Everyone is entitled to their opinion, when Nadal retires hopefully then you will fully appreciate how lucky we all were to witness him.

I appreciate that his ridiculously slow play helped bring about a shot clock. So thanks Rafa.

Sad news as Bianca has withdrawn from the French Open. I hope she rests up and comes back strong but having a shoulder injury that is lingering is a tad concerning for the rest of this year.

Welp, that sucks. Gabriela Dabrowski is the lone Canadian left in women's doubles and mixed doubles.

Also great to see Dimitrov dispatch Cilic today so we don't have to see Marin '20 bounce' Cilic anymore at Roland Garros this year.

Such a bummer - He finally looks to be over the wrist injury (hitting the backhand with way more power) only for a knee injury to happen.

In a rematch of last years Calgary Challenger final, Jordan Thompson looks to nearly have his revenge over Dr. Ivo and with it, a ticket into the 3rd round of the French Open.

Interesting that Casper Ruud is also into the 3rd round now after going deep in Calgary last year as well.

Kinda neat that Fed will play Casper Ruud next - Roger faced Casper's dad Christian on the ATP tour a few years ago

but Casper has admitted to the press that he is a...Nadal Fan. if news of this reaches the old man, Ruud might end up wishing that he shared the tidbit after the match rather than before.

Nishikori and Djere are into a 5th and deciding set.

A lady just yelled at Roger to marry her during the tie break reminded me of this classic moment from one of the all time greats....

I don't understand why they're not showing the Djere - Nishikori match which is a five set thriller and are instead showing Nadal stream-rolling former world number 7 Goffin.

Edit: Just found it on TSN2. Carry on.

Credit to Nadal, this is impressive beating the crap out of the legend of the game that is Goffin.

Especially when one of the greatest players of all-time is playing against Nadal.
