Apart from Nadal - who has the best chance to win French Open?

[Le Gaucher]

Nadal is overwhelming fav - but assuming one bad day in office along the route to finals - who do you think is in the best position to exploit that opportunity?

I think it wont be one of the old guard or even someone over 27. ( Let's face it - Dimitrov, Raonic etc have had their chances and could do nothing with it)

My money will be on one of Zverev or Thiem.

1. Agree abt Thiem & esp Z. Others who have a chance if

They avoid 5 set matches:

Del Potro
Cilic

I would have added Goffin, but he already had a five setter.

2. agree....

and wouldn't count out Djocker if he regains his form...

3. So far, our guys are still alive, though Zverev will

probably appreciate some rain delays to recover from all of his five setters.

[Le Gaucher]

4. Nadal is probabaly going to win this without dropping a set.

He is having his opponents like free food samples at Costco.

5. LOL--and it's hard to see any other outcome. However

Cilic as usual is under the radar, and Delpo is still holding up. Will be interesting...

[Le Gaucher]

6. looks like we have a fight on in the Nadal/Schwartzman game

[spooky3]

7. Yes--wonder how the rain delay will affect the play?

[Le Gaucher]

8. wet clay does not favor Nadal per the comentators

As of now - I am relishing the match ( I am working from home as the carpet in office is being changed)


Spreadsheets over the match, some chardonnay and a side of DU !

9. :-)

10. clearly they did not factor in a rejuvenated Nadal

[spooky3]

11. I guess play will resume tomorrow. Let's hope that

The four male players who have to finish tomorrow won’t be too disadvantaged compared to those who have finished.

Good to see Halep get through, too.
