French Open 2022.

[nuraman00]

Men's Draw:

Djokovic's Quarter:

Djokovic and Nadal in the same quarter.

Nadal vs. Wawrinka 2nd round: I hope Wawrinka can win a few games in each set. Nadal in 3.

Djokovic vs. Nadal QF: It's rare for Nadal to enter the FO with 0 clay court titles. I'll still go with him.

Nadal in 4.

Zverev's Quarter:

Isner vs. Zverev 4th round: I doubt Isner gets this far, but if he does, he'll lose to Zverev in 3.

Alcaraz vs. Zverev QF: Alcaraz is playing well. Alcaraz in 3.

Tsitsipas' Quarter:

I think he comes out of this quarter. Tsitsipas to the SF.

Medvedev's Quarter:

I think a surprise comes out of here.

Medvedev vs. Isner 3rd round: Isner with the upset. Isner in 4.

Isner vs. Rublev QF: Rublev in 4.

I guess Rublev to the SF, even though I don't think it will be him.



Nadal vs. Alcaraz SF: I think I'm wrong, but Nadal in 4.

Tsitsipas vs. Rublev SF: Tsitsipas in 3.

Nadal vs. Tsitsipas Finals: I think Tsitsipas takes this one. Tsitsipas in 4.

Women's Draw:

Swiatek's Quarter:

Halep vs. Swiatek 4th round: I'd like to see a close match, but I think Swiatek in 2.

Pliskova vs. Swiatek QF: I'd like to see a close match, but I think Swiatek in 2.

Badosa's Quarter:

I'll pick Sabalenka to the SF.

Sakkari's Quarter:

Kvitova vs. Kerber 4th round: Kvitova hasn't been good since 2020, so I'll take Kerber in 3.

Osaka vs. Kerber QF: Kerber is a little more proven on clay. Kerber in 3.

Krejikova's Quarter:

No idea, so I'll just pick Gauff to come out of this quarter.

Swiatek vs. Sabalenka SF: Swiatek in 2.

Kerber vs. Gauff SF: I'll take the older player, even though I think the younger player has the advantage. Kerber in 3.

Swiatek vs. Kerber Finals: Hard to go against Swiatek with how well she's played the past several tourneys. I guess I'll do it anyways. Kerber in 3.

I'm changing my pick back to Nadal. If I have a projected Finals of Tsitsipas vs. Nadal, very few one handed backhand players beat Nadal on clay.

And Federer in his prime was a better clay player than Tsitsipas.

I was initially thinking Nadal might be worn out, but it's not a good idea to underestimate his physical abilities. He's almost always surpassed them.

2 teens in the QF

I got Nole beating Rafa. Rafa is just nowhere near as sharp as he could be. And he’s moving a lot slower now too.

I haven't watched today's matches yet, but it's disappointing that neither Tennis Channel, nor NBC, showed the Medvedev vs. Cilic match. Nor did they even talk about it. That's an interesting straight sets upset, yesterday.

Thanks. Well unless they say that during the start of Tennis Channel or NBC's broadcast, I'm not going to know. I just assume it will be on the TV broadcast at some point.

Good match between Djokovic and Nadal.

Good job Gauff, let's see what she can do in the next round.

That match tiebreak that Cilic played against Rublev might be the best tiebreak he's ever played.

Too bad about Zverev.

Congrats to Nadal.

Wish Cilic would have made the Finals, I think he would have been more interesting against Nadal.
