Was watching it but missed the end. I had a feeling Felix would win.

Had no idea Grigor Dimitrov dropped to 46 in the world

Good call, then.

Tiafoe to the 3rd round

Tiafoe to the 3rd round

To play Nadal! I love it. I think Tiafoe has that fearlessness in him.

Wawrinka vs. Nishikori could be good if Wawrinka is in top form. I don't know if he is, though.

Fed first real test on clay also as he faces Monfils

Osaka playing well on clay so far.

Good to see.

Is Monfils still good?

 

[nuraman00]

Monfils beat Wawrinka for the Rotterdam title this year. I guess Monfils can still summon a high level.

Thanks. That's still pretty relevant, then.

Finally. She was terrible the last 2 years.

Well she didn't win today lol

Monfils choked vs Fed

 

[bksballer89]

Novak, Fed, Stan, Thiem, and Tsitsipas all in the QF already.

Likely to be joined by Rafa and possibly Zverev.

That is a loaded QF

Djokovic vs Cilic

Tsitipas vs. Alexander Zverev

Federer vs. Thiem

Wawrinka vs. Nadal

Wow.

I'd probably give the edge to Thiem, but if FED can win, it would be a great win.

After three years away, Roger Federer returns to clay

We could have a rematch of last year's French Open Finals, if Halep and Stephens meet in the Finals.
