Roland Garros 2018, Paris, France, ATP GRAND SLAM

Diego has been pretty poor recently. About time he started stringing a few results together.

Despite having those poorer results, his ranking was not hurt, more so, he has gained some. Perhaps he was not defending much, and others did not do so well either.
In any case he is ranked # 12, and has good chances to climb to 11, because Busta is defending lots of points at RG.

Nando takes a 2 set lead over Dimi. Vámos!

I guess people don't always factor in the physical factor in top level tennis. Schwartzman is significantly smaller and lighter than the rest of the field. Physically, he needs more effort than all the rest in every single shot. He needs to be at the top of his game and shape all the time. If he drops his level of intensity by a tiny bit, he is cooked. That explains why you will see him string some bad results some times for apparently no reason (let alone the fact that this would happen to anyone anyway).

Zverev in trouble too.

 

[herios]

Nd now Fernando has a break lead in the third set as well.

Zverev in trouble too.

I hope he loses. I don't like the guy. I don't know why.

 

[Denis]

I hope he loses. I don't like the guy. I don't know why.

Exactly my thinking too.

Can't really explain it.

And then there (we) where three... (you can check some previous posts of mine on that line).

[herios]

Fernando won !!!!!

 

[Denis]

Fernando won !!!!!

Nice win. Dimitrov never fails to disappoint. Congrats herios!

Novak takes the first set 6-4.

 

[Denis]

Zverev takes the fourth set tie-break. Man, Dzumhur must be kicking himself, he was serving for the match!

 

[Denis]

Nishi taking care of Simon. Up a set and two breaks.

Always had doubts about Sascha's stamina but looks like he may be putting back to back 5 setters in the bank.

 

[isabelle]

Sasha's playing with fire, another 5 setters vs Dzumhur....I wonder if he really wants to win

 

[Denis]

Dzumhur with matchpoints, after trailing 4-2, but serving for the match in the fourth. Quite a roller coaster.

 

[Denis]

Novak does some good-old racket smashing after missing an easy drive volley at 6-6 tiebreak. He was up a break and already failed to convert two set points on RBAs serve.

 

[Denis]

And Novak loses the second set. Damn, that was pretty poor mentally.
