Very entertaining match between Sinner and Schwartzman despite it being a straight-set win, at least for any neutral and Sinner fan. Them being friends and very decent guys, and Diego being not too off-form, certainly helped. Just what the doctor ordered for Jannik, who didn't tire himself out...

Anyway they don't hold a candle to the rain in terms of disruption power

I wouldn't underestimate Korda. Norrie's solid but Korda can pull off quality performances if he's on, and has just recently beaten Norrie at Queen's on grass.

To be fair they do this at any tournament, Roland Garros gives wildcards to low-ranked French players and so on

I hate rain delays with every fibre of my being

Musetti and Sinner both winning pretty comfortably in straight sets, those Sinner slips made me miss a beat though

And sure enough, he's withdrawn from the tournament because of injury problems. Oh by the way, we've officially started!

To be fair the chances of me chatting them up are pretty slim since I'm a woman myself :lolol: but for sure all the wars and oppression plus some not-so-great climate make for a pretty harsh recipe

Yeah Hungarians are a pretty depressed people, Poles also aren't particularly friendly or expansive but it might have nothing to do with their personal happiness and just them being closed-off

This is just a welfare table; Finns as singular individuals aren't happier/less depressed people than for example Albanians, they're just better off financially and as a societal support system, but that doesn't affect day-to-day relative perspective as much as say climate and social customs...

Yeah she was so exasperated by questions about the war overshadowing her tennis that she decided to just spell it out:

Yeah me too, although I obviously hope there will be an Italian instead of Djokovic in the final but it's practically impossible. Kyrgios isn't in great form health-wise and hasn't played much this year, it will be very difficult for him to go deep. As much as I'm a Sinner fan, Alcaraz in on a...

The solution's simple: become interested in tennis!

Alcaraz (current #1) is a very exciting young man, he won the US Open last year and Queen's just a few days ago (which was big since grass was arguably his weakest surface up until now.) He's a mix of Nadal's defensive athleticism and power and Federer's attacking spirit. Djokovic is still the...

Are you going to watch some of it on tv? Are you going there in person? Who do you think will win it this year? I've never been and probably never will because of distance and money, but I like watching tennis - and as usual I'll be following it on TV or online and supporting the Italians, with...

I just want him gone for good, I don't care where he goes Edit: you really shouldn't buy him though

All this festival talk reminds me that some months ago a bunch of my compatriots produced the perfect festival anthem (and Manowar parody)

Doubt it will become a big league like the main European ones, might be a China-like situation. But if I'm wrong then the only difference is that there will be another big buying league in town, and that doesn't change much for us Serie A fans at the moment. It might change more for you who are...

Played for Milan this year and he's been abysmal, Milan haven't had a great season though to be fair and different managers/clubs might get different performances out of him. Still wouldn't throw my money at him.
