In the next round there are two games that i am interested in and it seems that they will be very competitive, the first one is ruud vs hurkacz and the second one is rublev vs sinner i think they will be close ones and i would bet on more than 3 sets in both of them.

Yes, this two games are going to be closed. Rublev though is the slight favorite against Sinner, but Janik is performing good in this tournament, and maybe this could go max fifth set. So there are going to be very interesting odds, but I might go with the Over in both games. As for the top three seeds, yeah, they can go all to the next rounds without any problems.

Nadal has made quite an impression in this tournament so far. Especially the match against van de Zandschulp he went over it hard. While van de Zandschulp is also simply a top 30 player in the world. For me, Nadal is the favorite to win the tournament, only that young Spaniard could come close. He has recently won a tournament in which he defeated both Nadal and Djokovic. Nadal will have a hard time with that. He is the favorite in this tournament, but he also has so much experience that he knows exactly how to handle certain situations and circumstances.

The top 3 players in the world Djokovic Medvedev and Nadal all made it so easy in the french open so far is that they won in straight sets and just too easy. I think we are also so close to seeing Djokovic Nadal duel again in the french open this year aswell

Tsitsipas as well won in 3 straight sets, and as I have said, hopefully there will be no marathon match for him so that he can rest early.

The road is getting tough though, but I think Nadal can easily win against FAA in 3 sets.

Same as Djokovic against Schwartzman.

Favorite to win the crown is still Djokovic, Alcaraz and then Nadal.

Do you think Felix AA has enough to beat Nadal tomorrow?

Just checking the odds on Rollbit has Nadal clear favourite, 1.14 to
5.8, I know that isnt always accurate but the general sentiment is
Nadal to progress but I would love to see Felix AA progressing through.

I think that normally Nadal should beat FAA on clay. And Nadal has been playing well this week, too. My uncertainty really comes from the fact that Nadal has just returned from injury. It's a big ask to get through round after round of a slam if you're not 100% match fit, and especially if you're managing an injury. He's looked untroubled so far, but he's not really been tested. If he gets into a long attritional match, I don't know.

I won't be betting on this one. I do think Nadal is more likely to win, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he doesn't.
Nadal is winning that, I am sure, but there is no value in taking his win at such small odds. FAA has good enough serve to cover the handicap so maybe that could be a way to go. I could see him take a set to tie break or even take one set but not more than that.

Very interesting match on todays schedule on the mens side,
Rune v Gaston. Gaston had massive crowd support obviously
in his 5 setter match against de Minaur earlier in the week, I didnt
see his 3 set win over Cachin but he is the last French player
remaining after Simon was beaten today by Cilic.

He is underdog for this 1.32 for Rune to 3.5 for Gaston, A bet on
Gaston is very appetising.

I had a bet on Norrie to win today, as we know Khachanov can be unpredictable but
had a good day today.

Norrie played below his usual standard. His big aim was to reach the fourth round of a slam for the first time ever, and once again he's not made it. I wonder if there's a bit of a psychological barrier there now. Will be interesting next time he gets to a slam third round.


Very exciting prospects ahead between Djokovic, Nadal and Alcaraz when they meet
in some combination.

I was chatting with herself this evening whole watching some highlights, Alcaraz has
the potential to leapfrog some established players this year if he continues his development
and performances, that must be frustrating.

Yep, Djokovic should play Nadal in the quarters and Alcaraz in the semis (assuming Alcaraz beats Zverev, which he should do). The biggest obstacle to this happening might be FAA.

And yes Alcaraz is flyng up the rankings. The race is obviously more illustrative of his progress this year, he's third in a group with Nadal and Tsitsipas all on around 3.5k points. Then there's a huge gap to fourth where there's a group on around 2k points, including Medvedev and FAA.

all the easy 3:0 today, except for Isner, that is out 2:3
one is currently not expected, and that is Norrie to be out by Khachanov, currently really close to happen, 0:2 in sets, 2:4 in third set

Alcaraz is on track, with 1:0 in sets, but struggle in second set, could be another longer match for him in the end

Really unexpected loss from John Isner today maybe he was just tired but he cannot lose to such weak ranked players at this high level tournament. Also Norrie playing really bad and is close to getting knocked out. Djokovic and Nadal just destroying their opponents 1 by 1

That Isner vs Miralles has a lot of ups and downs, I still think he can pull it out in the 5th, but as you have said, he ran out of gas in the final set, no legs at all.

I think Djokovic, Nadal, and Alcaraz can go and win on their next matches.

Let's see if Tsitsipas will finally have a match that will not last 4-5 hours as he will go against Ymer.

It seems that nadal and djokovic are both in a high level and i don't think anyone can stop them even alcaraz if they managed to get through their opponents on the 1/8 finals which i think they would they will face each other and in my opinion it will be a war and it will be the closest game in Roland Garos between them.
Yeah, but it will be good if Alcaraz will have to face either one of them in the quarter-finals because that will be a great match.

Norrie is out though, losing in 4 sets against Khachanov.

No problem with the 3 in today's matches, they've won in straight sets. While in the women's side, upsets continue as there are a lot of seeded ladies that have been eliminated.

On the ladies side, Fernandez progresses today and has a very good chance to get quite
far in the draw after beating Bencic today, she meets Anisimova next in round 4.

Well, Čilić actually won quite easily - not what I expected. He is playing against Simon next, here the expected outcome would be an easy win but knowing him - it will probably be a struggle.

Still - I will probably hunt some handicap odds on Čilić if the odds will be tempting. He will want to win quickly - his next opponent would be Medvedev and he'll want to get to that match well rested.
That is great draw for Čilić, especially on clay. Simon is quite bad on clay and it is least favourite surface for Medvedev. This is a nice opportunity for him to get far.

Dimitrov is out, in 3 quite easy sets. Did not see this one coming since he was quite good on clay this season. Loosing only to Tsitsipas.

I watched some of the Sinner v Baena match and he struggles a fair bit, the score
line actually flatters him a bit. Funny about Sinner, he doesnt seem to be progressing
IMO, he is a really solid player but I actually cant see him winning a GS or beating the top
5 or 6 or even getting further up the rankings ATM.

There have been a few upsets but currently all the usual suapects are progressing through
the rounds, Djokovic, Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas, Nadal and Alcaraz.

Nadal might have a tough day in the office against van de Zandschulp and Alcaraz the same
against Korda.

you are probably right I share your point of view about Sinner.
Probably he is lacking maturity and experience, but he has all the credentials to "explode" and play at very high levels even against a top 5.

Yesterday against Baena he dominated the match, apart from a point break in the 4th set, for the rest he seemed to always be in control of the match.

Live Right Now there is an interesting match between Sinner vs Carballes Baena.
First Set was win by the Spanish, but in the second set Sinner has made a break point just now (3-2 current score).
Odds are not the best (I have seen @1.30 in stake.com) but it's always interesting for this match...

Sinner is now on 2:1, but Baena has break in fourth set, we could expect fifth in this setup
Tsitsipas is also losing one set, and leading 2:1, Rublev won 3:1 against Delbonis, will be interesting to see who will reach final from this part

Medvedev won 3:0 against Djere, and showing best tennis so far, but Rublev and Tsitsipas should be favorites against him in eventual matches

Damn it Halep. You ruined everybodies parlays and bets due to an injury in the second set.
She was cruising and looking like a solid win but then that happened and screwed up her chances to win against the 74th seeded player:
https://www.eurosport.com/tennis/roland-garros/2022/i-couldn-t-focus-simona-halep-suffers-panic-attack-in-qinwen-zheng-loss_vid1685688/video.shtml
Looks like she had a panic attack or something that physical therapy could not cure during the match as she didn't take a medical timeout.

Yet another top seed for the women's side out of the tournament from a lower seeded player.
That looks to be the 10th one out of Rolland Garros sent home early.
