They're going to hold onto Novak for as long as possible being the 2nd seed at the bottom of the 2nd Rd. draw! Ya never know if he'll advance!

It has Round of 16 Djokovic to play Fuscovics TBD tomorrow ?
I know he turned up late to the tournament? he could have asked for a extra day I mean he isnt getting any younger
There are 3 matches scheduled tomorrow are still in R32, another 2 are in the round of 16, so he wont play tomorrow the next day going by the playing schedule

why are all these good players featuring in Hamburg? Didn't Dangerous play enough matches the last 5 weeks? I don't understand this need to play right up to RG and then get to big dance and have zero petro in the tank

Agree, it is just 'Brainless', The Dangerous One has had enough time to get his clay legs ready, as for The Excuse Merchant aka Zverev, taking a WC he is just as "Brainless" as well

There are reasons why good players are playing Hamburg and Geneva this week, but there is zero reason for Cerúndolo to. He's played plenty of clay matches, and he's done well. He seems to forget that he has a chance to do well this RG. He's overplaying like a mid-50s ranked player.

Djokovic is playing Geneva because he's stunk up the clay season completely and is hoping to salvage his confidence with a win or two on clay before the French. Likewise, Zverev thinks he can gain some mojo on home turf ahead of the Major. For the rest of them, how many of them really think they'll make the 2nd week? Dangerous is only the real mystery.

We do have a hidden agenda wanting The Dangerous One to play on in Hamburg, he took out the Excuse Merchant in Madrid and has a H2H 3-0 against him,
