Roland Garros / French Open 2023 [Men] - Grand Slam

Ruud needs a Novak walkabout at this moment to stay alive.

I used to love the old Eurosport commentary with Frew McMillan with Mats as a wingman. Mats was a good second wheel when his role was explaining tactics and strategy... unfortunately they gave him a show where everything became about McEnroe-esque GOATs and the flavours of the day.

How many holds at love for Novak? Ruud will never win this.

He’s not nervous now.

This game feels like Custer's last stand.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak is really hitting the ball cleanly now especially on his fhand

 

[britbox]

Big hold. Kudos Casper. One game at a time.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

For the life of me would Ruud's coach his dad, tell him to be on the baseline for Novak's 2nd serve

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

It’s great Casper is holding at the moment, but that’s not going to help him if he doesn’t try harder on the return.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Casper needs a big moment to get the crowd in this. He needs to tilt this set into his favor somehow.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I want more tennis. It would be nice to get a 5 setter.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Casper forcing the error's from Novak you might get your wish Sunday

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Net cord helped Novak there lol!

Big opportunity squandered. Can’t afford that against Novak.

Could have been serving for the 3rd set, now he is serving to stay alive and he holds

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

He holds for now. He needs to take some huge cuts at the return to maybe jar Novak into overthinking the serve.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak's fhand on fire in that service game hold to love

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Big trouble for Ruud. Looks like he is done.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Outstanding from Novak playing on another level, not much Ruud can do
