It's going to be tough for Nadal to take out former world #4 and 2016 Olympic Bronze medalist Nishikori, I'm not looking past that match right now.

I just think Zverev has a punchers chance, same with Thiem to take out the Djoker.

Federer and Wawrinka will also hopefully be a good one, depends how much the Stanimal has recovered.

The good news for the Rafa Victim Club is Rafa-Nishikori is on Chatrier tomorrow while Federer-Wawrinka is on Lenglen. Bad omen for Roger since that's where Stan beat him in 2015.

Watch out Federer the Stanimal has been unthawed!

Spoiler!

Pretty big win for Khachanov knocking Delpo out of the French Open - Silent K will face Thiem in one of the quarter-finals on Wednesday.

To anybody who made it past Whoopi in the above video, I tip my cap.

So ridiculous.

Imagine if it was Kyrgios.

Stan needs to ask Yonex why all their clothing gives him a chunky barrel shape, when he's actually Hugh Jackman Wolverine underneath.

No omens needed.

If Nadal even loses a set tomorrow he should retire.

Imagine punishing people with Nishikori on Chatrier when there's a classic on Lenglen. Fans should be livid.

The Nadal - Nishikori match should have taken place on court 1 (aka the Bullring) as El Matador is toying with the Japanese bull.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Nishikori should have forfeited if this was gonna be his "effort" today.

It's pretty crazy how much tennis has changed from the 80s and 90s where as soon as you were on the wrong side of 25 you were in the twilight of your career. Here we have a 34 year old battling a 37 year old and the quality of tennis is top notch.

How can you stop now?!

great match, that was my final as far as I'm concerned. don't bang yourself up too much on Thursday Roger, and go get some chocolate croissants on the weekend with the family.

It's going to be a very good match on Friday, I don't expect Nadal to roll at all. Roger has looked great so far especially on serve.

[Senator Clay Davis]

It is going to be fascinating because not only is 100% of the pressure on Nadal, I expect by far the most hostile crowd he's ever faced. He's not the type like Novak to thrive off that. Could see the crowd playing a huge role Friday, ideally they get on him for the time wasting and force time violation early.
