but your favorite Badosa is playing Anisimova next! dont you expect her to win?meganfernandez wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 2:17 pmDon’t blow by Anisimova in Sabalenka’s section. Amanda beat her here in 2019. I know Sabalenka is more refined but I wonder if that memory will come back to her.Suliso wrote:Swiatek vs Azarenka
Rybakina vs Zheng
Haddad Maia vs Gauff
Andreeva vs Sabalenka
There has to be a surprise or two from your projections. Anisimova, Timofeeva, Andreeva, Noskova, Tomljanovic… ?

Rybakina seemed to have a left ankle injury hampering her. Too bad.

Does Parks have a chance against Coco? Young players, when they get comfortable, can become monsters.. 30% Parks, I would say..

I hope (more than expect) Michelsen can beat Zverev.. Zverev isnt playing all that well but then he always makes everythng look difficult, so maybe it doesn mean much.. 40% Michelsen then..

This time we agree. Parks has the tools, but one wonders about the ability to keep it up for three sets against a more established player.

Was Novak actually expecting the fan to "come down" and talk to him As if that's the way it works?

According to L'Equipe some Serbian journalists were angry to learn that Mannarino refuses to know the identity of his next adversary until one hour before the game, they waited for him for nothing at his press conference as he wasn't going to answer questions about his matchup against Novak.

Mannarino has been playing tennis for 40 years; you'd think maybe they'd scout a little.

He's not going to change his process to suit media from anywhere. I asked my daughter if she thought he was being arrogant and she said "he's French." I sat down and continued to watch the tennis.

Think about it this way.
You win your match, find out immediately that your next opponent is Novak.
Or.
Don't find out until one hour before the match.
Which method will guarantee a better night sleep?

How French veteran Adrian Mannarino uses TEQUILA to take his game to new heights - with defending champion Novak Djokovic his next daunting assignment
French star beat US young gun Ben Shelton in five sets
Revealed post game he drinks tequila to unwind
Adrian Mannarino next faces top seed Novak Djokovic
By ANDREW PRENTICE FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
PUBLISHED: 00:11, 20 January 2024 | UPDATED: 01:42, 20 January 2024
French tennis star Adrian Mannarino has revealed the left-field secret to his on-court success - tequila.
The 35-year-old beat American rising star Ben Shelton, 21, in a five-set epic on Friday night which lasted four hours and 46 minutes.
When quizzed by Channel Nine commentator Adam Peacock as to how he is in career best form - and mocking Father Time - Mannarino's answer was brilliant.
'I started [drinking] tequila,' he said, much to the amusement of fans courtside.
'That helps to not think too much and you know, you just keep going.
'Sometimes you need to clear your brain and stop thinking about the past and you just keep going.
'Don't look back and just go.'
Mannarino, the 20th seed, will next face defending champion and world number one Novak Djokovic in the fourth round.
He also became an instant cult hero after telling tennis fans he just wants to 'enjoy the moment' and along with his team 'doesn't really care about what's next.'
The Frenchman's gripping triumph did deny fans a spicy re-match of Djokovic and Shelton, who have engaged in a war of words since the US Open last year, where the Serbian ended the run of the brash American in the semi-finals.
And while Djokovic is likely to be conserving his energy on Saturday, Mannarino will be back on court.
He will partner countryman Quentin Halys in the second round of the men's doubles against 12th seeds Jackson Withrow and Nathaniel Lammons.
At the United Cup earlier this month in Sydney, Mannarino attracted headlines after he was handed a controversial medical timeout mid-match.
It followed a self-induced injury, with Australian tennis great Wally Masur stunned at the decision from the chair umpire.
