Roland Garros, Men's French Open 2026 - Grand Slam

[Jelenafan]

I think Carlos is better than Jannik so I’m not surprised when he beats him, but generally the men’s game now is too predictable. I know Rafa and Roger shared airtime before Novak came along but the narrative was different, given the age gap, and that Rafa was chasing Roger, who was default.

Now I want Novak taken out but actually he’s become a thousand times more dangerous. His eyebrows raised when Carlos withdrew but right now he’s crawling the walls, plotting excessively to get this title. And yes, he’ll cheat, lie and beat his granny to death, if he has to..

Less like this:

And more like this:

Sad news for Alexander Blockx who was practicing with Fonseca and fell at the back of the court and did his ankle and of course he had to withdraw in his up coming match against de Minaur. Blockx will travel back to Belgium and have scans. I hope it isnt serious

According to Yahoo Sports, Blockx is considering legal action for tripping over the court cover - largely because there were no signs warning to be careful of court covers. This sounds like one of those "There was no warning the coffee was hot before I spilled it" type of cases.

Yeah, who knew you could trip over something that can trip you up?

It seems like Blockx did not participate in our brain washing safety campaign onboard called "Slips, Trips and Falls".

 

[Federberg]

Thoughts?

Do you actually watch matches at RG so far, if you did you would know FAA has been struggling against lower ranked players full stop!

When Novak looses this slam becomes the Gaston Guido or Andres Gomez type of championship. Meaning someone who probably will never sniff another chance at winning another GS.. FAA has been playing down to the level of his competition. FAA is like owning Bitcoins, sometimes it is performing very well and other times it’s goes into the tank.

Ruud vs Tommy Paul . that should be a 5 setter

Ruud vs Tommy Paul . that should be a 5 setter

sure.. if it was hard court, or maybe American clay. We're talking about Casper Ruud here... isn't he a 2 time finalist at RG? Levels to this...

doesn't mean it won't be a 5 setter of course, but if they both have their druthers... should be comfortable for Ruud
