Thankfully he is in Djokovic's half

I think Nadal has a tricky half with a few players who can give him trouble in Query and Cilic early on. He also has Felix, Shapo and Berrettini in his half. Going to be tricky to reach 23 but after AO and French Open anything is possible.

That said, Felix gets serve-and-volleyer Maxime Cressy in round 1. That's going to be a very tough match for FAA

I read that and went "uh excuse me there is no way that Ruud is making a QF on grass", then I looked at the draws... wow. That's EXTREMELY favourable for him.

Charlitos with the heavily taped elbow and one career win on grass, all the way to the semis? I'll be rooting for him but yeah, that semi isn't happening.

Interesting. I'm going to say that Nadal and Alcaraz both don't make it to the QFs though.

Shapo will be lucky to make the third round before he's dispatched easily by RBA the way he's been struggling, and FAA does not have any easy first round match against Cressey who is playing lights out and currently in the finals at Eastborne.

If Felix can manage that first match I see another potentially really deep run here.

The Battle of the Frenchies for the honour of facing Bianca was nuts.

Bianca takes the opening set 7-6 (7-5 was the tie-break score).

Man, Caroline Garcia just played three tremendous games and went from a 4-2 deficit to serving for set 2 at 5-4

I think Garcia really stepped up her level though and played some fantastic tennis. At least Bianca opened up set 3 with a service hold.

Well that was a good start with the early break... Garcia is yelling at herself. It's just I have no faith in Bianca's serve for whatever reason. If the first doesn't go it's almost a lost point automatically it seems like.

Also Garcia needs to get a warning for time on all these fake ball tosses.

Bianca should be up 3-0, instead a badly missed shot and two points later, we're back on serve at 1-2 with Garcia serving.
