Finally got onto this site after my computer went AWOL

Rafa and his team were tested on the same day Medvedev tested positive,they are okay,but will again get tested in a couple of days from the information I read.

Hopefully my boy Sinner will play well against Novak
Rafa will play Delbonis in his first match tommorrow he is third match up on Prince Rainer court
Londero replaces Medvedev in the singles draw

I noticed that when I looked at my draw and wondered why I'd picked Londero to go so deep, and then I remembered your post from earlier.

Rafa will most likely be tested a few times..Will he has to go into covid protocol or something?

Chances of catching covid outdoors are they say around 0.1% Unless they're shaking hands or handling each other's balls (the ones they play with for tennis purposes! ) and then touching their faces often, chances are extremely low.

I watched their practice,there wasn't any shaking of hands at the net,from what I could see on the Ytube

I think FAA has to learn 'patience on clay' quite frankly I thought Garin would defeat him,at present he is better equipped on clay.

medvy has the 'rona ?..yikes. still at 24/25 he should be ok hopefully.
and no covid monte carlo tennis hotspot outbreak wrecking the draw either, could happen.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

sinner might wake up feeling dangerous tomorrow...

and catch mr actionman hairdo geezer cold, seeing as he hasn't played for abit.

Medvedev has practiced with Rafa and also with Novak and others and I suppose that he also has had contact with others without wearing any mask and not social distance which is even worse than to practice with him. Hope no one else gives positive, crossing fingers!

This is true..

I think he had the 'rona' when he played like horse manure vs Novak at AO 2021..

Dimitrov, Rublev and Fognini all doing well on Monte Carlo clay so far, will do the job in straights.

Looking forward to Djokovic-Sinner.

 

[napo]

Jesus Sinner is hammering the ball like there is no tomorrow.
Djoker slowly taking control over the young gun.

 

[napo]

First set Djokovic, rusty performance so far.

Sinner huge talent!

 

[Nadalfan2013]

I love Nadal’s outfit. It’s sexy and the bright colours are uplifting.

 

[napo]

High level of clay tennis from Krajinovic.
Great next match against Fabio.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

are we looking at a 7000th nadal/djoko final already ?..

defeat but bonus news is sinner is no19 in the live rank charts.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Thank God for Youtube. I will rewatch the Rafa's match later today...I can't get up early to watch him..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Just finished watching Rafa's match......Ugh to purple against red clay Rafa,I won't make a comment on the color of those shorts
Thank goodness he is not wearing that outfit at RG this year.
Rafa will play Dimitrov 3rd up on Prince Rainer court,where he will have a tougher opponent....though the only time Dimitrov has beaten Rafa has been once on HC.
I was surprised to see Diego get beaten by Ruud?
My youngster Sinner has to have 'more balance' in his matches,he was too passive at times,also his serve went AWOL at crucial times in his match against Novak.....this is just a learning curve for the teenager.
