by dave g Here are the Day 9 ATP matches you can pick from. Since the French Open spreads their first round matches over three days, these matches are the top half of the draw. Also, please type your picks using their family name (last name everywhere but China) first, like they appear in this list of picks. Picks are due before the first players walk out onto the court.
DJOKOVIC Novak SRB [1] vs MUSETTI Lorenzo ITA
BERRETTINI Matteo ITA [9] vs FEDERER Roger SUI [8]
NADAL Rafael ESP [3] vs SINNER Jannik ITA [18]
SCHWARTZMAN Diego ARG [10] vs STRUFF Jan-Lennard GER
There has been some speculation that Federer is going to withdraw. If he withdraws early enough, you will not be able to pick Berrettini. However, if he withdraws just before the match, people who pick Berrettini will not have time to change their picks, particularly those who don't wake up before the deadline. For instance, the matches start at 4:00 a.m. my time, and I have no plans on waking up in the middle of the night to find out whether or not Federer has withdrawn. So, here is my rule, if Federer withdraws before the last match of today ends, then you can not pick Berrettini. If Federer withdraws tomorrow (Paris time), then you get to pick Berrettini.
Federer has withdrawn, leaving us with only three matches to choose from.
