I'm very surprised you didn't say Medvedev was his biggest competition.


He better wake up then, smoked in the first set 6-2 by wildcard Adam Walton.

Wild match, he comes back to clap Walton 6-1 in the second then Walton does the same in the third 6-1.

Jeez. He was up a break in the fifth and had at least one break point at 4-4. He is awful now. That score line is funny, it's like whichever guy got down early in a set packed it in.

Down goes Medvedev. Walton’s first top 10 win.

He didn’t break anything…I’m disappointed. Figured he’d melt again

The fact that 19-year old Rafael Jodar has the 4th highest odds to win the tourament is a little insane.

How was Djokovic's form? How's the shoulder?

I only watched bits and pieces of his match yesterday, but it's hard to tell as Perricard is a complete outlier -- a servebot who has to win the point in the first few shots. It looks like he has an easy match next, then Fonseca will be a problem.

Anyone saw that collapse from Sinner in 3rd set? Won first 2 sets and m was up 4-0 in 3rd and left room. Came back and he just lost the set

They were mentioning cramps. He sure seems to have a lot of cramping issues. Giant favorite to win tourney but he may be in trouble here? Not going to be pausing match to close the roof this time!

ETA live odds for him to win French open dropped from 76% to 54% past 10 minutes. Wondering if he picked up a slight injury or if just cramps

Like I said in my opening post, he got wobbly a few times in the warmup tournaments and there may be some hope to TKO him a in a fitness contest.

He’s hurting. Looks in real danger of tapping here

Might be bias of the moment but for as much as I see him having physicality issues at his young age makes me wonder how much staying power he’ll have at the top after the next several years

I had just switched to Tiafoe because it seemed over. This is crazy to watch.

The guy he's playing is a very good clay court player, but obviously didn't expect this.
