DoleINGout Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 French Open 2018 is upon us and Rafael Nadal is again expected to win. Can he make it eleven at the French? The odds are in his favor with no Roger Federer, Novak Djokavic, Andy Murray, or Stan Wawrinka in the tournament this hear. It will be up to Dominic Theim and Alexander Sverev to knock out Nadal in the Final most likely, or could a veteran tour member like the hibbled Juan Martin Del Portro outduel Nadal en route? Will we see Kei Nishikori elevate his play in a weakend tournament? How about Marin Čilić to capture his second career Grand Slam Final? What surprises could there be? And on the women's side, no Williams sisters but Caroline Wozniaki is carrying the torch of a number one player. The Americans on both sides are younger than ever and starting to rebound into a strong group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKTexans Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I can't really see a way past Nadal. I'm just hoping for some real progress from Kyle Edmund. He's up against 45th ranked Fucsovics today, if he gets past him, looks like Fognini in the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madridista Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Have I lost my mind? Swear I saw Novak is in the field this year. But either way Rafa will win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But either way Rafa will win Yeah Djokovic is definitely playing but he was been sort of unfavored all along so when I had started tuning in I had assumed he was out.

tom cody Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Yeah, Nadal's looking good thus far. Be interesting to see if he can make it 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gasquet looked way overmatched. Havn't seen any Joker, Thiem, or Zverev thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Judging by the scores of Novak's matches, this Ferdasco match comingup could be really telling if he is heating up or just getting his rust off with this tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Welp Novak is playing well but not to the level where I envision Nadal losing to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Mens draw is as expected for the quarters with the lone exception being the Italian Cecchinato who will have to go against Novak. Theim/Zverev is a treat. Del Poteo/Cilic has potential to be fun to watch as well but without seeing either guy play yet I give the edge to Del Portro by default. Nadal should dispatch Schwartzman without much difficulty as should Djokovic the Italian. Semi's should be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Only slight surprises in the womens draw has been Wozniacki losing and Maria Sharapova advancing to the quarters. I think we'll see an American face off in the semi's with Keys and Stevens. Slone has been looking better in the few games I saw of her play.

DoleINGout Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Hoping for a Nadal-Theim final. Appears to be the most competitive match left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKTexans Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Nadal cake walks another French. It's weird as he is so dominant I almost find myself undervaluing the French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKTexans Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Draw for Wimbledon has been made. Murray IS playing Serena IS seeded Ultimately I think it's Federer's to lose again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
