Grand Slam French Open 2023

[Munich]

Nadal overcame his.
Alcaraz has a title already. Problem is Novak sticking around. The man wants 25 before he retires

It won't matter if he ends up with 25 or 30 he still won't have the adoration that Fedal have and his legacy will always be tarnished with his poor behaviour throughout his career.

Tennis is more than just title counts it has a history rich in sportsmanship and tradition in which he does not fit into well.

Fedal have done it all whilst maintaining class and humility which is why they're so ridiculously popular above everybody else.

 

[Munich]

Agree I have felt similar since the Federer retirement. Like the look of Shelton as an up and comer but not at the level yet where he will consistently go deep in Grand Slams. Federer was something else when it came to watchability

There will be no one like him imo.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Yeah no problem very confident on that one and if she doesn’t you have to put Novak as yours lol

Can I back out of this due to too many beers.........

 

[BobbyMorri]

There are other threads to discuss who is the GOAT and all that jazz. Personally hope we won't have that sort of discussion tonight during the womens final on this thread. Please use another thread for that so as not to derail the rest of the tournament

No no you can’t lol there’s never too many beers

I can’t even.

I can’t even.

off you guys go to the GOAT thread

 

[danstar]

Muchova will be a great and deserved winner in tonights final, she has the same class and skill as a certain A Barty. Should be a good final regardless tonight

 

[Munich]

I can’t even.

Feel free to ignore and I'll do the same. The button is definitely coming in handy through this tournament.

 

[Munich]

Comon muchova!

Does she have the legs - I'm not sure after the Saba battle.

Why would I ignore you? I love reading the melts. You’re essentially ignoring me because I’m a Djokovic fan, right.

 

[Romeoh1]

Does she have the legs - I'm not sure after the Saba battle.

Yep- she might struggle- but she’s tough. Plays an interesting game so I hope she does well.

blah blah blah, good grief why does it always end up in an argument, who friggin cares. I love Roger but even I got a bit bored of him. Rafa he annoys me with his ticks and taking so long to serve but he is a nice guy. Novak he has his detractors but he is also a nice person and means well. I like how he thinks outside the box not everything is black and white. So what if he puts it out there that he wants to have the most GS isn't that what you play for.
Ok now for tonight's match I think Iga will win but I hope it is competitive. Hoping that Muchova legs have recovered and she is 100% fit to go. I feel it will be more competitive that last year's final.
Feel for Carlitos but he is young and will get over this hiccup (YS he will win probably next year). His coach JCF will see him through it. Onto Wimbledon for him and maybe some downtime to chill out and destress. At least he has hit the shot of the year.

 

[danstar]

i reckon Muchova is a sneaky chance, will not be surprised if she gets up

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Iga wins but at least we don’t have the excruciating labour Sabalenka puts us through. Muchova is quiet haha

 

[JamisonRun40]

I can't believe how much muscle Sam has lost by not playing. Two great sets of tennis last night. Carlos will be learning for the next few years and so he should be. He is only 20.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Why do we have to recap the men matches when the women's match is about to start.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Ruud thinks playing Rafa in the final was tough he will find Novak even tougher.

 

[JamisonRun40]

I'm really annoyed no wonder women's tennis is suffering when you have commentators not talking about the women's final instead still banging on about the men's final which is tomorrow. I haven't heard how Muchova cana beat Iga how the final will unfold etc etc.

Agree especially when they have an hour show before the game tomorrow

 

[JamisonRun40]

I bet they don't give the women's final that much air time.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Iga easy for me.

I am concerned about Muchova recovery. Also, the key to beating Iga is to outpower her. I know Muchova more "crafty" but she still has weapons, but on this court and surface, i dont think she will get Iga off her baseline and from her comfort zone.

This is as close as we ever going to get to an Iga v Barty match at the French Open. So it might be an interesting "what if" if it turns to be a contest.

I am happy that both players have made the final. Heres hoping Muchova can keep fit for now on. She is the same age at Elena Rybakina

 

[JamisonRun40]

I thought Muchova was a bit older at 26

checks google

yeah.....you might be right. What is 3 years though,.
