Janik Sinner is my bet, but I think Alcaraz wins it.

I'm probably going to put some money on Rune. I just need to decide whether I want to also put money on Sinner (my thought is one of those guys makes the final) or do I go with Tsitsipas in the other half with that increased payout (I realize he probably won't beat Alcaraz and Djokovic, but I don't want to bet on one of those guys)?

Can't see a way that Shitface would beat Alcaraz, Joker, and whoever back to back.

Yeah I would imagine the bottom half finalist comes from the group of Med, Sinner, Rune.

Good effort from Norrie to grind that out in front of a rowdy crowd and with Benny P. on his game.

Here is a little nugget on conditions. I would have thought the ball is jumping in the warm, dry weather. Apparently not.
quote:

Laslo Djere is the latest player to call the balls used at Roland Garros a "disaster". Also says the Lenglen court is watered so much it feels like playing in mud. Khachanov, who played there earlier, said it was like playing "in the forest by the lake"

How are you guys watching? I don't have cable or satellite, so I can't watch the Tennis Channel, and Tennis Channel Plus only seems to offer a yearly subscription.

Yeah, it sucks if you don't have Tennis Channel. I may be wrong, but I think Peacock has most, if not all, of it. Their online subscription usually costs next to nothing. I believe NBC has coverage from 11:00-3:00 eastern today and on the weekends.

ETA, I am wrong on Peacock. Here is the overall schedule.

Lol at Ramos-Vinolas' poverty fashion brand. Had never seen that logo before.
