    Didn't see the final, but I can't remember when someone handed Nadal a 6-1 on clay before?
    Still, the rain came to his aid as it occasionally does on the red stuff. Zverev looks like he will win several slams when he steadies up his game a bit.

    Djokovic looked good (read: he seemed to take an interest in proceedings and their outcome) for a set and a bit in the semi, but its impossible to see him being fit to last a full slam in a weeks time, and he will be ranked 20 or thereabouts.

    I know Murray breadsticked Nadal in Rome 2014 and Djokovic did at the French 2015

    Was scrambling during the second set to see was nadal ever bagelled on clay when Zverev took a 5-0 lead. I'd doubted it had ever happened but it seemd it did vs Fed in Hamburg 2007 and in Monte Carlo 05 v Coria I think it was

    Nice to see Zverev came so close to pulling off the Madrid-Rome double. Difficult to get excited about him though when he's continuously flopped at the slams, although surely he's due to turn it around any day soon? He'll be the #2 seed in Paris, so there's no time like the present, but we'll see. I'd like to think Thiem has a shot as well, but he's seemingly learnt nothing about how to schedule properly. I mean, what the fúck is he doing playing in Lyon this week? :rolleyes: Speculating is mostly pointless though, I'm sure it'll be the usual Nadal procession in Paris. I know he didn't win Madrid, but best of 5 is an entirely different manner.

    Seriously impressive for Svitolina to defend her Rome title, now just remains to be seen if she can beat a player of relevance at grand slam level. French Open should be a toss up between Halep, Svitolina, Kvitova, Ostapenko and Muguruza, with Sharapova and Bertens good wildcard shouts too.

    I be surpised if Petra did much at the french her worst slam and her slam record overall been dire over last few years.
    I'd agree the other girls have a chance of winning this, but I'l also single out Mertens, Garcia and Kontavelt as dark horses also.

    Pliskova I don't rate her clay game but she did get to the semi last year so can play here for sure.

    Ticketmaster USA is the biggest crock of sh1te. Trying to buy US Open tickets and when I select "Ireland" as my country for my billing address, a drop down menu for "state" appears. There are no options available on this drop down, so there is nothing I can select, yet it won't let me purchase tickets without selecting a non-existant state. To make matters worse, if you pick any other country out of the 180+ nations you can select, this "state" thing doesn't appear. If I was British, French or Guatemalan, I'd have my tickets by now! What a load of crap! :mad:

    I was in the same boat!! Ridiculously frustrating!!! 2 hours before I got my ticket. Had a great spot picked, went to pay then "There are problems with your submission." Didn't tell me what the problem was though! Steam was coming outta my ears at this stage. Looking at Ticketmaster US's customer service Twitter and it seems lots of people had issues. Buying tickets for the US has been much more stressful than Wimbledon.

    I ended up selecting Great Britain and putting down a friend's postcode. I really wanted tickets.:o

    Lots of tickets are for resale....and at least $30+ above value.

    If I pick Great Britain as my billing address will that not cause problems with the bank as my credit card won’t match up with that address?

    You know what, I’ve just gone and done the same!

    Ashe on Tuesday night, round 1, and Ashe day ticket for Thursday round 2, though we may just use this one as a ground pass with Ashe being a safety net in case of rain or if Federer is on.

    What did you get?

    I got Ashe Thursday day session as well. Might get a ground pass for another day.

    Sent Ticketmaster an email just to cover my arse. Hopefully there'll be no issue. I tried to add a second card to see if it saves.....nada! Got the same "there are problems with your submission" crap.:mad:

    What’s the value of a ground pass really? If an Ashe day ticket is the same sort of price, just get that, as it provides rain assurance, and has all the benefits of a ground pass.

    Do all the Grand Slams do the same as the French were they sell tickets for each of the semi finals?  I know in some they sell day tickets and Evening tickets which is fair enough but at the French the 2 Men's Semi Finals are during the day and they sell the tickets separately. I know for the ATP in Rome they sell a day and Evening ticket, I was there for the Semi finals a couple of years ago on a day ticket and got 2 Women's semi Finals and 1 one of the Men's Semi.   I think Wimbledon just sell the ticket for the day and have some sort of re-sell on the tickets when people leave.

    I don’t think the other slams do that. I didn’t realize RG did that. What a rip off if so.

    Title number 98 for Roger. Written in the stars he'll take 100 at Wimbledon?

    Just can't see him being beaten. His serve is just such a weapon on grass that even if he doesn't play great overall he can still fall back on that unlike the rest of the big 4

    Murray playing Queens. Hard to know what state he'll be in for the grass season but nice to have him back.

    Tough opener for Murray at Queens, Kyrgios. Suppose he will need to get use to this with his ranking outside the top 100.

    I can see Murray just playing his way back for the rest of this year looking to get ready for next year.

    Yeah, I hope he's not rushing back just to play in home tournaments

    But it'll be an ideal way to ease his way back in

    I doubt Murray would come back unless he really thought he could win majors again, so it will be very interesting to see can he return to the top table

    Murray will always believe he can win majors. Even past when he can I reckon. It is simply part of these guys DNA.

    I reckon he is close to fitness this time though but if he will return to full strength is a different question. I hope so for the game.

    The line up for Queens looks good with Murray, Kyrgios, Djokovic, Wawrinka, Raonic and Cilic all playing.  Wawrinka plays Norrie this afternoon it will be interesting to see how that goes.   Be interesting to see what stage Wawrinka is at in terms of fitness

    I've always had Murray down as one of the more philosophical players, and with a year out behind him and now in his 30s, he'll surely have a fair idea about what more he can actually give

    Didn't he push Wimbledon against advice last year? Even then he was talking about the US Open.

    Don't get me wrong it is not a bad trait. I am not sure it is possible to get to that level without it but it has drawbacks. If his team can control that tendency then it will work out. He may have even learned his lesson.

    I think that, out of the Big 4, Murray may have the most difficulty with his comeback. I know he came back from back surgery in 2013, but he is 30 now and invested so much in 2016 to finally get to No.1, I'm just not sure he can do that all over again.

    Murray said he's not 100% on playing Wimbledon but it's probably a throw-away comment - I'd be surprised if he pulled out. Well capable of going a few rounds and most importantly getting some Grand Slam play under his belt

    I actually think Novak is one to watch at Wimbledon. It still took a guy playing at 110% to beat him in the French quarters. He improved as the clay season went on. He's getting a bit of confidence back, which could make him very formidable. There ain't that many threats threats on grass out there outside Roger - a player he beat in their last 2 Wimbledon encounters

    Agree 100%. I've a few quid on Djokovic at 7/1 to win SW19. I watched him closely over the clay season and he came on leaps and bounds from IW/Miami (which was a low starting point tbf). I think he is still struggling with consistency, and the FO proved that to us. Lets be honest, he wouldn't have lost that QF 2 years ago! But the fight, hunger, and determination is definitely there, if he can have a good run at Queens (big test today vs. Dimitrov), he will be in a good place going to Wimbledon.

    Not often we see Djokovic and Federer losing on the same day. I'll take it :cool:

    Bold prediction that we can all laugh at later: Kvitova and Rybarikova will have a rematch in the Wimbledon final.

    Also, shocked to see Thiem has actually taken a week off this week :eek: There's a precious 250 points that could've been vultured in Turkey you know!

    Djokovic will be delighted with that surely

    Match points against the 2nd best grass courter. Playing a lot better now, although I think Best of 5 is still a step too far for him for the moment

    Fed hasn't been near his 2017 level this year. He'll still take beating but hardly a certainty. Could be a very interesting fortnight. Think Cilic might just win his 2nd slam

    Are the seedings already announced? Was wondering if Serena will be seeded. Kvitova is gone a bit short for me to be really interested. Looking at Ka Pliskova at the moment though she's not an obvious type for this surface, looks as wide open as any other womens slam at the moment.

    don't think he is fit enough to stick it out, he was puffed at the end of that final (as he was when losing in the FO) and he looks even thinner than he used to be. Veganism is a perfectly nobel pursuit but I'm not sure I know of any elite athlete's who are pure vegans.

    A lot will depend on the draw of course, the first few days are a minefield on the grass when it is actually grass, and he will be 12ish in the seedings.

    "I have heard that all the girls play at the international tournament in Bucharest, it is very nice for Romania. I do not know for sure if I will participate, but mostly not because it's on the grass and it's hard enough" Halep explained, according to Agerpres.

    She mentioned that she was trying to get used to the turf on the next grass as soon as possible. "Every year is the same, I'm trying to get there early and get the best out of Wimbledon," added the number one player in the WTA rankings.


    A very crude translation it has to be said, but suggests it's surface related in some way and nothing to do with fatigue or injury.

    Before the Summer hard court season begins, anyone wanna try predicting the US Open champs, just for fun?

    For the ATP it's difficult to see anyone outside of the big 3. Federer isn't playing as well as last year, so for me it'll probably be a toss up between Djokovic or Nadal. Djokovic seems to have his mojo or whatever back, so if it was a Djokovic/Nadal final my money would be on Djokovic. Del Potro is a wildcard pick, but he's lost to Nadal at three of the last four slams. Not even gonna bother making a case for Thiem/Zverev/Kyrgios etc, they flop too often for consideration.

    Whilst RG has the reputation for being the random WTA slam, I've often felt it's the US Open that throws up more random champions when Serena doesn't win i.e Stosur, Pennetta, Stephens etc. Halep, Kerber and Wozniacki should be in the mix here, also worth noting that this has been Kvitova's strongest slam for the last three years, and was within two points of the SF's last year. I'd like Azarenka to be in the mix, but who knows what the story will be with her travelling situation this Summer, plus she didn't have any noteworthy results the last couple of months even when she has been able to travel. Muguruza has never made it past the 4th round here, but was unfortunate enough to meet peak Petra last year. This is also Pliskova's strongest slam and she's due a run. Of course I haven't mentioned Serena yet. Even when clearly not at her best she made the Wimbledon final, and I wouldn't be surprised to see her do the same here, but it still feels like it may be a little too soon to win #24, I think Melbourne might be the more realistic target still.

    All things considered, I'll go for Djokovic and Halep.

    Yeah looking forward to the US Open series, am always a big fan of the Autumn hardcourt season - in the main decent times to watch matches and I love that time of the year overall

    I don't think federer will win any more slams, he's 37 in a week or two, and it was quite telling when he pretty much tailored his year again around the grass season but played so poorly compared to last year. I don't expect him to then just go and rock up and win in New York. In any case he hasn't won here in what ten years? I could actually see an earlyish exit draw depending

    I'm still cautious about declaring Djokovic back to his best for the moment. he was tremendous in the Wimbledon semi and final, but a nice early draw let him play himself into form, at the US he'll have to start all over again. I don't think we'll ever see Djokovic reach the levels of before on a consistent basis.

    I'd have Nadal as the favourite myself, I think he's playing consistently better this year, the Ashe court suits him and he's won here a few times. he appears to be playing injury free also. He's probably got the least uncertainty around him - for me

    Delpo, raonic, Nishikori have too much of an injury cloud around them at all times, and along with cilic I'm not convinced they'll beat top guys back to back. All 4 are as likely to exit early as reach the final

    I think we'll get a surprise run from someone here, maybe even a new slam finalist? Think the venue/courts may suit guys like Edmund, Shapovalov, Coric and they could be in contention to have a deep run

    Always a tough slam to predict outsiders as a lot of players are burnt out/injured

    Can only see Nadal winning the US, nothing has changed since last year, yeah Djokovic is "back" ... but how back is he ?

    New guys will do nothing .... as usual.
