Just hoping that no one else turns up positive. Sorry for Paire and his NYC Eleven but they knew the risks when they signed up. Thing is, no one thinks it will be him or her.

Don’t think surface is Zverev’s problem. His second serve, especially under pressure, is a serious problem.

I hope so too, but the current Covid numbers in France are alarming. Well, it’s several weeks off still. Things could improve. I guess.

The schedule this year is “barbarous”, to quote Rafa. Glad he stayed away. Covid 19 has flared up again in France so who knows what’s going to happen? Now Djokovic, aided and abetted by Pospisil and Isner is […]

H’mmm, BVC seems to have copied your article, Ricky, first giving it the weirdest English to English?!? translation since Rafa “translated” Djokovic’s English remarks in Argentina to Spanglish. 🙂

Maybe if NoVax goes down…but AO is the Old Djoker’s best event. Wimbledon, maybe. Can’t see Jolly Old Roger winning RG or the USO again.

PS Ricky did you mean *lost* shot in the penultimate line? Freudian slip?

RBA was awesome enough to beat NoVax the last 3 times they squared off.

I’m fearful for Murray today but Cheryl has reassured me. 🙂 Thanks!

Murray in 3.

Isner in 3. Big John’s been looking good I’m told. Not like I actually watch him. I’d rather watch grass grow.

Muzzah (Well, that’s mostly hope, but he *could* win.

Berankis — no, no hope for him! Djoker in 2 not very complicated sets.

There’s a roof on Chatrier now. And lights! Rafa approves. I do not. C’est la vie.

Just checking the poll: One vote for Home Thiem, one for Meddy Bear, one for the Greek Freak and one for Sir Andy (that was me, I don’t really think he’ll win the USO, just wanted to give him some luv). […]

I’ve given up on even trying to predict wth will happen next! Good luck to the participants, especially Andy and Kim!

Stay tuned for further developments…

@genny_ss is providing translations of Rafa’s ZOOM media conference on her twitter account.

I didn’t think Rafa was going to play in the US this year but more because […]

I believe “Cincinatti”, which has been moved to NYC, is still on the ATP schedule for the week before the USO. Last I saw the USO will make an announcement by July 31 as to whether they’re a go or no go. Beijing […]

Alas. First of the dominoes to fall? Looks like the Non-USA athletes will need some kind of guarantee they can get to Europe in time for the fall clay season.

All too true, but few US players are going to cry too hard about missing the Euro clay court events, are they? Well, we’ll know more in a month or so. In the meanwhile, stay well, folks and wear your masks.

Sometimes less is more. 🙂 Don’t think NK is interested in visiting covid central this year. He doesn’t care for clay either so you’ll have to be satisfied reading his tweets.

Seems like more or less the usual suspects for the Citi Open. Andy Murray’s not on the list though…and what’s Delpo’s status these days?

Djokovic the only whiner I’ve seen so far, though I cannot figure out how it hurts him, except maybe by helping Rafa and Roger. Roger’s the biggest winner – no objections to that from me. Great for those who are […]
