Nadal is probably still going to lose, but that last half an hour was quite fun

It would be funny if the crowd's support for Nadal annoying Medvedev turns the match around

I feel like 44 break points and 13 breaks for a match is a lot.

Alexander Zverev (24)

- Abused his ex girlfriend
- While that was playing out had a baby with another ex
- is constantly breaking covid protocols

a real treasure

edit: he was elected german athlete of the year this year btw lmao

edit2: his current girlfriend is a german "actress" who is known for speaking out against feminism and gender equality, and who called #metoo "an insult to real rape victims"

I've been avoiding the news lately for some reason, have Russian players been suspended from playing, or do they just give them blank flags and it's business as usual?

e: nm, just looked it up, it's the latter

Naomi Osaka broke out in tears and lost the match at indian wells after someone in the crowd shouted "Naomi you suck". While i sympathise with her mental health issues, i dont think this is the life for her tbh

Yes, I am very cereal.
It seems like she is quickly losing public sympathy for incidents like this.

Based on some of what Osaka said after that match, it seems like her ideal season is more similar to what Barty is doing now - be very selective about non-slam tournaments in the calendar (e.g. Barty is not playing at all in this current USA stretch). Osaka just had 4 months off which is a lot for a tennis player, so a loss like this isn't a huge surprise at this stage. If she can keep building and consistently make Quarters or Semis in the next few tournaments then her mental fortitude should improve as she becomes more comfortable on-court again.

Tsitsipas also had a 5-setter against Musetti, as did Alcaraz vs Ramos-Vinolas. I would think that these guys, all title contenders on paper, would want to clip through these early rounds as easily as possible. Those hours on court add up after 2 weeks.

Nadal and Djokovic meeting in the quarterfinals probably. Hope it doesn't make for a disappointing finals unless Alcaraz works some magic or something.
