Probably Zvevrev’s best chance at winning a grand slam. Dude can’t handle the pressure

Tennis is going to be BRUTAL once Nadal/Djokovic are gone.

Desperately need a young American star.

Gotta say, good on the usta for pulling off Cincy and this major without much incident, save for the benny penoit incident.

Really great job overall imo

Exactly. They caught a ton of grief for how they structured the bubble. But, it worked. And of course Benny P almost threw a wrench in it.

o/u 5 slams for Thiem?

Gotta figure he'll win at least a couple of French Opens. Also gotta figure he probably won't win the French this year, though.

Djokovic will still be around on hardcourts until Thiem is in his 30s.

He should win a French and another hardcourt major. Medvedev is coming for the hardcourt events. Not sure about anybody else.

Don't remember when Thiem last hit a non-slice backhand.


It was a great play against Alex, who wasn't able to do much with it. He was smart to stick with it.

I originally had it set at 4.5, but I think the French Open factor is what helps him.

I'd take over 2.5 in a heartbeat.

This match showed why it is so awesome to have been able to watch Fed, Nadal, and Joker. These guys barely had any good points in 5 sets. Other guys continually have epic points. Not looking forward to Watching tennis when they’re all gone.
