I am Italian,,I love him,,we call this Destino,,loose,maybe ,,French Open is a real test...sure hope he does

mrwilliams4051146d ago

He has to believe in his skills and fight harder for every point no matter what the score is. Forget the past and start with a fresh mind set of belief in himself.

neha.mnnit01151d ago

He has to continue having hope cause he can beat Jannik Sinner...the last match he played against Alcaraz in AO semifinal, he nearly beat him.....so I think he can do that again against Jannik and that was a really really interesting match ...

gabi.agro2151d ago

He already decided that he will loose before the match and dud nir even try . There was no fight for more points or winning some more games, just clear resignation. He is no fun to watch due to lack of spirit. I feel sorry for him.

peter.lynch155d ago

Absolutely! Has to be after what she's done on clay in 2026

callumdaviestennis155d ago

She can have a good run, but has yet to play anyone who is top top level on clay this season.

doknyx155d ago

Stand back: I predict Marta will win Roland Garros French Open!

doknyx155d ago

Zverev's time has come.

george.patten156d ago

Sinner - Although on this surface Zverev might have half a chance

callumdaviestennis155d ago

I don't see anyone who even comes close or who can challeng ehim

peter.lynch156d ago

Alcaraz will return with a bang 👀

george.patten157d ago

No - I’ve got a weird feeling he will slip up in Rome. Wouldn’t be too surprised if he does though

callumdaviestennis157d ago

Andreeva, but agree with George. Has to keep her head

george.patten157d ago

Andreeva - If she can keep her composure

vvenkateshwararao85150d ago

I feel like Mirra Andreeva lacks the killer instinct to win very important matches. Unless she develops it, she will not become a champion. May be upto semifinals good for 2026 and 2027.

vanhunks69152d ago

Iga has history of the tournament. She is more likely to go deeper than Andreeva in my opinion.

r25459547152d ago

YES

quanp0394d ago

Fils

camerondesc1158d ago

Jodar for me, he's the real deal

matthew.johns158d ago

I would go with Arthur Fils, especially as he is good on both clay and hard courts!

salvi767676126d ago

I remember saying jodar will win the french open

fabiorod001157d ago

Jodar will now start experiencing the exact same thing Fonseca did last year... outilier, unknown, shinning.. until players starts to crack his code and all kinds os pressure hits him. The4e will be ups and downs. Tough life

johnverrall11158d ago

Not yet and given the sample size, I think it’s still a stretch to say that he will ever get to that level

kilham.max159d ago

Baptiste was unbelievable. Not sure we can criticise Sabalenka too much. 7.5/10

george.patten159d ago

7 - Not a bad performance by any means, just not enough to beat Baptiste playing the match of her life!

peter.lynch159d ago

7/10... Baptiste was outrageous!!

♥ 1

matthew.johns158d ago

I could definitely see him in the final, but don't count out Fils!

gpnym24158d ago

No

peter.lynch159d ago

It's looking that way right now, but still have to favor Jannik!

matthew.johns160d ago

Definitely not his best, but still a very high level and more than enough to beat Norrie!

kilham.max160d ago

Absolutely! It is rare to see him lose concentration like he did against Norrie

george.patten160d ago

It wasn’t his best performance, but with Alcaraz out - Does he need to play his best?

mrwilliams4051156d ago

I think Arthur Fils will win a masters 1000 tournament soon. He is doing all the right things to put himself in contention for a masters 1000 trophy, possibly a grand slam winner. He has all the right tools and knows how to use them. If he stays healthy there's no telling what he could do.

peter.lynch160d ago

I think Gauff... could be a damaging one for her confidence at an important part of the season

matthew.johns160d ago

I would say Swiatek, if she doesn't do well in Rome then it is clear there are real issues!

fabiorod001157d ago

Jodar was the BEST thing that could have happened to João in terms of his career.... PEACE, FINALLY!!!! Jodar will now be the "new Nadal", the "new Big Three", the "new #1".... all the pressure will be on him and João will now have the "life of Fils, Mensik and Tien". HALLELUJAH!!

pzfswb58j9160d ago

It’s very early in both players’ careers but I do believe that Joao has the better game. That could change even in the next couple of weeks, especially on clay, which can be determined in a matter of time.

pzfswb58j9160d ago

No. Joao Fonseca will not lose often against his generation and will climb in the rankings also playing top 10-20 players. Love this kid!

vanhunks69153d ago

No.

callumdaviestennis161d ago

Illness can happen to anyone, but Rome is her last chance to show anything on clay before RG. Needs to show up

liam.mcmillen163d ago

Hard to judge due to the retirement, but it's surprising how beatable she looks on clay now

♥ 1

liam.mcmillen163d ago

He's got the tools for a deep run, but he's so inconsistent on the clay

callumdaviestennis163d ago

I think Rome is so important for him. Needs a good run, could definitely make second week at RG though

george.patten163d ago

Third round? Would need a nice draw to make a deep run

royangana7466d ago

Maybe some in the non-filipino fans. But her in the Philippines with 110 million people the answer is NO! SHE HAD ALREADY ACHIEVED WHAT NO OTHER FILIPINO HAD DONE. That cannot be erased!

escandor.9158d ago

The problem with the fans of Alex is most of them are bandwagon followers, many of these so called fans didn't even know the game of tennis before they started watching Alex, so many know it all, predictions etc, just let Alex play, those saying she will be in the top 5 someday , just goes to show you they really don't know anything about tennis.

gabrielvelez393161d ago

I believed Alex can make it to the top if she constantly practice everyday of her time to observe what are her weaknesses before & ready to correct now.

liam.mcmillen163d ago

It's way too early for her I think. I do think Roig will be good for her in the long run though

chand44163d ago

I think Rennae Stubbs analysis of Iga’s game was on point. She is not hitting deep enough and that will hurt her especially with Sabalenka and Rybakina. Hope she proves me wrong.

callumdaviestennis164d ago

I think it'll take something special to stop Sabalenka AND Rybakina, although it'd be good to see Swiatek back to her best and see how she gets on against them two

royangana7465d ago

Her powerful returns more than compensate her less powerful serves. And she's young and still developing her serves.

callumdaviestennis164d ago

She can't win one with her current serve. If she finds a big upgrade, definitely though. She has that Gauff fighting spirit

teodz1984164d ago

Much easier to win matches when you can blow out your opponent. Takes less energy than 17 shot rallies

7/10🏓🎾💪🏾🇵🇭

peter.lynch166d ago

8/10, gotta praise a win like that no matter what!

george.patten166d ago

6/10 - Great job picking up the win, but Pavlyuchenkoca was nowhere near her best
