ATP WTA GS Roland Garros 5/16 - 6/5 2022

I say that those are interesting stats, but they do not tell much. It is not that he won Rome, is that he looked very well and the other contenders didn't. Rafa is obvious, but yesterday's match against Stefanos was telling. That 7-6 is wearing a lot of make up. The break when Stefanos served for the match was at love, and it seemed inevitable.
I do hope you are right, of course. Him winning every slam at least three times would make it hard to deny him some extra accolades.

Yes, just interesting, that is all...let us see what happens at RG..I am still expecting Djoko to win it but not as sure as I was last year..

Tsisipas was only serving for the set, not the match....

Yes. Thanks for that. Indeed it was only for the set.

Gael is out of RG with a heel injury that will require minor surgery to correct. I'll post it in the Injury thread as well.

Yes, just interesting, that is all...let us see what happens at RG..I am still expecting Djoko to win it but not as sure as I was last year..

But it does make me wonder- maybe there is such a thing as peaking too soon..Remember, the Queen's champion could not win Wimbledon for a hundred years, until McEnroe broke the jinx..Nadal on clay, McEnroe on grass, it takes a player that great to overcome the peaking problem ..yes, I know, Becker followed McEnroe soon enough but Becker was also a great grass-court champion, and he was only 17 then . young players, like Alcaraz, get better every time they play, so peaking early doesn't happen with them...

[ponchi101]

Peaking is what great ones know how to manage. I remember Connors, in the 70's stretching some matches to get a bit more practice during the USO. He once said he would use the first three rounds to get himself back into playing shape.
But then it could no longer be done (he admitted). Players became too good to do that.

I was watching the qualies today and Sandgren and Monetiero were in a 3rd set TB. Monteiro was up 6-3 in the TB and the announcer said it was triple match point. Sandgren ended up winning 10-8 but the way the points went it was the same as if it were a 7 point TB. Then they switched over to McNallys' match, whcih she lost in a 3rd set breaker, and it was a 10 point TB. So either the woman and men are playing a different final set TB, or the announcer miscalled the mens' match, but it was weird because it was exactly the same person calling both matches.
Both women and men are playing a 10 point final set TB and the announcer was just mistaken, right?

The announcer in the men's match must have been mistaken, and realized it or was corrected before switching over to the women's match. Looks like they are all playing a super tiebreak (first to 10) in the final set. Same format as the main draw.

So... Ted Watts is back in the chair after all these years!

I was checking out the men's t-shirts in the RG online store, and I saw something really cool. They have a model who is in a chair who is modeling a few of the shirts. Good on them!! I didn't see any in the women's clothes, but I only looked on the first page.

[ponchi101]

Both Krecjikova and Nadal were able to practice today on Chatrier. Let's hope they are in good shape.

Some fun stories out of qualifying: https://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/arti ... -main-draw

--Linda Noskova, last year's junior champion, qualified for her first Grand Slam main draw. She's 17. She's the youngest woman to qualify for Roland-Garros since a 16-year-old Michelle Larcher de Brito in 2009.

--Jule Niemeier qualified after losing in the final round of qualifying in the last three Grand Slams. At Wimbledon last year, she even had two match points in the final round of qualifying, and lost. What a huge relief for her. She only lost 7 games total in all three matches - positively Iga-esque. She's 22 and this is her first Slam main draw.
