Roland Garros thread

Looking at R1, some things to take on board:-

Our Cam Norrie only seeded 14

Pick of the draw I suspect will be Auger-Aliassime v Fognini

Novak and Alcaraz have got to be favourites, but can the young Danes (Ruun and Ruud) upset the applecart?

Taylor Fritz, maybe?

Surprised that former champion, Jelena Ostapenko is seeded 17!

70+ pages for Raducanu, 0 posts for Alcaraz vs Djokovic. Maybe it's a British thing.

Possibly, who knows?

Anyway, the ladies final earlier between Swiatek and Muchova was brilliant with some fantastic tennis being played.

Yep good ladies final, could have gone either way. Close.

Today watching the mens. Casper should have had that first set, a few volley’s missed that perhaps didn’t have to be volleys, and those floating backhands of his were sometimes too short and allowed novak to come into the net on a couple of occasions and win a point or two

Armchair expert that I am… but I do play..

Cmon Ruud…

Djokovic is like the fking Terminator, isn't he? Relentless pressure and determination, backed up with timely "howitzer" forearm winners.

Not the most attractive tennis match to watch, though.

Next stop, SW19!

Fully respect Djokovic getting 23 but cannot stand the guy, not really had much competition this week.
