It's about right. Nadal would still be a very heavy favourite if that is the final. I'd love Novak to win but he'd need to be at his absolute best to beat Nadal. Thought Novak was very average tonight against Zverev who is just a mug.

Novel's serve was below his best. Zverev is an above average mug with 31million in winnings and 11 tournaments at age 22. I think he will end up better than Nick K!

That’s not saying much as I don’t rate Nick K at all especially not more than the odd week here or there.

Djokovic’s return was pathetic tonight he’d need to serve a lot better and hope Nadal isn’t seeing it like beachballs as he usually does on clay

SBS rights are restricted to what is served on world feed and network program schedule - Mike Tomalaris

So, that is a no to SBS broadcasting Ash Barty then. Think they are going to miss a bit of the Nadal/Fed match as well. Hopefully, in future years, they will start is broadcast earlier.

Good lord the schedule is a mess. They really need to fix up this tournament (I know the roof on CC should be going ahead soon), but lights on the other courts wouldn't kill them either. Where's the investment? Seems like this happens every year

They might not be allowed to have lights. Roland Garros is in the middle of the city. Or they could just be French.

What they shouldn't have done is sold sperate tickets for both semis, especially with no roof. It meant they were forced to have both men at certain times.

In actual sport fairness, what they have done is fantastic.

Just watched it on delay and that was a seriously impressive performance from ash. Have goosebumps watching her, shd controlled the match and really only had 2 poor points when serving it out the first time.

So happy for Barty, she is exactly what Australia needs as its tennis star.

She is a bad match-up for Anisimova, should win handily.

The tournament is really on her racquet. If she can keep out of her head, I can't see any of the remaining players having the tools to beat her.

I know it's a pain when you're watching on TV, but it is good when you are actually at Roland Garros. It is pretty much the last Slam that still feels like a small tournament. Ground passes are great value and there is plenty of moving around between the different matches.

Once they add the roof and lights you will get higher prices, a higher concentration of matches on CPC, and they'll add expensive night sessions that pick the eyes out of each day's play.

On form I have Konta an even money fav. She is in ridiculous form. That should be the final though.

Feeling nervous already, if play is not interrupted today it could be a historic night of tennis. We are going to have a new female grand slam winner and for each of the remaining men, they all have a big story if they win the title.

Fed wins - at his age, would be an incredible achievement. Slam 21 would be hard to catch. First player out of he, rafa and novak to claim a second career slam.

Nadal wins - #12 RG and would be 2 slams behind fed. The hunt would be on.

Novak - 2nd nole slam of 4 straight slams, first out of the 3 for a second career slam, #16

Thiem - 4 straight semis, first grand slam title, beating 2 legends to the title.

It's pretty bloody epic.
