Roland Garros 2017, Paris, France, ATP GRAND SLAM

[Carol]

Bigger than a calendar grand slam?

Well, it depends how each one wants to see it, both achievements are incredible good but like the article says to win RG is not easy at all, some of the greatest players never could make it

FFS - Fiasco grabs the third set. Zverev in trouble, 2 sets to 1 down. This kid is about the only thing I'm going to enjoy about this tournament and he might be on the first bus home.

 

[britbox]

Up to his neck in it now, break down in the fourth, one smashed racquet and a code violation later.

I did think Zverev might have something of a let-down after winning Rome ... but didn't expect him to lose in the first round. Of course, he's not out yet, but close to the brink, facing break point for a double break.

 

[isabelle]

bad schedule for Zverev, he should have pulled out of Geneva, now he's out of gas

Hangs in to hold.

Would be a pretty big statement if he digs himself out of this massive hole. Not looking likely the way Verdasco is hitting right now...

the sadest if Tabasco wins it's that he'll lose in second round vs Mr Nobody...

 

[britbox]

Any more of the racquet abuse, he'll get docked a point. He was lucky then.

4-1 now Baron. Verdy is a public choker, so it could still happen. Remember all those MP's he swallowed against Novak

Phew... one tiny step in the right direction. Mammoth hold, but time is running out.

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Two break points for Verdasco to go 5-1 up ... both saved. Game point Zverev ... and he holds on for 4-2.

Meanwhile your boy Kokk takes the opener from glassikori

 

[kskate2]

5-2 Verdy

 

[mrzz]

Did someone saw that coming (Verdasco)?

Not even his mother.

 

[mightyjeditribble]

5-2 to Verdasco. Zverev's serve has been under pressure this set. I bet Fernando would love to break here and not have to serve out.

 

[kskate2]

who would have saw that coming? Verdy is terribly inconsistent

 

[kskate2]

2 mp's

 

[kskate2]

Such a huge letdown. How many errors did Alex have?
