You guys tried that crap yet?

It's arse... at least for doubles. Aces are impossible. You can't hit winners because the court is too small and the opponents rush to the net as soon as possible. It's like playing on clay vs. Rafa.

Weird how it's a bad matchup for Sinner. I'm not sure why.

After his last match so hard to get up to that level of intensity in this match. That first service game was brutal for him.

Carlito, Sinner, and The Specialist are the new Big Three

carlito is a dirty grunting clay courter cut from the same cloth as the buttpicker. tennis deserves a classier ambassador to market the sport globally.

He's won a hardcourt major and two hardcourt masters, to only one clay masters and yet he's a "grunting clay courter"?

To be fair, there is nothing wrong with being a grunting clay courter, but he's had more success thus far on hard courts.

That doesn’t change the fact that the majority of his titles are on clay. Because he’s a clay courter (and a dirty one at that).

He would have less hard court titles and no slams if Biden wasn’t a marxist

I don’t see that as a reason to hate a player but maybe that’s just me.

And I doubt Novak is all that concerned about missing these tourneys. He doesn’t need the money and he can save his body and energy for later.

Weird melt over Alcaraz. Of course he doesn't have that many titles... He's 19 years old.

Seeing some things that Alcaraz, Rafa, and FAA are out of Monte Carlo. Bummer because I wanted to see a full draw for the first time in a while. Barcelona is the following week and that is sort of Rafa's home tournament, so I think it may be a bit of panic time if he withdraws there. But, he still has Madrid and Rome for some match play.

Just woke up to those alerts. Guess Alcaraz can’t sit out Barcelona so something has to give. Strange that all the brown folks are out and the top 8 seeds are white.

Shapo out now too. Does he even count as a big name anymore?

Ben Shelton +118 against the corpse formerly known as Dominic Thiem? Yes sir I will.

That should be a fun watch.

Ruud drops the 1st set to… Joao Sousa. Is it 2018?
