The Official Tennis Thread (Vol. 2024 French Open)

Another case of what could have been.

 

[you go boy]

^ I wanted to see Thiem win more than 1 major as long as its not against Rafa lol

 

[youngwolf]

RG is really making Thiem go through qualies?

Trash.

Trash.

Right?! I saw a lot of backlash on the socials after the WC announcements.
He's only an RG finalist... nothing to see here.
Ironically, having just lost his 2nd quali match, RG decided to hold some farewell ceremony for him.

 

[whtascene]

Having a farewell ceremony and a IG post for him signing off as Paris loves you Domi is irony.

Obviously don't love him enough to want him to play the main draw for the last time.

Alex Eala winning another qualifying match at Roland Garros...Hopefully she makes the main draw.

Emma Raducanu withdrew. Sheesh. Both she and Laylah Fernandez fell.

 

[Sinner]

You don't get many tennis pros from the Philippines (maybe Layla?) , so it'll be interesting to see her progress. I think she trains at the Nadal Academy as well.

Emma's been unlucky with injuries, but the consistency from her and Laylah just isn't there. I'm rooting for them, but it's hard cuz they rarely make deep runs in tournaments! Apparently, Emma's skipping the entire clay season.

Ever since that US Open run Leylah been the definition of meh. One tournament makes the quarters next tournament first round exit.

Would love to see Alex make the main draw haven’t had the chance to see her play yet.

 

[otakuant]

I'm sick to my stomach. Rafa vs Scumbag Zverev first round.

We'll have to wait next year. She lost today.

Rafa is going out in straight sets.

 

[Sinner]

 

[otakuant]

Come on, Rafa... Those drop shots in the tie-break...

 

[Sinner]

Rafa with a few half-chances and moments of his old self, but Sascha just sharper right now.

EDIT

Welp.

 

[thadangerousmind]

It's been real Nadal. Go home and be a family man.

 

[whtascene]

Nothing left for him to prove, time to ride off into the sunset and not tarnish his legacy with bad results.

 

[Fozz]

Nadal's time is coming to an end. This sucks.

 

[whtascene]

Well done Jannik, well done.

Naomi hitting the ball so well right now.
What a 2nd Round matchup.

 

[703 hwy]

Wow Osaka was a huge underdog to Iga. If she holds on good win.

 

[Sinner]

This match.

 

[otakuant]

Osaka.

That has to hurt... Had a set point in the first and match point in the third.

 

[eracism]

Total collapse.

 

[Sinner]

What a match.

She had it.
Just couldn't close it out.. but these moments are tough to execute.
Kudos to Iga to continue to fight back and hanging in there.
