Roland Garros / French Open [Men] - Grand Slam

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sinner lacks finesse. He lost his patience in TB and that might cost him a match, we will see. Herbert always a pleasure to watch when he is on.

Love watching Herbert,started shaky,but got into his game,it is a pleasure to watch
Sinner's wild fhands did add to his demise in that t/break,he looks rattled to me,because Herbert has taken him out of his comfort zone.

 

[napo]

Uuh what a crucial 3rd set loss from Jannik. That one hurts.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Herbert is serving to the Sinner bhand with good success,I wish Sinner would stand in more on the return,standing far too back to receive serve especially on the deuce court.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sinner survives a tough service game,Herbert hand many BPs but could not convert 4 all

This is highly entertaining match. Sinner erases a MP, I can see this one going to 5th set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

MP down was Sinner and he now breaks and will serve for the 4th set 6-5....helped by Herbert who served 2 DFs in a row.

Poor Herbert he must have had the MP on his mind and DF his service game away

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sinner wins the 4th set 75 .....2 sets all going 5 on Lenglen

What do some of these men want to take the scenic route to the next round?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

After saving MP in the 4th set,Sinner lifted his game to defeat Herbert in an entertaining match 61 46 67(4) 75 64

Medvedev planning some clean tennis. I think he was reading our forum and is tired of being made fun of on clay.

Yeah, looks like he had enough of clowning on the dirt. He might fall in love with it, who knows.

Nice easy jobs by Daniil and Filip today .
Also good to see Sinner went through in 5.

All kidding aside, I'm glad he decided he was going to put his head down and try to play like the #2 ranked guy in the tournament, or at least a top-5 one.

Agree. He has a good draw and beatable opponents up to QF, so why not give it a try. I'm glad to see him care and making an effort.

 

[napo]

Roger with a nice warm up!
Will face Marin in the 2nd round. Few years back, this would have been a SF or F pairing in a Masters 1000 or GS.

Time for Cilic for some revenge of those GS final loses in Wimbledon and AO. He won't get better opportunity than this one. Will be an interesting match.

SF here we come. I just have a good feeling. First almost 40 year old in donkeys years to reach the RG semis, beating the current world number 1 en route. We shall see

To reach the SF would mean to beat Novak in the quarters. Hard to imagine.
But who knows, he looked good today.
