Norrie in a bit of bother v the Russian KK.

 

Djokovic v Nadal still looking likely in the 1/4 finals. 

 

Can anyone beat Iga Świątek in the ladies?

The Norrie game has been great, nearly every game going to deuce.

As 🇷🇺tennis player K.Khachanov beats 🇬🇧strongest C.Norrie, while 🇧🇾A.Sasnovich wins against glorified 🇬🇧E.Raducanu at #RolandGarros, @Wimbledon ban motives become clear. Big congratulations to both players!

He actually got a lot of heat from that here in Denmark, so hopefully he has learned from that. Impressive how he is performing at the moment. But I really do not follow tennis at all and is only aware because danish media show Holger Rune highlights constantly now.

This looks like it's going to epic between Zverev and Alcaraz. After the first 2 sets I thought it was going to he pretty routine for Zverev

Someone should probably of pointed out there’s no such thing as a Russian tennis player at the moment.

Alcaraz blew the 4th set tie break when serving for it.

 

Wasn’t a great one from either player in that but the standard generally was very good.

 

Zverev will be delighted to get through .

Novak missing that extra vaccine umph.

[Super_horns]

Nadal showing not ill effects from that long game the other day but then this is Paris...

[Jimothy]

Djokovic getting back into it a bit here.

[StanSP]

John Mcenroe can be as bad as McManaman for football for just totally inane and pointless chat.

Gutted he lost that - just not at his usual level today. Completely understandable at his age and with his lack of experience though.

They just cannot stop going on about Nadal's service time. He's been like it for years, he's not going to change suddenly during a big game. 

[The Horse's Mouth]

Could watch these two all day .

[Jimothy]

1 set a piece. Feel like there's a shift in momentum, but there's bound to be another at some point.

[kingfox]

The rate these two are going, we’re going to have a record of deuce games
