I have Rublev over the greek in QF, russian could save my draw. I did gamble a lot against Novak though. SF and F is where it matters the most.
I think my draw is already unredeemable, having picked Paire and Isner, even Cilic, all against my own wishes, to go fairly deep. On the bright side, the Beautiful Pablo Andujar won his match today, in 5. :)

I'm re-quoting this, because I looked at our draw choices, just now. You went for Novak to lose to Zverev in the SF. I went for Berrettini to take him down in the QFs. Which is wishful thinking, at best. But my feeling is that if Novak gets to the SFs, no one is taking him out. But you're definitely playing a better margin. It's definitely about will he or won't he, as far as Novak. The question everyone has.

I thought about making a thread for the draw challenge, but as usual of late, it's just you and me, anyway, so my idea is that we'll bore everyone else with our draw challenge conversation, and then they'll get jealous, and play the next time. :D :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Excellent! I forgot that your handle is slightly different in the challenge. Good! One more person to compare notes with and have the small bragging rights. IF Tsitsipas survives this round, and now it's going 5, so we'll see in the next hour or so, and we even get to Tsitsipas v Rublev, the 3 of us will have the small side-wager there. :)

I see Anna Wintour in the crowd, and Roger not even playing. I guess she actually likes tennis. LOL.

Oh well Sir Andrew you gave it all you had...back luck and the Toilet Break King wins in 5 sets
Quite frankly I am 'over The Young Greek and his on court coaching from his dad,and his over long bathroom breaks,about time he plays by the rules of tennis or finds another sport.

I can't believe about they still allow be those 8 or or 10 minutes in the bathroom, enough time to read from the coach the text message about hat he has to do it, embarrassing !!!!!!!

I think this says a lot about Murray's desire to keep playing, and that his level is pretty darned good. Obviously, we all said it was a rough first round for Stefanos, but it was a rough first round for previous champion Murray, too.
