You're not, because some of also think he can beat Novak. B-)

Of course he can. Hopefully we will enjoy that final and congratulate each other, no matter who wins

Are you one of them my friend? I mean here not in Paris-Final.

 

[Bonaca]

I must say Rafa's serve is much better today

He is rolling into form. Like always. I’m very happy about this. He is annihilating Busta. Poor guy.

Steady On.....Busta hasn't any weapons to upset Rafa.

But on the other side, despite that fact, who could beat Busta that easy and convincing?
i really hope he will teach your country fellow some respect in the next round!
I’m very excited about that match coming up.

Yes. Live or die by the one that brought you to the dance.

Novak,Roger the list goes one....Busta is a solid doubles player.

Rublev was overcoming a flue or something coming into AO, that is why he lost that set 6:0 in the first round. He said he is feeling much better now.

If Fritz can somehow takes the 4th set, anything is possible.

I am very pleased with Fritz’s effort today. I thought he will get bulldozed by Thiem today but he is showing a lot of guts right now!

 

[rafanoy1992]

Well, Thiem takes the 4th set and the match.

Monfils-Thiem will be an interesting match. Thiem leads 5-0 in the head to head matchup but Monfils is playing well and Thiem have loss some sets.

Are you hoping the Schnitzel will lose somehow before facing Nadal? That will not happen.

I assume the standard 10-hour wait while waiting for a take-off slot after missing the scheduled one, is part of this timetable of horrors?

...hehehe, that is the original schedule, my few experiences with BA have been actually quite ok. I changed flights right before my original schedule as I was going with Qatar airways and the flight route was precisely over some risky areas. I made a risk assessment which unfortunately turned out to be right, as the Ucranian plane was shot down precisely on the day I was supposed to fly through there. The 13 hours stops over was the price to pay, together with a longer route itself.

I am hoping that Thiem will lose next round. Do I think it will happen? No, but Thiem is not necessarily playing great tennis so Monfils has a chance to beat him.

 

[Andy22]

great win by nadal today against a really good player, hopefully kygrios gets smashed tonight as well.

Smart decision.

I hope Greek idiot gets smashed and punished and educated by Nadal. Karen is not capable of that.

 

[don_fabio]

Rublev conpletely overpowered Goffin. So much firepower from the russian and the brain is there too. He is better than KK. Hope he stays healthy.

 

[Andy22]

rublev looking good this season just beat goffin in 4 close sets might even break the top 10 who knows?.

 

[Bonaca]

I am hoping that Thiem will lose next round. Do I think it will happen? No, but Thiem is not necessarily playing great tennis so Monfils has a chance to beat him.

Understandable. Monfils has a chance, but he never beat the peasant. And I like it more to see the Mallorca Bull to take him out. Hopefully he will do it this year again in Paris.

yes it most likely be a close match with karen just winning in 5 sets anyway I think nadal will win against both regardless.
