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.
