Hot damn at the Rafa - Zverev 1st round matchup. Desperately hoping that match is Monday so I can go!

I don't know if qualies are still happening. I think the tournament starts Sunday, so they should probably set the schedule tomorrow, but it might not be until Saturday. I believe the first round is over three days.

Have fun, bro!

Cannot believe they gave Rafa Zverev in the 1st Round in what is very likely his last French Open.

Zverev -2.5 sets (+145) on DK

Sinner was in good form before he got hurt. I wouldn’t expect Rafa to do anything in what’s probably his last French especially with Zverev in RD 1. Djokovic hasn’t played a lot, and Sinner and Alcaraz have been hurt.

This could be the major where Zverev breaks through, but he always chokes in grand slams. Should be an interesting tournament. Still wouldn’t be shocked if Djokovic pulls it out though

Zverev looks to be in the best form. Nadal is a shadow of his former self, Sinner and Alcaraz are not 100%, and Djoker is not in his dominant mode.

Sure, but people have been saying this for 2 years now.

These ticket brokers playing absolute games with us. First they wait until today to announce that Rafa plays Monday. Then they only announce that he’s playing that day and not the session so tickets are already skyrocketing without even knowing whether Rafa will be day or night session. Tickets for each session at $2K and that’s basically 50/50 whether it’ll be him or not.

Thinking about just flipping a coin and guessing but fvck if he plays in the other season I’ll be pissed.

That sucks. Gun to my head, I think they would make it the last day match as the night matches don't quite seem to be as big of a deal there as they are in New York.

Mate spend that extra money on a beautiful French escort. Much more memorable than seeing Rafa lose in 4.

Pre-significant other, your idea would’ve crossed my mind ha

I’ve seen Rafa at all other majors, dying to see him in the place he ruled like a titan.

Yea, this is what everyone seems to be thinking, but fvck I’ll lose it if I drop that money to watch Djoker against some qualifier.

I kept clicking refresh on the official website the night before the men's final last year. About 5pm the night before I hit on 2 tix next to each other for $360 total and watched Joker win the record. I know Rafa has fans there like crazy but I wouldn't drop $2k on tix unless he's your all-time favorite player. I wouldn't be surprised if he loses.

Rafa is a +300 underdog so I'd say that's pretty safe to say.
