Alize's outside the top-100.  She'll need to step up her game if you want to see more of her.  

This was Aga in Roma, but you get the idea.

 

[champcruthik]

I'll be the Rory to her Caro. Minus the breakup and all.

Roland did Rafa dirty. Why is he playing in ****** lenglen tomorrow?

 

[Sinner]

Yeah, that was kinda disrespectful... though it could motivate Rafa to play better, I guess. 

 

[Sinner]

DirecTV coming through again.

Beck and Hesse are cute! So is Beck's counterpart.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Eh. Everybody usually plays one match on a secondary court except for what Wimbledon?

 

[Sinner]

True.  Had it been a 2nd or 3rd round match, it wouldn't have been as big an issue.  But this is the defending champion, world #1 & top seed, in his opening match.  Normally that's automatic "center court".  

 

[thadangerousmind]

He'll live i'm sure it'll end up being just another day in the office.

 

[rook]

Dude has won the tourney 8 times lmao he deserves center court literally ever time he plays at the open

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

Hope Roger makes it far and that my girl Boom Boom does well.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Well we'll see if he complains like he complains about everything else.

Looking forward to Rafa go for his 9th French open title!

 

[champcruthik]

Rafa will always be my guy, but I'd like to see Nishikori, Raonic, and Jo perform well. Almagro, Dimitrov, Monfils to a lesser extent.

 

[Sinner]

Wow, Kei down 7-6, 4-0! 

EDIT ~ 7-6(4) 6-1 6-2... clearly not fully recovered. 

 

[champcruthik]

Wow, Kei down 7-6, 4-0! 

EDIT ~ 7-6(4) 6-1 6-2... clearly not fully recovered. 

That moment your 2014 French Open pick crashes out first round. Shows how much I know.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Well damn.

 

[Sinner]

Djoker...

 

[Sinner]

Bagnis - Bennetteau *17-16 in the 5th?  Ooook.

EDIT ~ And Bagnis wins it 18-16 in the 5th... first ever GS main-draw match... first ever 5-set match.  Wow.

 

[thadangerousmind]

If you have an iPhone the NBC Live Sports app is clutch for Roland Garros coverage since Watch ESPN isn't airing any live matches during the day smh. Lasicki's thighs though.

 

[eiddyfouw]

Stan The Man is taking strain out there...

He coming off an injury?

 

[thadangerousmind]

Wawrinka is only making it easier for Rafa smh.

 

[eiddyfouw]

Wawrinka is only making it easier for Rafa smh.

King Djoki is still alive an well....

 

[Sinner]

Stan is kicking his own ace... errors, errors, errors and, wait for it............

Garcia-Lopez is solid.  Doing enough.

 

[thadangerousmind]

King Djoki is still alive an well....

I'm not worried about Novak unless he has to face Federer near the end. He's not in Fed's head like Rafa is.

 

[firepower]

Didn't really get to watch any of today's play so far, but I tune in and Kei's already out and Stan's struggling! WTF?
