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

[PhiEaglesfan712]

yeah,, Gael may have more IG followers than Stan.. but Stan is going to be a HOFer.. that has to make a difference.. Gael had a big opportunity at RG 2009 and I dont want to even mention that clown show he put on at the USO a few years ago against you know who.. Nole

Believe it or not, 2016 was ten years ago. I'm more annoyed by the electrical malfunction in the 4th set of the Murray-Nishikori match at that US Open. If not for that, Murray probably beats Stan in the semis and wins the US Open. (Andy was really on a roll at that time, having won Wimbledon and Olympic Gold.)

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

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW,
I know a lot of people have been impressed with the 17 yo Frenchman Moise Kouame, he became the First player born in 2009 to win a GS main draw match after defeating Cilic 76(4) 62 61

Trying to watch Sinner, but hard! He's literally just whacking at the ball; swinging as hard as he can! I know it's the trend, but IMO "boring AF!" --

Noone is forcing you to watch Sinner, why dont you go and watch re runs of your idol Novak, who has also been called Boring and Robotic LOL!

This guy is giving me Thiem vibes, gamestyle similar. FAA in trouble here chasing the break. Pity he could not capitalize after that crazy winner on Altmeir's smash.

edit: FAA levels the match.

Agree Don, I thought this was a hard first round match for FAA and I thought in the 5th set Altimaier who was leading 4-2 in the 5th would go on with it, 5 all now

Altmaier playing a poor TB for the 5th set as FAA leads 4-1, finding his 1st serve, returning well

TB was a nail biter. Great win by Felix in the end. Really good battle, enjoyed this 5th set.

Okay I have tuned into the match between Fonseca v Prizmic
Primzic won the 1st set 63,
On serve in the 2nd set 4 games all
Impressed by Primzic his serve at been 'on song' and Fonseca is finding it hard to get a read on
Primzic such a good ball striker and he breaks Fonseca with a great bhand return
Primzic will now serve for the 2nd set 5-4
Primzic leads 2 sets to love 63 64 and his level from the start of the match remains high, hasnt faced a single BP so far,
Fonseca taking a bathroom break, Fonseca had some costly errors at the wrong time

 

[don_fabio]

Prizmic in control right now with 2 sets up lead. He is playing with a lot of confidence recently and having some kind of a breakthrough moment. This is still far from over.
