The unofficial Roland Garros thread

I expected Goffin to do some damage vs Nadal. He is one of those with some promise among the up and coming.

Up and coming? Dude is turning 29 this winter.

But he still looks like he's about 12.

Maybe he was a few years ago. Anyways, Fed hasn’t faced any real test so far. Even the next match shouldn’t be too hard. Looking forward to a Fed Nad clash.

Goffin won a set vs Rafa on clay.

Great accomplishment

Bucket list. LOL

Stan through in three TBs vs Dimitrov. Dimitrov is really struggling these days. No longer the player people thought would be the successor to Fed’s throne.

Tsitsipas has won his match as well in four sets. N. Osaka is out. She sucks on clay I think.

Stefanos is becoming what Dimitrov was expected to be. Naomi does stink on clay but is getting better.

That was in 2017. He never finished his breakthrough.

Osaka lost today. But given that she's lost a lot of sets in prior rounds, not a surprise.

Wawrinka beating Dmitrov was a surprise. He had come into the tourney with 3 losses in a row, and has still not seemed to get over his health troubles of the past year.

Agree, she's getting better. It's her first time here with expectations.

The Thug is gone from Roland Garros 2019. That is thug-life for you!! JDP is through to last 16. He is the dangerous dark horse.

Before she used to lose to Henin, now a few years later it’s skipped a few letters in the alphabet H-I-J-K and losing to Kenin.

ESPN is fast and furious with the loss and wasted no time in complimenting her GS record surpassing Steffi and that she was injured a lot and that Court played in both the Pro and Amateur divisions.

Kenin played out of her mind. If that kid can develop a better serve look out. She is moving extremely well now and is not just a baseline basher.

Tennis channel coverage makes it very hard to enjoy this.

Exclusively showing fed dominate while Wawrinka/tsitipas is on

Great match

Wawrinka/Tsitsipas in a battle.

Approaching 3 hours and the 3rd set isn't complete

going five this one will.

 

[bksballer89]

I have a bad feeling that Tsitsipas is about to roll in this 5th set

 

[bksballer89]

Tremendous hold from Stan after falling behind 0-40 to open the 5th

 

[bksballer89]

So the winner of Kei/Paire won't have a rest day before playing Rafa.

 

[bksballer89]

Ridiculous shot by Stan on match point to win it.

Over 5 hours
