Sinner got a great draw. Most of the threats have to take each other out before the semis, when he'd get Carlitos. Stefanos and Dimitrov got good draws, because the bottom half probably won't hold up with Sinner and Alcaraz both hurt. I doubt both of them will make the semis, possibly neither. Tsitsipas could sidestep the carnage.

Tommy Paul got unlucky to be in Novak's section. Zverev has a very tough draw, even after Rafa - has Rune and Medvedev just to reach the semis to play Djokovic. Djokovic has some challenges but nothing too scary. I don't think Tommy Paul will beat him.

Stan Vs Andy. Marquee matchup just a few years ago. Played in the parking lot, you think?
I don't see the challenges for Novak. Straight to the semis, I guess.

Murray has drawn Stan the last three times he has played the French (including this year), and lost to him the time before that, too. So crazy.

It should've been a DQ.

Best major in years to play Djoker at, so at least Paul is lucky in that respect.

I posted this into the Day 2 thread as well. The acceleration in his first step is gone.

[ponchi101]

Coming from an oldie: that is what leaves you. Your legs. The hands, the volleys, the racquet speed, they remain. Your legs go first.
