Dzumhur is suing the French Open because his coach tested positive for COVID-19. They asked to take a second test, but that request was denied and Dzumhur was prohibited from taking part in French Open qualifying. They returned to Belgrade where his coach had another test performed and that test was negative.

Oh and Verdasco won't be missed, he's probably the most hated guy on tour. The French can't stand him lol (go to the 21 minute mark).

They originally were hoping for 5,000 fans per day to attend, but have scaled that back to 1,000 fans as COVID-19 has come roaring back in France (over 14,000 new cases today).

Marco Cecchinato takes out De Minaur in straight sets. Remember he had a run to the semis here which included an epic win over Djokovic.

Clay is definitely his best surface and it looks like he's starting to regain some form after a very tough stretch (he went through a period when he had lost 23 of his last 25 matches).

Well, that sucks. PopSock have drawn Shapo - Bopanna as a first round men's doubles match.

I don't know what the problem is, I don't consider it too cold for tennis until the mercury plunges below 5 degrees Celsius lol

It's still early (only five games in), but Stan the Man is taking Andy to the woodshed thus far.

This is the eternal struggle in the super mega weather thread, the hardy white walker Canadians that are most comfortable at 15 or below, and are physically melting at 25, versus the rest of the world. I've shifted towards the latter group in my old age and would probably be the dude in full leggings and double long sleeves in my first match on Chartier.

Great they put it back for the last game! Ugh. So annoying. I don’t care about Gauff/Konta

Genie gets broken, but breaks right back. Serving at 3-3 in the opening set.

Edit: Broken again. Pressing way too much which is leading to unforced errors.
