Zverev has now been broken in the second set too.
He’s in big bother.
Otte has an extremely weird serving style.
I’d still back Zverev to come throuhg here.
Zverev now two sets down.
Well Thiem says he is mentally exhausted that the end of last year winning the US open and then the getting to the quarters in the french open a couple of weeks later took more out of him than he thought.
Zverev looks to have turned it around. Break up in the 5th
Sinner 2 sets to 1 down in the first round.
He’s one of the few who could cause Nadal bother before the SF stage.
Sinner through in 5.
Federer looks like he is cruising through in straight sets. Bit surprised by this as he’s played so little tennis in 18 months and has really struggled on his return.
Good statement by the greatest woman tennis player in the world as she pulls out of the French Open.
But this won’t stop the horrible, cynical vultures preying on her.

Is that the opponent of Serena Williams from that controversial match a couple of years back where Serena started shouting about sexism?
Yes it is.
Don’t think anyone’s preying on her. She’s just a product of our times and see’s the opportunity there to milk the woke teat as much as she can.
She’s earned $55 Million I heard yesterday, just less than $5 in actual prize money. The rest in brands latching on.
There’s more money in being a difficult arsehole. Let her off.

She seems like a thoroughly woke, admirable and enlightened individual. And a great, great player.
If that annoys middle aged curmudegeonly men, more power to her.
No one should trivialise mental health. She’s pulled out of a major tournament over it. She deserves to be taken seriously
She has walked the walk and done what is best for her health. It’s a pity the tournament organisers wouldn’t take her seriously.
They should probably call off the tournament just so everyone’s OK, can’t be too careful.
Was she not down to play mixed doubles with Kaepernick?
It’s a pity mental health issues in this country were put on the back-burner and played down for the past year in the name of lockdowns too.
What’s that got to do with anything? She’s pulled out. She’s literally put her money where her mouth is.
Nobody ever considered the mental health of the Covid bereaved.
Now people are talking about her finally and know who she is, and she’s bought a nice chunk of fake caché that she can trade for more money from woke-conscious brands than just playing tennis.

So are you saying she’s lying about her mental health for money? It sure sounds like you are.
