I'm very pleassed to see that Fed and Rafa are in different halves. I actually like Rafa's draw quite a bit. I'm a little bummed that he get DY in the second round, because I like DY's form, and was hoping to see him advance into the second week. I H'e s a capable player on grass, but i still don't like his chances against Rafa.

Murray could get Honey Nut Kyrgios in the 4th round. Ouch.

I like Cilic's current form but I don't like him drawing Phillip "tough damn out" Kohlschreiber in the first round. That's a tough damn out.

The tournament directors clearly hate america, as they have Taylor Harry and Johnny Iz squaring off in the first round. I'm rooting for Taylor Harry in that one.

Decent likelihood we get Smug v. Baby Smug* in the 4th round. That's always a fun match.

Just a few quick hitters. Full analysis later. Work calls.


*Baby smug isn't actually smug. Hence, why i tend to go with Playboy Grigs

The bottom of the draw is ridiculous. So much harder than the top.

My brother got really lucky with Roland Garros four years ago, but he was up in the middle of the night when they went on sale. I think the Wimbledon tickets I got in 2002 were through Championship Tennis Tours. They get an allotment through the Scottish Lawn Tennis association or something. If you go there and queue, you might not see a show court. But, you should get on to the grounds. Australia, I wish I knew. I would love to go to Monte Carlo once.

Did you mean Wimbledon only? That's what I assumed, since they have that stupid lottery system. I'm pretty sure all other tournies have modern-day ticket offerings.

Yeah just Wimbledon. I'm hoping to get lucky one year. I'm assuming the lines are just ridiculous the day of.

Anyone able to catch the Rafa match? I've got it recorded for later. How'd he look? Saw the scores and def appears encouraging given how he's struggled here early in the past.

He looked good from what I saw. Next match will be tougher.

Wawrinka really hates grass. I was wondering why the odds were so damn good for a top 5 seed in the first round, then did a bit of research and most books were taking Medvedev.

Yeah, think he has an injury that was limiting him.
Looked as if he practically threw the last set on purpose.

I know Stan didn't play great last tourney, but I'm shocked he lost in the 1st round.
