It sucks compared to all other 3 slams. They can start improving the slam by getting lights on every court. And it would serve them well to sweep the courts after every changeover and not just every set
Definitely. Also the ol' lack of crowds at the French and the diabolical corner seating angles. I recall years ago it was a French status symbol to sell/buy corporate boxes and then just not actually go. I wonder if the organisers have tackled those audience issues?
This gentleman decided to do some painting while a match was going on, so probably.

Is Andreescu wearing a black and white sweat shirt with skeletons weaving swords...damn girl ;)
This is a good match against Bouzkova.

Tomic with the antics again...match point for the opponent,Tomic's serve is returned very close to the line,it's called out but he believes its in and decided that that's it,he doesnt want to play anymore,concedes the victory lol...

What's sad is that Fritz's victory over Thomas the Tank was the only first round match an American man won. The other 9 American men in the tournament lost their first round. Still a sad state of affairs for US tennis but especially on clay

Osaka, Nishikori, and Nishioka all won their first round matches.
Solid work lads, 3 Aussies through -
1. De Minaur
2. Popyrin
3. Thompson
Good effort for a 4 sets loss by Ebden.
Great effort by Millman against 5th seed Zverev to do down in 5 sets with 2 tie breakers too!
Shithouse effort against unseeded Fritz by Tomic. LOL. I take pleasure in this wanker doing shit. I know it makes me a lesser man but small pleasures and all that.
As for the ladies, bloody well done again, really being consistent with multiple Aussie ladies recently. Impressive by -
1. Hon through in 3 convincingly.
2. Barty showing her 8th seeding being real.
3. Stosur shakes her first round unseeded wobbles off, still struggled with a tie breaker in the 2nd set.
Poor Gav having to retire in the 2nd set.

Bencic has fallen back to Earth as expected. No one in the WTA can assert themselves for longer than a couple months

And considering a lot of those losses are to either Djokovic or Nadal, I bet the number of unique opponents he has lost to at a grand slam is very small. Probably well under 20
She's been really solid this past month. Was really impressed with her run in Rome (I think it was Rome).

Why do the French crowds get pissy when play is suspended due to darkness? It's their own damn fault for not wanting lights so they can "preserve tradition" and keep the local neighborhood free of light pollution. I guess complaining about something that's your own fault is peak French. How about just move the slam out of France and in to Spain and see if that makes the French happy.
osaka has seemed wobbly all tournament, was inevitable.
djokovic and nadal should just play the final and ignore the rest of the draw.

After all the hype she got after winning two straight slams....

Down a set and a break so obviously she will come back and win
yup, here we go
EDIT: crowd is booing Kenin, it's all over for her
Woop woop! Great game from Kenin.
Actually thought Williams was gonna make a comeback for a while there.

She hasn't had that same comeback ability since giving birth. Not everyone can be as great as Kim Cljisters
Osaka beaten by crybaby Siniakova...oh well.
Did you guys see Kenin's service,the way she is still looking at the ground after her throw in the air...I dont remember her doing that before this tournament...anyway,seems to be working for her.

Djokovic is low-key going for his 2nd career Nole Slam. I actually give him a fighting chance at getting it.
