Testing

Roof will be closed, apparently rain will be around today

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Roof being closed could favor Ruud, heavier balls should suit his play

 

[kskate2]

I was going to say it might act as an equalizer. It could help w/ Carlito's serve not to have any elements inteferring

I’m mad I have to go to a friend’s engagement party. I didn’t plan my day out at all

 

[kskate2]

no, you did not

 

[kskate2]

congrats to your friend though

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

The thing about Ruud is he is so hard to read which is either a pro or con at times for his matches

You could be Ruud and say you're sick

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Alcaraz llooks tired to me especially around his eyes

Has been sprinkling all day. Dreary day, nice temperature.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

It’s always hard for me to tell where Ruud’s engagement is in a match as he always goes about his matches relatively quiet and workman like

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Moxie Shame the weather wasnt like yesterday

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Carlos is usually always up for a match and expressive so it will be a quick tell if he isn’t

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Carlos doing Rafa juumps at the net lol!

Alcaraz won the toss and again chose to receive
