Tstisipas on current form could certainly take Djokovic too.
Could be a long day on Chatrier today, 5 games scheduled as the last of women’s R4 game didn’t get played yesterday due to the weather.
Rafa could have a long wait as I expect the Thiem-Schwartzman game has the potential to be a 4-5 hour 5 setter and the first of the two women’s quarters will likely only get started around 2pm CET.
Womens matches under way Svitolina down 5-1 in the first set.
First women’s match is over the Svitolina has been beaten. Are the women on the take?
I’m going with Schwartzman in 5 in this one. I should have WFH today. I think it will be a great game.
No need to rush it has been delayed. Probably wont get started till after 5 now with Nadal/Sinner on this evening.
Can they not close the roof?
The fuckers moved the womens match till later and put the Men’s on now. Sneaky swines.
Women’s tennis.
It’s gas watching a woman serve it out for a match. They nearly always get invariably broken when they have to serve it out.
I’d say you could make a few quid on betting against a woman serving it out.
Have just tuned in now. Schwartzman reminds me of mighty mouse.
62 minutes for the first set. This will be a long one.
As I predicted. I can see this being a 4/5 hr 5 setter. Thiem has looked a bit weary throughout the tournament, fancy lil Diego to take him out. He’s in tremendous form, yet to drop a set, made the Italian Open final dumping Nadal out in straight sets, he is a man in a rich vein of clay court form.
That was some forehand winner from Thiem.
I’d imagine there will be some amount of breaks of serves in this game. Arguably the two best returner of serves in the game outside Nadal and Djokovic.
Checking the court now to see if they can stop.
Time for the roof.
Indoor conditions suit Thiem more.
big point here
