“who ya got?”
Not who ya got 😉
I just saw the espn picks. 4 for Novax and 4 for Alcaraz. None for Rafa.
This mirrors the betting but although Tsitsi has an easy run to the final he is still behind Rafa.
I’m going with Novak, mainly because of his experience (compared to Alcaraz for example). And of course Rafa has fitness issues unfortunately.
This is still a Rafa site! 56 votes for Rafa, 34 for Djokovic, only 22 for Alcaraz.
Honestly, I won’t be surprised if any of those three win the title. I would be a bit surprised if Tsitsi manages to finally win a slam. But it’s quite possible that whoever emerges from the top half of the draw will be a shadow of himself. He’ll also be battle tested. I can guarantee that!
Rafa does not have “fitness issues”. He’s got a “tricky” left foot that acts up from time to time, plus he’ll turn 35 during the second week of the tournament.
Rafa will turn 36. Fitness issues is an absurd way of describing living with an injury that cannot be corrected. Insensitive to say the least.
Rafa also had a bad rib injury quite recently.
Rafa will surprise everyone and win the title. He is looking sharper than Rome in his practise matches and his foot is no longer bothering him. He will be hungry and out to prove a point and get a 2 grand slam lead over Djokovic and Federer and prove he is the GOAT!
He could tweak his foot injury very easily during a run of matches. That’s what worries me about him going all the way.
@ Anshuman, I love ure take!!! With Rafa”s “fitness” issues clearly it hampers his chances but it does not mean that he can’t win!! Like I said in another thread, more often than not, Rafa has given the proverbial middle finger to those who have written him off in slams, and at FO to boot!!! I am very happy that he is not the favorite here bcoz he can focus on his tennis instead of the pressure and expectations!! Despite the draw, this is the best thing that can happen to Rafa!!!
However, if he loses to Novak in the quarters or before at least it will give him enough time to prepare for Wimby and try to win there, a feat that will give me immense pleasure and satisfaction. And after that, whatever happens happens bcoz he would have cemented his legacy in my view!!! Stay healthy, Rafa. Vamos champ!!!
Rafa beats tsitsipas in the final in 3 sets.
Nice crystal ball
‘Fitness’ issues is a broad term , it covers long term injuries and also lack of practise, training returning from those injuries .Why take it out on anyone that players have these incurable rare conditions ?
thank you Big Al.
Some people here just enjoy being belligerent, quite sad really.
thanks Big Al.
maybe English is not their first language.
Watch out for: DFK, Rudd, Sinner, and Rune…and Alcaraz to win it all
I switched on the tv for RG thinking it would be on ITV and it’s not there!😠
Can someone tell me the best way to watch?
Is it on Amazon Prime?
Obviously wimby is free on the BBC..
In GB, if you subscribe to SKY it’s on Eurosport. You could also subscribe to the Discovery Channel through an APP or Anazon Prime.
Eurosport
It’s usually on ITV 4 as well, if u can put up with John inverdale
It’s not on ITV4. I checked and they lost the rights.😠
I just paid on Amazon Prime to get Eurosport…
Just saw Jabeur lose 😪 I really like her so am upset.
Are there different options to watch different matches on Eurosport? Or do you have to watch what they give you?
So Thiem goes out first round. It’s really sad seeing him struggle endlessly. He’s a great clay court player..😪😪
It’s truly sad to see Theim lose so early Considering his previous successes here!! It’s little wonder that Rafa has managed to be so successful inspite of his history of injuries!! Just goes to show how special This guy is and we continue to take him for granted!
I don’t take him for granted Mona!!😀
But Thiem seems to have completely lost his mojo..
Wrist injuries are horrible, plus he’s had other things. Covid? But he’s not young any more, in tennis terms anyway. One of my favourites, very sad.
Eurosport 1,and 2
You can also sign up to Eurosport player separately and stream a choice of courts but it’s harder to watch on replay
I do have a choice of courts with what I’ve got so I think I must have that already. But it’s not easy to use so far.
I seem to have Eurosport extra 1-4.
Confusing…
Jabeur out- my bracket going west already.i had her in the final
I only saw the end. She was making some very nervy errors.
Most of us did!
Played toomuch lately..
FAA survives 3 break points to avoid going double break down. Varillas has been completely out playing him up till now..
C, some early upsets and surprise wins and performances already!!! In tennis, U just never know!!!
Honestly, predictions for this RG are more or less educated guesses since we don’t know how Rafa’s foot (and everything else) will behave. I don’t give Novax ant chance to beat Nadal if the latter is even close to his best – and why wouldn’t he if he stays healthy until then? The Serb only beat Rafa at RG by taking advantage of the Spaniard’s woes, the situation is no different today.
I think that Alcaraz, at least for now, has a game with too little margin for error. He hasn’t won anything important on RG-like clay. He might win this, but I really doubt that he will.
As long as Rafa’s healthy, he’s most likely going to win this. However, nobody knows how things will unfold. If he crashes out, the final winner depends on when that happens.
@ Cristian P May 22, 2022 at 9:01 AM
Agree with you. All depends on Rafa’s foot.
Christian,
I appreciate your take on predictions for this RG. I am in complete agreement with you. The foot is the big issue. Will it hold up?
If Rafa is okay then I think he can beat Novak. I get that the current puck seems to be Alcaraz. I am not surprised. We will see.
Current PICK!
Autocorrect!
