It's not even the weather so much as their response and planning. This is the last time I'm going to say it (this fortnight anyway). By starting the show courts at 11am and scheduling 5+ matches for the day on each one. They wouldn't have as many cancellations. They should be starting at the same time on all courts until they catch up. :facepalm:
Agree 100% maybe we should fly over there and plan it for them, remember to pack your umbrella:)

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa, mind already boggling what will happen on court with these 2 love birds.

How can Paula play doubs if she's not fit enough for singles?

Jordan Thompson is barely recognizable without facial hair. Personally, I liked the pornstache and will grieve its loss.
I watched some of Thompson's first rd match agree no facial hair and short back and sides, he needs to bring back the 'pornstache' I never thought I would say that lol!

Rublev - Karatsev
Hurkacz - Choinski
Musetti - Munar
Goffin - Barrios Vera
Mmoh - Marterer

I am 20 plus years ahead of you in having this tournament as my least favorite because of the weather..

I was going to write something and then saw your post! :lol6: What a difference a shave and a haircut makes! He went from looking like some crazed lunatic that wandered onto a tennis court to a younger handsomer version of Clive Owen.

Watching Novak, it’s kind of scary how relaxed he looks out there. His game was somewhere between scratchy and ugly during most of the clay season. I doubt anyone other than his hitting buddy (Sinner) or young Carlos will be able to put him on his heels. Alcaraz will have some good competition to further solidify his budding grass court prowess. Hopefully they have a chance to meet in the final.

Very relaxed! He's owning it and is very confident after winning that 3rd FO last month! He really doesn't have to do much else to solidify his hold on the tour! Reminds me of Borg after winning Wimbledon! He sauntered around as if no one could touch him! :yawningface: :astonished-face::face-with-hand-over-mouth:

I think he looks great, but "handsomer" than Clive Owen?? Not possible.

He definitely had one of the greatest pornstache on the tour Ever.. today he has the tennis IQ of Donald Trump , serving and volley against Novak is brainless
You trying to say he got his tennis skills from the Wharton school? Thompson is actually playing well out there. I love his serve.
