarchy

That was a poor game from Nadal.
He looks like he could be cramping up.

Standard has been unreal since the middle of the third.

I wonder will djkovic take a tactical toilet break if he loses this set

Backed Nadal at 7/4 to win tournament there at end of 3rd set.

The third set was well over 1 1/2 hours long. McEnroe won both the 1983 and 1984 Wimbledon finals in less time than that.

Because he had the good sense to play well from the start and not wait until the 3rd to wake up.

What a match.

When you think Nadal is done he comes back fighting.

It was probably not worth the effort to get everybody out anyway. Get the security/cops involved. And we know the French aren't the most compliant.

Yip, Probably easier just to pay the fine.

That was a pure Sampras serve to go 6-4.
