Alcaraz will not win RG yet. I say next in line is Tsisipas, but I am not sure he can do it at RG either. I would say we have to wait for the USO for a new ATP winner.
WTA? Anisimova won't win RG. Swiatek looks solid there. So I say, somebody new at W. Somebody completely out of the blue. Megan's pick of Jabeur there is not a thoughtless one.

Quarterfinalist last year, lost to Sabalenka. Jabeur has a good shot this year if she's healthy.

Strange motion from Botic, but not hindrance-level IMO. If PCB was watching the ball, would he have noticed much?

So you're thinking Rafa at RG and Novax at W?


Kevin

More Novax at W than Rafa at RG. I say Rafa is the favorite at RG, but no over the field. At W, I say Novax over the field.

Sounds like it might be more about returning for some kind of Polish Champions League and knowing she'll be at Wimbledon at this point seems to suggest Legends, but she's definitely playing again in some respect. And maybe it also just means she'll be around more. Thinking it's likely not a coincidence that she's in Rome this week and we might hear more from her soon.

I know his views on Equal Pay and some others are not very welcomed, but I always felt that, on the court, he was honest and a hard worker. He was the kind of player that us, the regular players, could try to imitate. When people were trying to play like Roger, Rafa or Nole, I would always think that for our level, trying to imitate some of Simon's strokes was a faster, surer route.
Certainly he will not be missed; not too many accomplishments to remember. But he does fall on the category of the overachiever.
And I think that he would make a great coach. Lots of his wins were simply because he understood the game better than the other guy.

Does everyone know my Simon story, or should i tell it again? Pretty sure I helped him break into the top 15.

I have no memory of your Simon story, so feel free to tell it again.
