• RG 2026: Shock of the Year, Sinner out!!!

    Hello!

    Sinner lead 6-2, 6-2, 5-1 and was almost there. Then
    he got sick and lost in five sets. He was so ill it
    was terrible to watch, he got absolutely nothing done
    and won only two games, being barely able to walk.

    I have been so sure that Djoker will never win
    another GS singles titles, but now that both
    Alcaraz and Sinner are gone, I guess it is safe to
    say that the 39-year-old veteran is among the
    favourites to be the champion in Roland Garros
    this year.

    If I remember right, Djoker could meet Zverev in
    the semis. My best guess at this point is that
    that match will be the "real" final. Whoever
    wins it, will win the final too, right? With his vast
    experience, I believe more in Djoker than in
    Zverev although it could go either way.

    What a shock this is! But it is what it is,
    you have to stay healthy to make it in tennis!

    Cerundolo, the cruelest man in tennis. He should of given it away when
    he was still playing second fiddle.
