In his post match pressor Zverev said he threw up 37 times. Not sure we needed to know this.
At least he didnt blame the balls and his opponent who only wins by mistakes ( Musetti in Rome)
So the reason he lost this time was because of illness
Zverev said, " I hope I'll get well again quickly"
"Nothing has changed of my goals for Paris. I can still be proud"
"I left everything on the court"

"I left everything on the court"

Did he threw up on court, 37 times? If he did that I'll root for him.

Ha! I have to say I thought the same when I read, "I left it all on the court." Ick.

Anyway, he still couldn't resist an excuse.

I gather from what he was saying he was sick before he took the court,
Zverev said he was throwing up 37 times during the night and had a fever of 39.4 degrees ( celsius), the normal temperature is 37c ( 98.6 F) , all night ,it was actually quite ok".
He also said,
:"If it had been another tournament in another country, then I certainly would not have played".

Rafa Nadal says that Carlos Alcaraz's Netflix Docmementary didnt represent Alcaraz's professionalism well enough.
" Knowing Carlos a little, I think the documentary dosent reflect his personlity or the way he lives his career'.
"He dosent come across as a tennis player who trains, but someone who loves to party, who needs that, and who isnt very professional - and thats not true".
Carlos is a great professional.He's a person who works very hard to take his tennis and his physique to the highest level.I think the documentary was misguied because people's perceptions of him are different from what his real life is like".

I love the precision. Hopefully he pays the same attention to his UFEs count... I honestly think it is easier to keep track of ufes than it is of urghs...

Arnaldi's trying to run the oldster to w/ dropshots! This is gonna be a long match for Dokovic! He's slippin'/slidin'! Totally uncomfortable!

He seems out of breath mid 1st set. Luckily Arnaldi is not playing too well.

Agreed! I thought his run in Miami had him on his way back, but Novak still looks out of sorts, winded, & unsure! Arnaldi's UFE's saving him!

 

[don_fabio]

Novak asking guys from his box to tell him where to stand on return. Dude, you have 2 dozen grand slams, I think you have a pretty good idea where to stand.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Arnaldi DF your way after having a break in the 2nd set .....
Scappy match Arnaldi can play much better than he has shown
Old boy who is 38 today out of breath in the 1st set

 

[don_fabio]

Now he is telling them to not look sideways, but to watch him all the time. What a birthday it is .

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Arnaldi's serve has gone AWOL in this match, usually it is very reliable, he has soo much potential, not showing it today and defeated Novak recently in Madrid

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak to serve for the match 5-4, Arnaldi serve again went AWOL when needed
Arnaldi you had your chance to take the 2nd set , your serve deserted you when needed

Arnaldi's game fell apart from 4:1 to 4:5 now and Novak to serve for the match.

Yep, a really scrappy match from both players quite frankly, the birthday boy will win the match,
