French Open semifinal.

This could very well be Federer's last French Open appearance.

I can't go against Rafa on clay.
#1 dirt player of all time.


The other side of the draw is in the quarters.

Djokovic (1) vs. Zverev (5)
Thiem (4) vs. Khachanov (10)

I like Djoker and Thiem to get through to the semis, with Thiem having a good shot at knocking off Djokovic if they meet.

A Thiem vs. Nadal final could be an epic war.



Will be interesting.
In the current state of men's tennis, the French Open is probably the best of the four slams for viewing.

Infinitely better than men's collegiate wresting.

Nadal is rolling.

Up 2 sets and a break in the 3rd.

Thiem vs. Djokovic: Sets are one all and Thiem is up a break in the 3d. Play suspended.

Yep.
Wiped his cakk on the drapes as he exited the court.

Thiem will give Nadal fits, imo.

Thiem has serious firepower, serious court speed, and he is nearly 10 years younger than Rafa.


I expect a war.

Should be some excellent viewing.

It was neither.

It was a four set match.

I think your "too pooped" take did come through, though, judging by how Nadal rolled Thiem 6-1, 6-1 in the last two sets.


Nadal's 12 French titles is one of the greatest sporting accomplishments in history.

Guys like M. Wilander and G. Kuerten are French legends by virtue of their 3 titles at Roland Garros.
Borg's 6 titles in Paris were always considered insane.

Nadal with... 12?

Simply unreal.


Rafa has 18 grand slam titles now.
Federer is tops with 20.
Nadal leads Federer 23-15 head to head.

Hmmmm...

Porky's been run so many times... he's been quarantined to posting about french boys tennis with a pedophile that lives in Korea.


Can't Stop Laughing

You sound like a total idiot.

Did I hurt your feelings... with the truth?
