2019 ATP General News

The great Ralph gave a set to Nole and allowed the third to go to a tie breaker to make things interesting as it is an exhibition match. If this were a regular match, he would have beaten him 6-0 6-0.

I watched some of it. Didn't look like they were working too hard for most of it.

Paris Bercy draw is out. Medvedev in Novak's half, Roger is in Rafa's. I'll wait for the main thread, but bottom half seems a bit rougher.

Rafa..I doubt that he will have fresh.legs to be very competitive.

He has not played since USO. Why wouldn't he have fresh legs? Due to Salsa dancing at the wedding?

I saw the draw. All troublesome youngsters are in Novak's half (Med, Thiem, Tits). Roger has easy quarter and should reach the SFs at least.
I would say Rafa also has a fairly easy quarter, but not as easy as Roger's.

I don't see Nole winning this. I don't know who wins though.

Finally, we don't even know whether Roger will actually play. However, after seeing the draw, it will be stupid of him to pass it.

I don't see him winning either. Could be a next gen guy who wins again here, possibly Medvedev.

Against Bull? No way. If Novak loses before the final, and he will if he shows up the level he’s at since the AO19, Bull will get his next Masters Final!
I hope for a Novak- Nadal or Novak -Roger Final.

You do like watching the old timers I don't remember Nadal ever won Bercy or was he even close to winning so I looked it up and found him once in the final in '07 losing to Nalbandian 6:4 6:0. Not often that we can see Rafa losing a set 6:0.

Yes you are right. I’m not yet ready to let go the big3.
Thank you for this interesting fact about Nadal.
He will be motivated as hell to change this fact. Is Bercy fast or medium fast?

Rafa was always jaded on the days that he lose.

Saying Nalbandian's name around here is like opening a Pandora's box.

Haha not only his name.
I liked David a lot, enormous talent and great attitude.

Pandora's box ain't got sh#t on a poster like Cali who got an axe to grind.

Or say his number 3 times ala “Beetlejuice.”

I'd hope to hang on long enough to see that just so Rafa could possibly lose when most everyone would think his winning the event a lock! I would think in 5 years even the lamest of the NG'rs should be able to beat Nadal; even in an early Rd.! You'd think it anyway! :whistle:
