The more tennis on the court is what Novak needs so it's not that big a deal. He is getting better, that third set was more like it

Genuine lol at Gauff. Honestly that forehand seriously, even Bouzova knows how to beat this girl, literally all she did for the last two sets send it to the forehand

Kalalina ultra impressive against Keys too
Carlos has to be careful I get it he wants to play tournaments but the top players schedule their year so they aren’t burnt out by September. Looked exhausted last tournament despite winning

Alcaraz gone! Look, probably will be a good thing for him moving forward because another deep run would’ve taken more out of him. But the blueprint is there to beat him, you just have to be super aggressive and hit every ball flat and deep. Easier said than done but that’s what this guy did, it’s what Sinner does. I thought maybe he took it easy tonight, but I honestly don’t think he did. Maybe the patience wasn’t there, but he still ran like a maniac after every ball.
Kudermetova won! QF here we go!

Once you get to the top you have to be so careful with schedules. Novak is a great example how to schedule even in his peak years never played week after week. You need breaks. Alcatraz looked exhausted last week, should never ever have played. Yep the ones that trouble him hit it flat so you have to be prepared to miss against him.
Carlos should just aim for winning ATP 500/1000 every two weeks and use the points as bank. No reason to be playing every week in countries like Brazil or Mexico.
That’s the shock of the season tbh. World number 135 defeats world number 1

He has a big chance to win French with Nadal possibly not even going to risk it and Novak’s ‘weakest’ surface.
Very interested to see how he does on grass.

A common misconception. His weakest by far is US hard. If Nadal wasn’t there he’d have 5+ French opens. He’s easily the second best claycourter but he’s had very little match play. Think Novak lost to Nadal 3 or 4 times at the French.

Novak is good on clay I agree.
But there were players who could match or beat him on clay which just wouldn't happen elsewhere. Thiem is the obvious one. I am not sure that would happen at the US Open.

Whilst true and this comes from watching more of him, those US courts don’t suit Novak a single bit. It’s why I do feel he’s more likely to jag another French than a US Open

That was sublime!
Broken back but with that smash…I think Novak will be roaring soon. And now Norrie decides to let out a roar, lol this clown is going to be in for it.

Norrie is like an annoying cockroach you have to beat him won’t beat himself
Perfect match for Novak heading forward

Novak is so angry, he’s just biding his time to let out a massive roar. You can tell it’s brewing and will be released as soon as he’s back in a commanding position.
