2016 French Open Day 11: Wednesday, June 1 - Order of Play

[kskate2]

I want to watch the matches on the internet. Are there any free good quality streams? Streams on LSH are crappy today. :nono

The Batman stream is pretty reliable.

It looks like both Thiem and Goffin will reach their first Slam quarterfinals appearance. It will be interesting to see on who's gonna rise up between the two of them.

Thiem has the higher upside as Goffin is probably about as good as he'll ever be - he's already 25, after all.

As I said in the Rankings thread, Goffin is already guaranteed a spot in the top 10 after RG. Thiem is #11 and will make the top 10 if he beats Goffin tomorrow. Actually, the winner will end up ranked #7 if Berdych and Gasquet both lose.

I hate being able to lip read. Murray is just vile.

Another thing about Goffin and Thiem: tomorrow will be both of their first Slam QF.

Who are you picking to win Dude?


Gasquet breaks back... wonder if Murray will give up another set here.

The future is finally looking bright.

I want to go with Thiem, but my head is sayin Goffin.

Exactly this. I want to see Thiem step up and be a legit Slam threat, but I'm thinking he's still not quite there and Goffin is just so damn consistent. In fact, I think Goffin is going to be the new Mr. Quarterfinals, sort of like David Ferrer has been.

That said, while I think Goffin has a slightly better chance of winning, it isn't by much: maybe 60-40 or 55-45.

Either way who ever wins could get a coveted top 8 seed before Wimbledon maybe depending on results.

Thiem will put David into Coffin. While he is not ready to take out Novak, he is capable of doing the last rites for David.

Are the top half men's quarterfinals still tomorrow along with a Sunday final?

Are the top half men's quarterfinals still tomorrow along with a Sunday final?

Yes, as the schedule has come out.

I don't know as to when is the semis and finals.

Tomorrow is bad weather and then we have a string of good days.

So, assuming they finish the top half quarterfinals tomorrow, I think they will not change the event schedule. But, if they don't finish it tomorrow, they may have to change.

Nice. I wasn't sure if the top half might play four consecutive days Tues-Fri.

For Wimbledon seeding, there are 2 more weeks events which will count after RG.
Those are:
1. Stuttgart and S'Hertogenbosh
2. Halle and Queens.

The result of these 4 events will still modify the rankings, especially considering how tightly bunched the players are from 7-12 or even 14.
