At least Krygios is now through to the next round, winning against number 12 seed Medvedev. Fognini won against J. Tsonga as well. Cilic leading Bassco right now. Goffin stunned Wawrinka while Zverev and Berrettini are fighting in out in the first set. Still a long way to go, we will see more seeded players later and looks like there will be more interesting match to see.

Yes it was good to see Krygios make it through to the round of 32 and he should be able to beat Casper Ruud who is his next opponent however with Krygios we just never know what he will do so I'm not confident on him winning. The round of 32 is where all the action starts with the big names playing so its going to be a great 4 days of tennis and to see who wins this tournament heading into the French Open. Can Nadal bounce back after not winning in the previous two tournaments on clay and win the title here?

I wouldn't be surprised if he can't win against Ruud today. Grin

. Nadal will go up against Nardy, so I'm expecting Nadal to steam roll through the next round., and so as Federer vs Sousa. Thiem vs Verdasco will be a good match, Verdasco won against Edmund so I'm sure he will get Thiem a tough time but I guess Thiem will win.

On the women's side, Serena Williams withdraw from the tournament because of knee injury. She should have face her sister Venus in the next round. She said though that she is expecting the injury to heal by the time the French Open starts. Some upset, Azarenka trying to regain her old form defeated number 5 seed Svitolina.

Krygios looks in fine form beating Medvedev and even playing some trick shots along the way. Now I'm still not confident in him making the semi finals however hopefully he starts to play some good tennis which he can then take into the French Open. Zverev losing to Matteo Berrettini was a big upset so far this tournament, I'm not sure if something is wrong with Zverev because he just hasn't looked like playing at his top form.

Only thing I hate about tennis are this damned rain delays. I put a beautiful accumulator today with selection of tennis games from Rome. Of course, not a single match was played due to rain delay. Ah, well tomorrow should be a better weather with just occasional shower.

Looks like Chardy beat gasquet because my bet parlay won from the rain delay they had the night before.
Rome should be an interesting matchup since it is still early in the tournament and their have been some major upsets already.
Still waiting for the french open to make some good bets on the favorites to win in roland garros.

Looks like fognini is continuing to roll on in rome where he is looking like in top form against tsonga.
He should win this tournament in his home country with his italian supporters for sure. Grin

Fognini is playing some of his best tennis in the last couple of weeks and this is the perfect occasion for him to continue his run because he is playing on home soil,in Rome. He looked good today against Tsonga and it seems like he shouldn't have any problems winning this tournament as there aren't many top players that could stop him from doing that.

There are top players playing but they start in the later rounds, Djokovic, Thiem, Zverev and Tsitsipas are all there so it won't be that easy for Fognini to win this tournament. I'm interested to see how Tsitsipas bounces back after he was dominated by Djokovic in the Madrid final.

Yes I completely agree with you there. The tournament just started today and runs until the 19th I believe so these are the early rounds. He won solidly within just two sets and he cruised to a win very easily against jo-wilfred but as you mentioned will not be once the top players come in for the following days.
Looks as if the last match of the day was suspended for Chardy against gasquet but do not know why they stopped the match. If it was due to rain or if it ran to late which they usually resume the next day.

Tsitsipas didn't really offer much in this final against Djokovic as he was dominated and didn't really stand a chance. Wins on first serves let Tsitsipas down and is something he needs to work on if he is to challenge the top players like Djokovic and Nadal. Djokovic is now equal with Nadal on 33 ATP Masters 1000 titles which is an amazing effort. Djokovic had not won a title since winning the Australian Open earlier this year but now looks in fine form heading into the French Open which starts in 2 weeks.

I thought this kid will offer something different this time, he was a giant killer as well, but as we have said time and time again, this young prospects really succumb to this kind of tournament. Nothing to take away from Djokovic though, he's been playing lackluster performance in the beginning of the year. But winning this tournaments makes him dangerous again. He is that kind of player wherein he will be in the zone after a big win, just like last year. So he will be one of the favorites in this years French Open and I wouldn't be surprised if he win.

You gotta admire Tsitsipas for getting this far especially because he only 20 years old. This kid is a real talent and I'm pretty sure in maximum 5 years or so he will become world number 1 because Federer and Nadal will probably be gone by then and Djokovick will get to old of this. He is already in top 10,probably next week he will move to number 7 worldwide and that's really impressive. Anyway he didn't had much chances against Djokovick even if he would have played at his best level because it would have been a mental battle here.

So it will be Stefanos Tsitsipas V Novak Djokovic in the Madrid final after Tsitsipas beasts Nadal in three sets and Djokovic winning in straight sets. Both matches were top class so I'm expecting the same in the final. Its good to see Djokovic find some form at the right time and if he does win the Madrid Open then he must be favourite to win the French Open as Nadal hasn't been in good form recently.

I can't say Nadal was really at his top form but he dint lost that match because he didn't played well. Actually Tsitsipas played some great tennis and was able to take the points in the important moments of the game. It should be an interesting match tomorrow, Djokovic is obviously the favorite here but so was Nadal today and lost so it will not be that easy for him.

Yes nadal was the favorite and it being in spain he was the national hero to win the title for his country infront of his crowd.
Tsitsipas was very lucky because nadal is still the king of clay but it just hasnt been his year on these courts. Dont know what the problem is because I didnt see any injury which could affect his play.
Stefanos Tsitsipas had 6 to 1 odds to win the match so those who backed him after seeing him put away zverev yesterday were generously rewarded with his win. Cool

Damn , wasn't expecting that. Nadal couldn't get to the finals again Sad

Anyway congrats to Tsitsipas . I was waiting for Djoker v Nadal or Fed v Nadal . Hope Tsitsipas wins the title.

Well this is another break out performance for my boy Tsitsipas. His earlier lost to most top players really serves him well as he improved a lot. So it's now Djokovic vs Tsitsipas for the finals. Yes, I was hoping for Tsitsipas to win the title, but we can't discount the possibility that Djokovic will snatch this one because of his earlier exit on prior tournaments as well. So expect a good match between the two.

The giant run of Bartens continues in the women side as she won over Halep. She denied Halep the number 1 rankings with this win, while she broke to the top 4.

Right , I hope it won't be easy for Djoker though , Tsitsipas should give a tough fight . Yesterday Thiem made many unforced errors and many mistakes which made it a bit easier for Djoker to win easily .

Very interesting match going on right now. After the first set I get some on Thiem because the odds was too good. He just broke Djokers serve , let's see if he can get this second set.

Experience prevailed in the end. It was a good match with Thiem dictating the points and Djokovic returning some nonreturnable shots. In the end Thiem just made too many unforced errors in the wrong parts of the set. If it can be called unforced error when Djokovic returns 5 shots which would be winners against any other player (probably even Nadal) and then you miss the 6th shot.

Just missed the match cause thought they were both in the afternoon just like yesterdays matches but it had an earlier start and nadals match is going to start in a little while.
But from the score djokovic had to win it in tiebreakers for both sets. So it would be interesting to see him in top form against a struggling nadal recovering from his barcelona loss.
