Milos has withdrawn from the FO
Genie Bouchard gets 108th ranked Russian Anna Kalinskaya in the first round.
Leylah gets 31 seed Magda Linette in the first round.
Wawrinka vs Murray first round. Nadal's half is stacked, he could have to face Fognini, Zverev, Thiem, Djokovic to win the title fun.
Djokovic has a stupid easy path to the finals brutal.

Shapo gets Gilles Simon in round 1 and I think I saw Vasek vs. Berrettini. Tough draw for Pops.

eh I'm still gonna put my money on the tournament having an uncontrolled outbreak and the whole thing going down in flames Adria style. Djoker's two biggest rivals aren't Roger and Rafa, they are luck and common sense, so don't fret about him closing the slam gap yet.

It does take a certain level of hubris to post the following considering the fallout from the Adria fiasco.

That's about as good a draw possible for Bouchard.

R Fagel? More like 2 Bagel
How does Rafa’s best run compare, I wonder. Is that the most dominant major run in history or has there been better?

Steven Diez has drawn Mackenzie McDonald in Round 1. If he wins, he gets some guy named Rafael Nadal in Round 2.

Rafa's most dominate run for me was his 2017 French Open title or his La Decima. He lost 35 games (3 more than Borg) but in Borgs run his closest match was to Tanner where he won 6-2,6-4,7-6 (12 games lost). In 2017 Nadals toughest match was to Robin Haase in the 2nd round where he won 6-1,6-4,6-3 (8 games lost). No one won more than 4 games in a set the whole tournament and that includes a beat down of great players like Thiem 6-3,6-4,6-0 in the semis and to the Stanimal in the finals 6-2,6-3,6-1. It's the most dominate title I've ever seen him win and this was after 2 years of not winning in Paris and people questioning if Nadal was done winning slams.

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to tell your kids that you played Rafa at Roland Garros.

For sure, it would be great motivation to win his first round match. Too bad it would be a match without fans.
