Zheng is a tough out…, about to win 1st set.

Yes Camila had a great tournament. I feel bad for not including her in my post. Glad you mentioned her. Beautiful woman.

Zheng tanked that set after the leg tape. I see that Sinner quit against Rublev.

Does anyone know if the Djokovic-Nadal match tomorrow, which is during the primetime slot (1:45CT), will be on the Tennis Channel? The primetime matches the last two days have not been on TC and was wondering if the match tomorrow will be on another channel. Thanks

It looks like Tennis Channel has all of the coverage tomorrow. On the days NBC gets rights this week, NBC will have coverage. They seem to just do this exclusive Peacock coverage over Memorial Day weekend. I think the night match does not bode well for Rafa.

The bottom half fell apart today. Tsitsipas lost. Medvedev about to lose to grandpa Cilic. The semis will be Ruud or Rune versus Rublev or Cilic.

Thanks, Bunk. I was hoping Rafa would win in straights against Felix so he'd be fully rested against Novak. Unfortuantely, I think Novak will win in 3 or 4 tomorrow. He or Alcaraz should take the final over Ruud or Rune. Just my prediction. If Rafa somehow does be Novak, he'll have a much needed two days of rest before the semifinal

Cilic just absolutely worked Medvedev.

Interesting that Rafa has basically been +300-+400 to win the tournament all along, then odds popped to +450 today.

Why is that unfortunate? Rafa got a rather unfair edge in the title race in Australia with Novak being kept out of his best tourney for political reasons. Now it's unfortunate that Novak (the clear GOAT) is favoured to beat Rafa on the Spaniards best surface and could potentially even the total of grand slams won?

The Tennis Channel’s coverage of this tournament has been horrific. Hate it for the sport being on this bullshite channel.

I should have said “unfortunately for me as a Rafa fan.” I do agree that Novak shouldn’t have been banned from playing in Australia, but I’d still like to see Rafa win today. I think Novak will definitely take Wimbledon and be the favorite for the US Open to take the grand slams titles lead for good
