2026 Internazionali BNL d'Italia, Rome, Italy - Masters 1000

I disagree he will be 39 shortly and he is not in good physical shape for the clay, he was exposed today and he said he was carrying injuries, at 39 takes longer to get over injuries, especially going cold into the clay, he had a very favorable draw btw? he should at least play a ATP250 clay event like he did last year. I still think he should forget the clay and rest for the grass

We have talk about it before.. unlike most players including Rafa.. Novak and Roger can roll out of bed and find his same rhythm similar to being in the 2nd week of slam. Its really a matter of how the ball feels and how Novak can move. Better to be concern with the welfare of Bear in the forest instead of Novak at RG. IMO

People have to be fk'n idiots if they can't recall last yr., then the Aussie Open this season! Novak's level can show up at anytime w/o practice!

I didn't know you were on Novak's pay roll
We will have to agree to disagree

Don't make me laugh
Novak was given a walkover in the qfs
Musetti was killing him and had to retire
Novak can count himself lucky with his draws

no no.. its just the truth,, how many times has Novak came into a GS with hardly any court time.. I cant be the only one who has seen this movie before.. check the RG odds and I bet Novak is probably had the third best odds regardless of the draw to win it. I doubt he can win the Championship but I would not be surprise

Novak is 39 he has injuries going into clay cold is not ideal
Last year he played Geneva because he lost in both early in both clay tournaments
Take your Novak sunglasses off and be real

Come on Miss Margaret .. everyone on this board knows if Novak was on fire, I would waste my piss to put out his flames. Sorry to be so vulgar but Novak is still as flexible as ever. he almost won AO less than five months ago.. I bet without checking Novak probably has less Ufes whenever he is on court than most of the top ten ..

Excuse me you need to get your eyes tested
I was live at the AO
Novak didn't almost win the AO he was gifted a walk over in the qfs
Musetti was killing him and had to retire
Alcaraz went to another gear when he lost the first set
Don't make me laugh

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Just to remind this board
Alcaraz is the youngest player in history to complete a career grand slam

I can't have radical conversations with Fan boys
I wish Moxie was alive she would agree with me

Yes Musetti had him but what are we gonna remember . Novak played on championship Sunday.. I am just saying that he will find a way to make it to the 2nd week if he stays healthy.. that's all I am saying...nothing more

I think she would agree especially the point we have seen this MOVIE before.. that's it for me.. I am not gonna loose my space in Tennis Heaven by saying anything else positive about Novak. I definitely need a bath with some strong LAVA SOAP.. jajaja

Have a nice bath and dont forget to take your Novak sunglasses off before you dive in
I still love you AP ( sometimes )
No you have missed my point it has nothing to do about ' we have seen this movie before"
My point which Susan would have agreed with is that Alcaraz just went up a gear in the final of the AO, we discussed it, and Novak was gifted a lucky draw? like today in Roma.and we all saw what happened, you cant carry injuries into RG and expect to win, clay will expose you just like it did today in Novaks match against Prizmac and at age 39, it becomes more difficult

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Enough talk about Novak,
A mens match that has stood out for me tomorrow is Medjedovic vs Fonseca
Medjedovic another young talent, but with how consistent Fonseca has been, he should come through.Only loses to top players since IW, though he did lose to Jodar in their only match recently
I hope Mrzz will be around!
