Nice improvement in his French for Novak, but pretending you are fully fluent is not a good idea, they will start you more questions you might not comprehend ;)
Nice try anyways and it is a good way to become a favorite with the French crowd.

One of the most balanced matches today with implication for Novak's section, potential R3 opponent is between Delbonis and Carreno-Busta. Two clay court specialists, who are not that far apart in skill.
Delbonis is more accomplished but I think is only because he is 2 years older.

Looks like Kohli will be up against it. Shame if he gets knocked out in the first round

Carreno-Busta wins Minor upset because Delbonis was seeded (31)

Kohli, ffs. You've had 2 separate break points in this set and then just lost your serve. Game over

Hahaha f*ck off Fognini, c*nt

He played like crap all spring. No surprise there. He was never going to be a threat to Nadal in this form.

As a slight departure from ATP, some serious eye candy in the Giorgi v Lim match :D

Camila Giorgi is lovely.

Camila Giorgi is the hottest thing in tennis ever, like period. Her competition is Alize Lim, and Petra Uberalova. I mean, just look at this:

I can't believe the third set tiebreak. Feel bad for Herbert.

Nike should rescue Zverev from Adidas. Who would buy Adidas outfits?

Back in the 70's after washing, the clothing was useless and the shoes couldn't stand up to HC play! I was on court for hours and needed more durable tennis-wear! IIRC Lendl just threw the stuff out after wearing it once! :nono :dodgy: :cover
