I have a feeling Mayer will make life difficult for Roger.We are all set for R4. How come the two lowest ranked players left in the draw will play Rafa and Roger?
Londero is ranked 78 coming in, Mayer 68.

I think it works even better for Novak to be pushed, to have high quality opponents on the way to calibrate his game to the fullest. From what I've seen so far of all favourites he looks to me like playing the highest qulity tennis here and is full of confidence, but again I prefer him to win RG so maybe I'm not so objective.

Heard a press conference from Zverev. He looks to be very happy that he is currently away from the spotlight. There is obviously less pressure on him due to poor clay season and he admitted that it is a good feeling. He also kind of praised Tsitsipas for very good results on clay, so I was surprised to hear that. He seemed very down to earth at the moment.

A big part of his failures to date in slams surely was played by not being able to handle the pressure of expectations.
Perhaps going forward his results will improve.
However, he still has technically issues to address.

The guy who I am watching closely and is on the verge to break into the top 10 is KK. Karen could clinch a top 10 ranking if he defeats Delpo. That would also be his first quarter in a slam.

Thiem was kicked out of his press conference to make room for Serena who couldn't wait for him to finish.

Wow...as if I needed any more reason to really dislike this woman.
The organizers aren’t innocent here either. They allowed this, instead of telling her she had to wait.
If she HERSELF does not know she has to wait and needs to be told that, that is even worse, no?

It’s worse, yes. I’m just expressing how appalled I also am that they allowed her to get away with it.

They put both Fedal on PC for tomorrow.
But, only one QF will be on PC as per the tournament schedule.
If Paire wins his match, Nadal will be put on PC for QF. Paire being a Frenchie settles the issue without an iota of thinking.
Otherwise, I expect Roger to be placed on PC for QF (independent of whether he plays Perseus or Man).
I don't think Ralph beating up on debilitated Kei is worthy enough to be placed on PC.

At that point, wouldn’t everybody be able to play on PC, since the four matches would be played over two days?
