Thankfully this match, this time, hasnt scared my brain,not like the last time Meddy and Sasha met

Why is Novak saying he only played Rune ones? Did he forget US Open in 2021? He lost a set to him then...

That match doesn't count as Rune was a baby and not a top player yet. The real h2h is 1-0 for Rune.

It was a warm handshake, I could hear congratulations from Zverev. Meddy played well, he is getting better on clay. Hanfmann next..

Don,
Are hanging around for Coric and the giant slayer from yesterday Fabio?

Medvedev into his 1st QF in Rome.

That for a guy w/ a less than 50% winnings on clay against some certified dirt ballers.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I have always thought Meddy had a good game for clay, he just has to be prepared to get down and get dirty on clay lol! eg dirt in his socks, which he has whinged about.

Not sure, gotta watch some TV series for an hour and then will take a look what is going on there.

Also Musetti Tsitsipas is scheduled for tonight, that's a popcorn match with a wild italian crowd involved.

He has, and he’s gotten it into his head that it’s against him. I think that’s a strange issue to have, he’s plainly holding himself back. None of the example of the Big 3 has rubbed off on him, obviously. They worked like crazy to improve on all the surfaces, but Danii seems to have happily allowed himself to fall foul of a myth..

Forget about Musetti, Italians will be hoping for an upset, Sinner was very disappointing earlier in his match.
Popcorn match indeed lol!

Daniil To Zeverev:

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

If Fabio plays the way he did against Alcaraz, Coric will have his hands full, though after such a impressive win, I wont be surprised if he has a let down

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Raining match suspended

No let down from Fabio wins the 1st set 63 over Coric, at this rate Musetti and The Young Greek's match may not begin

Charlie slayer already up a set

Charlie slayer already up a set

[MargaretMcAleer]

That was short and sweet players on court now for the 2nd set
Rain Rain Go Away Come Again after this tournament finishes
