Serena has pulled out of the women's draw. Was staying up (late here in Oz) to watch... :mad:

The tournament organisation can be relieved that they will abide by noise pollution limits this year.

Maybe I'm overly demanding but it's been frustrating watching Nadal this clay court season. I don't know, he's been very hit and miss.

Nadal hasn't dropped a set this tournament and the competition isn't even close. That's all that matters.

Obviously he's the overwhelming favorite but he hasn't dropped a set all tournament means little since he just played the 4th round... How often do you face good competition if you're the number 1 seed in the first week? I'm more worried about what happens in the semis and finals. It's the French Open, so I trust him to tidy up his game, but so far it's been meh.

You're being dramatic here. It'd be a shock if he drops more than 1 set all tournament.

Djokovic should take one set if Bolleli and Marterer can get to a tie-break. Even if it's the final.

dull is not even playing well but such a shame he doesn't have a single opponent like Thiem/Djokovic/DP who can exploit it. DP will play dull in the SF which would be too late.

KS.. That shouldn’t be considered a compliment being compared to Mary C..:lol6:
Look. There was a time when I liked Mary C. Years ago she used to call Wimby matches on TNT w/ Martina. I thought some of that was her best work. But over the years she's become increasingly annoying.

I still think she can be very funny and I like her, so for me, it was a compliment.

I have NEVER like Mary “here or there” , in a box with a fox, in a house with a mouse. I never like Mary C but I do like Green eggs and ham.

Seriously, the woman does not give any serious tennis strategy or insight. All she does is gossips, if I want gossip, I can watch the Real Housewives of ATL for Porsha. ❤️
