·Just wondering if we have any tennis fans on here. It's an entertaining tournament this year! Hoping to see Nadal win it, but I imagine its going to be one of the new youngsters coming through (or Djokovic)...

·I suspect Djokovic, but I hope nadal gives him a good run.
The ladies draw is wide open with the loss of swiatec. Jabeur must have a fairly good chance now.

Watching right now. ABD for me.
Anyone but Djokovic? I’m excited by Alcaraz and reckon he could go far.

I haven’t seen how Djokovic has been playing - not really interested. Nadal has the mental grit, let’s just hope physically he’s up to it.

··Sunburst dial fanHave you been watching this evening? The match with Tsitsipas has been hilarious for all the wrong reasons.

Yep, Kyrgios true to form.

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerTrue to form - bad tempered and mouthy, but extremely talented and good to watch when he’s playing well. Just sad he’s wasted his talent with his attitude. He otherwise could have won a few Slams by now…
His antics are a coping mechanism for him. I’m not convinced he could play at the level he does without them to an extent.
Given the antics of his opponent today in the past (and some today as well), Nick doesn’t get away with much in comparison to others. I was cheering for him today.

·Enjoyed the match between Kyrgios and Tsitsipas... intense, emotional, competitive and a bit bizarre. Funny hearing McEnroe complaining of Kyrgios's antics considering McEnroe was once the bad boy of tennis. Watching Krygios is like watching speed tennis. I see him reaching the semis.
I don't know if I'm the only one, but, not a fan of Djokovic. I'll be rooting for the field and Nadal for the title. Women's side is wide open and have no clue who will prevail.

·Hilarious match today.
Nick 'Big Cojones' Kyrgios in da house 😁 4-1 h2h vs Tsitsipas now.
Anyone but Djokovic, I hope.

(No disrespect intended to Tim van R - amazing WC effort! - or Jannik Sinner; especially since I've probably just jinxed their opponents...)

·I was gobsmacked by Rafa publicly summoning and admonishing young Sonego at the net today. That's the umpire's job. At least Rafa was classy enough to apologise in the locker room and in public when he cooled down.
But Sonego isn't "young" anymore, at 27 he is a fully mature player who should know what constitutes hindrance. Umpire should have reminded him if not. Bitching for half set about closing the roof well before time was rather desperate too, umpire should have not yielded to that pressure.

·We've waited a very, very long time for The next guy. After Madrid, I only wanted to see him on grass to be sure. If he makes it to the quarters against Djoko, then we'll see where he's at. It will be one blazing hot ticket!

There is something to be said for the "halo and horns" phenomenon.
I’ve just had a look at what Rafa did. It doesn’t look great I have to say, but in the heat of the moment these guys are on another plane of competition, so I can kind of get that tensions would rise a bit.

He had to do it because the umpire didn’t. He had already talked to the umpire about it, and the umpire did nothing.

1. No-one should put money on my tips
2. I was foolishly ignorant of just what Sinner could do on grass.
I still think "Carlito" is the man, but he was beaten on the day by a super player who sure has the attributes for grass, and who was having a match right in the zone. Sinner was terrific!
Alcaraz showed a lot of mental resilience as well as some great groundstrokes. But his taste for Hail Mary drop-shots did remind me of a young Andy Murray though (but that worked out alright In the end) 😜

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerSinner played really well today. I’ve watched him a lot, and I expected a much tighter match. Very much hoping he continues that form in his next match!
