French Open 2022

Was it bad?

Kind of. Lucky he was falling onto the twist, as this would take some the impact out of it

**** sake, Henman…obviously obviously obviously!!!!!

What a god send for Nadal. While strongly likely to win not having to grind out an extra hour will be massive for him.

Mats mentioned it was near 3 hours and not into the third set. That surely could've been a new record in the current FO format. That finish is utterly deflating isn't it?

Absolutely., It was an enthralling contest .Great too see respect between players and everyone.When you compare it to that jackass in the UFC

Was it Nadal’s birthday today? Wikipedia has June 3, but never heard mention of it today. I always had July in my mind..

Cowards on Eurosport "issues off the court" eh lads he is accused of domestic abuse , man up and talk about the elephant in the room ffs.

Nadal will likely try to hit Ruud off the court early days and demoralise him.

But Ruud has shown already that he's made a stern stuff and doesn't throw the towel in. He seems very level headed and takes each point/ game on it's merits. He's also relatively young at 23, fit and with lots of stamina. He'll be no pushover.

Unless the hype does get to him, he is quite capable of taking a lot of games off Nadal.

I'm sure Nadal would have greatly preferred Cilic, that'd have been a walkover.

You’ve great hearing , I couldn’t make out what he said.

As an aside, I’m wondering if Nadal and his wife are having difficulty conceiving. Federer and Djokovic didn’t wait until they stopped playing before having kids and the Nadals have all that family support in Majorca. Nadal doesn’t celebrate as ecstatically after winning, as though tennis isn’t the be all and end all anymore.

Is there now a limit on the number of toilet breaks players can take during a match? So I assume Nadal was wondering if he went to the toilet if that would count, even though Zverev was the reason behind the break.
