In his post match pressor Zverev said he threw up 37 times. Not sure we needed to know this.
At least he didnt blame the balls and his opponent who only wins by mistakes ( Musetti in Rome)
So the reason he lost this time was because of illness
Zverev said, " I hope I'll get well again quickly"
"Nothing has changed of my goals for Paris. I can still be proud"
"I left everything on the court"

"I left everything on the court"

Did he threw up on court, 37 times? If he did that I'll root for him.

Ha! I have to say I thought the same when I read, "I left it all on the court." Ick.

Anyway, he still couldn't resist an excuse.

I gather from what he was saying he was sick before he took the court,
Zverev said he was throwing up 37 times during the night and had a fever of 39.4 degrees ( celsius), the normal temperature is 37c ( 98.6 F) , all night ,it was actually quite ok".
He also said,
:"If it had been another tournament in another country, then I certainly would not have played".

Rafa Nadal says that Carlos Alcaraz's Netflix Docmementary didnt represent Alcaraz's professionalism well enough.
" Knowing Carlos a little, I think the documentary dosent reflect his personlity or the way he lives his career'.
"He dosent come across as a tennis player who trains, but someone who loves to party, who needs that, and who isnt very professional - and thats not true".
Carlos is a great professional.He's a person who works very hard to take his tennis and his physique to the highest level.I think the documentary was misguied because people's perceptions of him are different from what his real life is like".

I love the precision. Hopefully he pays the same attention to his UFEs count... I honestly think it is easier to keep track of ufes than it is of urghs...

Okay the draw has come out for RG,
Sinner and Djokovic are in the same half of the draw, and Zverev falls in Djokovic quarter
I have done the projected QFs by seedings

Sinner (1) vs Draper (5)
Zverev (3) vs Djokovic (6)
Musetti (8) vs Fritz (4)
Alcaraz (2) vs Ruud (7)

Mrzz,

Fonseca plays Hurkacz in his first round match at RG

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

In some sad news,
Matteo Berrettini has withdrawn from RG,, guy cant take a trick, his abdominal problem not healed.
Hoping he can be fit for the grass, his game really suits

He seems out of breath mid 1st set. Luckily Arnaldi is not playing too well.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hopefully this bodes well for Roland Garros
Rune in a very good practice set against Medvedev he won 6-1

 

[Fiero425]

He seems out of breath mid 1st set. Luckily Arnaldi is not playing too well.

Agreed! I thought his run in Miami had him on his way back, but Novak still looks out of sorts, winded, & unsure! Arnaldi's UFE's saving him!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Roland Garros playing schedule,
Bottom half of the mens singles draw will be scheduled on Sunday and Monday
Top half of the mens singles draw will be scheduled on Monday and Tuesday

 

[don_fabio]

Novak asking guys from his box to tell him where to stand on return. Dude, you have 2 dozen grand slams, I think you have a pretty good idea where to stand.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Arnaldi DF your way after having a break in the 2nd set .....
Scappy match Arnaldi can play much better than he has shown
Old boy who is 38 today out of breath in the 1st set
