Chat thread: 2022 Roland Garros. May 22 - June 6.
WINNER: Nadal (5). __________________________________ WINNER: Switatek (1). _________________________________ RESULTS HERE (ATP). RESULTS HERE (ATP & WTA). Order of play HERE. US TV schedule HERE. Event Winner Finalist Semifinals Quarterfinals Round of 16 Round of 32 Round of 64 Round of ...
And before you rush to use above as case against Nadal for being JUST a 'clay' player, here's something else:
There are just THREE people in the history of tennis who have won more non-clay Slams than Nadal: Federer, Djokovic and Sampras.
Nadal has won more or tied (Connors-8) than EVERYONE else.
So there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Nadal wins 2022 Roland Garros, there will be JUST two men in the history of the sport to win more career Slams than Nadal's titles at JUST Roland Garros. Can Sampras (14) take this latest hit to his ego?
For rock people, scratching around, what this means is freaking this: Nadal will have 14 Roland Garros titles. Only Federer and Djokovic will have won more Slams than 14. Federer and Djokovic are at 20. Geeeeeeezzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!! # Titles 21 Rafael Nadal 20 Roger Federer Novak Dj...
Even BIGGER problem?
If she fails to capitalize - BIG freaking time - like someone named Graf.
Switatek's problem: Higher she soars, higher is the perception (certainty?) of her winning SOLELY because of Barty's absence. H2h: 2-0 Barty. Both in STRAIGHT sets.

Quiz question.
Two players on the court @ a Slam match. Fan yells out: "He is a punk, you are a legend". Who are the two players on the court? Who is a punk and who is a legend - according to the fan? HINT: Both players belong to a club that houses players who have won more than 7 career Slams.

Right - 50%.

Heck, he may (will?) get his first one this season - with the 13th guy in the freaking draw.
Heck, how about winning the final after defeating Nadal?
Will that be good enough for you? Geeeeeeezzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!
One to pass No. 13 is already here?
And that's without inserting the fact that Nadal had to deal with TWO greats vs them facing just one on clay.
What shrinks Federer and Djokovic vis a vis Nadal the MOST?
Rationale for you (Federer and Djokovic) NOT owing a 'balanced' Slam count is because THE greatest clay player to ever play tennis stopped you at Roland Garros. But Nadal has a 'balanced' Slam count because THE greatest hard court players to ever play tennis COULDN'T stop him on courts not calle...
And the irony, coppery, steely and bronzy for Medvedev is that he would have defeated Djokovic in four sets in the final - if not in three.
The ONLY real (and obvious?) reason Nadal won 2022 AO - more importantly 2022 AO final.
Absence of Djokovic. Insert Djokovic and Nadal will have justifiable, logical, reasonable and worthy excuses to lose early - forget reaching the final - forget even more winning the final - forget even more more winning the final after being down two sets to love. You see when life is on the lin...

It's a typo. It should be 'Bronzed Calendar Slam' and not 'Golden Calendar Slam'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MOST had to or MOST wanted to win title(s) high profile players lost to the MOST unlikely opponent expected to beat them.
Djokovic lost to Busta @ 2021 Olympics in what semifinals with GOLDEN Calendar Slam on the line. Tokyo OlympicsTokyo, Japan2021.07.26 - 2021.08.01 SGL 64 DBL 32 O Hard Total Financial Commitment Round Rank Opponent W-L Score Olympic Bronze 11 Pab...
Djokovic thinks he @ AO is Federer @ Wimbledon. Very big, in Djokovic's case very LONG mistake.
Root of Djokovic's problems @ 2022 AO, the tour and his entire freaking life.
He refuses to reconcile with being a 'lesser' man. There is a reason why Sampras didn't behave like Roddick. Oh, what did you say? 'Sampras is a good man'? Already then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Click here to know what this BS means.
Think he 'got' Federer with 'Not if they are fast enough' comeback!!!!!!!!!!

Wall Of Fame Contest.
ONE Djokovic feat irrefutably proves he is better than both Federer and Nadal in every respect including versatility, mental and physical toughness and everything else that makes a player 'untouchable' with respect to GOAT status. And it's not the second freaking Career Slam. First correct an...
WINNER: SCOTT WARREN.
Quiz question.
Name tennis player who attended one of the most prestigious universities in the world.
Federer's 40-15 thingy will hurt him until both(?) Nadal and Djokovic reach No. 22 on the Slam pole - based on above theory of missing the 'mark' by one?
How long will Djokovic's default @ US Open for hitting the lines-person hurt?
Until he gets to 21 Slams - and Federer-Nadal stay stuck @ 20? Rationale? He is currently thinking he should be @ 20 already. When he gets to 20 here or elsewhere, he will think he should be @ 21 already and the leader on the Slam pole. But when he is @ 21 and other two stay @ 20, the 'default' ...
Love watching players speak in their local language. She does it later in this video.
Angelique Kerber Semi-Final Press Conference | Wimbledon 2021.
Medevedev better beat Hurkacz otherwise Federer will meet Djokovic with a lot of Tomato Cans in his hands.
For rock people, what that means is freaking this: Federer will not be 'acclimatized' for rough weather in the final. Geeeeezzzzz!!!!!!!!!

Highest seed for Djokovic before the final will be No. 10 (Shapovalov) - if not No 17 (Garin)? And that's after two seeds have been eliminated and replaced by unseeded players in round 3 and quarterfinal.

Is the person next to Bill Gates a woman?????????????????????????????
ALL of Federer's friends - all three of them - are now divorced. Is that a sign? And all three were cheating on their wives? Translation: Federer - Wawrinka marriage????????
Gavin Rossdale, Gwen Stefani, Roger Federer Pictures. Gwen Stefani Cheers on Roger Federer.

Quiz question.
Name multi-Slam winner (ATP) who admitted to knowing which side of the court a certain other multi-Slam winner will serve when they played each other - based on what the player did while serving. And he was always right. Heck, name the serving player too. Heck, heck, describe what the player d...
Shouldn't scratching be deemed illegal @ pressers? How about pulling at your nose to first extend it beyond the already extended length and second to not provide the grotesque visual of what you are attempting to clear?
What about squinting to hear the question? People can hear it from another freaking continent. Or is it to brace yourself for the tough question? Geeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

Quiz question.
Name multi-Slam winner (ATP) who demanded a certain other multi-Slam player (ATP) to surrender his Slam titles because he admitted to 'cheating'. Heck, name the 'cheater' too.

How about this:
Djokovic didn't dominate EVEN in his bedroom - the 2021 AO. Think that counts?

Do you find following a bit suspicious regarding Djokovic's 2021 FO title?
Here's some stuff that NEVER happened before: Nadal lost a FO match after winning the first set (97-1). Djokovic winning semifinal and final for a combined 8:30 minutes. One of them after losing the first two sets, other after losing the first one - to Nadal. That's when Nadal won all his five m...

Serena will reach the final without facing any of the top 14 players? If Azarenka loses in the next round, it could be top 19. And THEN she will be ready for Swiatek in the final? Get freaking real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
