Roland Garros / French Open 2022 [Men] - Grand Slam

Other than the UFEs, Nadal will kick himself for only converting 5 break points out of 20 opportunities (25%).

That is Rogrer Federer like with the BP conversion rate lol!

By the way, there is a super-tiebreaker at 6-all at RG starting this year. So, Felix and Nadal do not have to worry about playing forever.

I would prefer Rafa to break now thanks lol!

I saw just saw this at Twitter: Felix has forced Medvedev at AO and Nadal at RG to play five setters. So, he is getting there, let's hope he can overcome the hurdle soon.

Serve it out Rafa....we have all suffered enough

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done to FAA he has really improved on the clay and pushed Rafa to 5 sets and he never gave up
I think he will be a force to play this year on the grass....well done young man!

So much for my prediction that Schwartzman could at least keep Novak on court for a bit. 2'15". Tennis channel didn't show any of it.

Didn't watch but Fox Sports was showing it around 8 AM ET, they've had maybe 4 hours of early morning coverage every day

Rafa taken to 5 sets by Felix, good or bad?
Match toughened or wasting too much energy for a near 36 year old in the 4th round?

The answer will be how he does against Djokovic.

I will say both. Bad in a sense that he is 36 years old so he should reserve energy as best as he can. On the other hand, it is good because the match gave him match toughness he needed before facing Djokovic.

I did wished he should have finished the match in 4 sets, but he is 36 years old so...

Apparently the 'powers that be' at RG will decide tomorrow if the q/final match between Rafa v Novak will be played in the day or night
Lets see who gets their wish

Rafa eeked out a win. He can now only play better than today, but I am not sure about his fittness and recovery.

Any idea how to watch the Alcaraz match in the US? It's not on TC or ESPN or NBC.

It is the Peacock app, Moxie. Unfortunately, you have to pay the subscription to watch the match.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am still not happy with the BP conversion rate Rafa 6/22 for the whole match

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The Kid please end this....your ball bashing opponent has no idea how to play on clay

I have it, but was too busy to watch. Thanks for the intel. Working madly, but will come back to talk about Rafa, FAA and Novak.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Just want to make a general observation,
To me the real competition starts in the QFs
Sometimes having a easy draw and not being challenged can go against you.
In saying that making the 2nd week, having matches in straight sets, bodes well at the business end of a tournament.
Playing on clay tests not only your physical state also your mental capacity.
