Wawrinka v Murray - Old rivals! Stan is slight favourite at 1.68. Given Murrays fighting spirit and
how all his matches see to be quite prolonged this could very well be a 5 setter!, both players are
probably at the same level currently.

That was all too easy for Stan the Man. Three easy sets.

Watching Rafa v Zverev now. What a feast for our eyes! It's truly a privilege to watch Rafa play at RG one more time. Quality tennis from both players but Sascha has been more solid so far: 5:3.

It will be interesting to see how far Stan gets, he plays Kotov next, which wont be
an easy match, at least Stan has the benefit of experience and 5 sets.

So Rafa bows out at the hands of Zverev who managed to come from behind in the
second set to win by tie break. It looks like the old timers time is coming to a halt,
Murray, Theim, Rafa, Stan and Gasquet not as effective as they once were.

Zverev has to be one of the favourites for the title!

You forgot to mention Djokovic. Things do not look bright for him as well.

Btw, Rafa mentioned in his post-match interview he isn't 100% sure this was the last RG for him, leaving fans some hope. Novak, Carlitos and other stars who attended the match were probably a bit disappointed, they surely were hoping to hear Rafa announce his retirement but his story goes on.

And I agree: Zverev looks great and can potentially raise the Musketeers' Cup above his head this year. Other players to watch out for: Sinner, Alcaraz, Tsitsipas, Medvedev, Rublev.

Djokovic lost to Thomas Machac at the Geneva Open, he still hasn't shown his best performance but his competitors at the French Open still have to be wary of him possibly bouncing back in this GS, especially since he hasn't won a single title and there are 2000 points he has to defend to remain number one in the world.


Yea I watched that match yesterday, Djokovic wasnt himself, he had the doctor on court
just before the second set. Visibly his hands were shaking.

He is definitely beatable guys, the other top seeds will be aware of what happened yesterday
and know that it could happen again to him at RG.

The second semi final between Coboli and Ruud was suspended yesterday and plays
this morning....and then the final is also played later this evening. Machac has an advantage
now having rested for about 24 hours.

I cant see what odds are on offer yet, dont know what way this match could go, could be a
short 2 setter, could be drawn out over 3 sets too?

Fantastic first round at the French Open tomorrow
Zverev vs Nadal might be expected to be the best first match at this GS, but I don't see Nadal being able to play up to 5 sets, and also Zverev who is in his best form after winning the Italian Masters looks difficult for Nadal to beat in 3 straight sets, but we can still expect world class play in this match and my prediction is that Zverev wins 3-0 or 3-1.

Djokovic lost to Thomas Machac at the Geneva Open, he still hasn't shown his best performance but his competitors at the French Open still have to be wary of him possibly bouncing back in this GS, especially since he hasn't won a single title and there are 2000 points he has to defend to remain number one in the world.

Sinner and Alcaraz are certain to play so the competition will be very tight to become the French Open champion this time.

He is playing Griekspoor in his semi final and its looking like a 2 setter ATM,
Djokovic has a double break in the second set.



Get your Popcorn and drinks ready for the first round of RG!

Two very appetising matches are scheduled

Zverev v Nadal - this pairing on clay has always turned out to be fantastic matches, Zverev has
to be favourite. Odds are listed at Zverev 1.25 v 3.90 Nadal. If Nadal is fit could he go 5 sets
with Zverev I wonder?

Wawrinka v Murray - Old rivals! Stan is slight favourite at 1.68. Given Murrays fighting spirit and
how all his matches see to be quite prolonged this could very well be a 5 setter!, both players are
probably at the same level currently.

Djokovic is into the quarterfinals of the Geneva Open tournament in Switzerland.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/may/22/novak-djokovic-enjoys-milestone-win-in-geneva-ahead-of-french-open-defence

Didn't know he was recovering from an injury of when he was signing autographs two days before his loss to Tabilo in Rome, a metal bottle from a fan's backpack fell on his head. Lips sealed

Nice cake there Novak the old man turned 37 and still played on his birthday!

It was a surprise for me that Novak Djokovich decided to play on geneva when the real action is about to begin in Paris. Maybe he wanted to have some actions in his birthday. He had not played the Geneva Open last season or ever. This is the first time Novak Djokovich is participating in Geneva open and is most certainly winning it. He might be widening his opportunities and increasing titles in his bag as he nears the end of his career. The geneva open is a clay court tournament, a lot similar to French Open which he's defending.

Nah, this is purely a training and conditioning excersize before the real action at RG, if he wins
the tournament at Geneva it will be a bonus, it is after all only a 250 event. His main
goals are to both win another grand slam and to continue his hold on the Number 1 spot on
the ATP rankings. He knows he is under pressure now from Sinner who lets face it is an
unknown coming into the tournament as regards match fitness and injury free.

Winning the grand slam rewards 2000 points to the winner!

That is fantastic news, I read it on the RG website also that Alcaraz has landed too!

https://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/article/alcaraz-and-sinner-join-all-star-cast-in-practice-roland-garros-2024-may-22

We dont know what type of form they are in yet while Djokovic yesterday on his birthday
overcame Hanfman 6-3, 6-3 in the Round of 16 at the Geneva Open. He plays Shapovalov
or Griekspoor.

Ruud seeded 2 has to play Baez next and seems to have found some good form before RG.

I dont see other players in action this week like Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas or Rublev.

Sinner will be present at Paris for Roland Garros!
As I have highlighted some posts ago, this can be the chance to achieve the place 1st in ATP Ranking...
Djokovic would be fit for that tournament in Paris or tired due ATP 250 in Geneva?
Roll Eyes Some odds for final Winner... Djokovic @3.70 Alcaraz @2.70 Sinner @4.8 Zverev/Tsitsipas @8 Nadal @11 ( Shocked )

Anyone fancy Jarry today against Zverev? He is big enough odds 3.30. I think he should
at least be able to take a set off Zverev so maybe an over rather than under.
Their H2H is 4:2 in favor of Zverev but both wins from Jarry came on clay and here it is 2:2. So one set for Jarry could be a good bet but I am a bit worried since Zverev served exceptionally well this tournament. Did not lose a service game before Tabilo. I think I am skipping this one. My money goes to PL this afternoon  Grin

I skipped it too Trofo, Zverev's serving has been fantastic and look at the match serve
stats for him today after winning the final....



With a service game like that its really difficult to break Zverev. It was a 2 set affair today.



A week away now from RG and I dont see Sinner or Alcaraz or Nadal playing
this week, I cant see any info about these.

Djokovic is playing Geneva to get some game time in, his main rivals here are Fritz
and Ruud. What to think if he doesnt with this tournament?

Iga Swiatek vs Aryna Sabalenka is in the Rome final, not really sure Sabalenka will be able to avenge her loss at the Madrid Open to Swiatek because it was reported that she was injured and also not very fit, that's why Sabalenka had a longer match to get to the final compared to Swiatek who didn't lose one even sets to get to the final, but it's still possible this will be a three-set match.

Damn - I wish I had known that before the match and before my 20.5 over bet. I really
thought this would be another close affair like Madrid.

Swiatek is really going well, eventhough she loses some lower tournaments she seems
to win more of the bigger ones and she is leading Sabalenka in the rankings and
leading by over 3500 points.

We are having the replay of Madrid open exactly on Rome open for women's title. It's not even a month ago when these two played in finals for the title of Madrid Open. WTA number 1, Iga Swiatek is playing with number 2, Aryna Sabalenka. And the result is likely to be the same, a win for Swiatek. Iga Swiatek had been the dominant player on women tennis but failed to win the three grand slams last year, winning only French Open. Aryna Sabalenka successfully defended her Australian Open title this year. These matches could be a boost for Iga Swiatek before she enters to defend the French open title within next two weeks.

@rdbase Jarry Is strong with this field.
This Is not the best surface for Tsitsipas. I have seen him play two times here in Rome during last years and he plays a "clever and funny tennis".
Tournament of 2024 has not big names playing Nmore, I am not surprised to see a "specialist" now on stage.
Last year there was a similar outcom with Sinner that Lost vs Cerundolo.

Yes Sinner... This guy can reach top 1 position in ATP After Roland Garros and this Is not hard to achieve...

Novak Djokovic will play at the Geneva Open and in the second round, if we look at the draw, maybe we will see him compete against Andy Murray, who in the first round will face Yannick Hanfmann, and the last time they met was in 2017 in Doha, of course this will still be interesting to watch if it really happens even though both are at a different stage compared to a few years ago.

That was definitely worth a wager for sure based on how well both have been playing...

but...

Its not to be, Tabilo didnt make it even after a massive 6-1 first set win.

Jarry managed to beat Paul in a fantastic 3 set match, I watched it all and IMO he will
give Zverev a great match on Sunday. I dont see the odds yet but I guess Zverev will be
favourite and I would imagine the final will be a three set affair so I think I would like to
do an over bet on this - IDK

Swiatek v Sabalenka - here we go again, a Madrid Open final replay between these two!

Both are in top form and its going to be another close one and hard to pick a winner.
Over 20.5 @ 1.87 is my pick.



Jarry yesterday beat Tsitsipas in 3 sets, I watched the first set and I didnt think he would
make it but he turned the match around. Thats 2 Chileans in the semi finals. I wonder what
odds you would get for the two to reach the final?
Couldn't believe that Stefanos Tsitsipas is out and it was another one of the top ranked tennis players getting knocked out by somebody such as Nicolás Jarry, who nobody gave a chance to reach the semis.
If Tabilo wins against Zverev which is in a couple of hours from now. As Alejandro has been playing amazing tennis.
This would shock the ATP tour and question about an all Chile showdown in Rome.

I made a small bet on an all-Chilean final just for fun today. That would be fun. Jarry looked great yesterday. I'm more worried about Tabilo as Zverev has much more experience in later tournament stages.
