Dominic is a long way off getting his game back, he has gone back to playing challengers, before the grass which I think is the right way forward for him at the present time
If I were to guess the first set, I'd say that Ruud will be nervous, and Marin will serve him off the court. 6-2, 6-3, something like that. From there, we'll see how Ruud responds. I'm willing to lay that marker. Let's see what happens. (Clearly, I'm not too proud to be wrong, as I play the Draw Challenge all the time.

I have faith in Ruud and he also trains at Rafa's academy a lot.....Marin can be prone to mental lapses, Ruud is for a youngster,calm on court and he had to play The Brat Teenager Rune, who was up to his usual antics on courtIf I were to guess the first set, I'd say that Ruud will be nervous, and Marin will serve him off the court. 6-2, 6-3, something like that.

Cilic just took the first. He's playing well. But as to your above, I agree. Wertheim said the mood was quite somber in the locker room area where Sasha was, and that Rafa looked sort of stunned. And these guys thought the 2nd set was about to go to TB, and then suddenly they were up right away. And they know why. Everyone has to feel weird and bad. But now they'll be focusing.
No confirmation that that actually happened. Ruud denies it.
Well at least Casper dosent make homophobic comments against his opponents like the Brat Teenager Rune has, the ATP investigating btw
I think he is human like anyone else, but he at least seems to keep his composure on court at the very least. If he takes it off court, I am ok with it as long as it sticks to words.
