Seeds 13-16 look significantly more beatable than a number of those in the 25-32 camp.
Ideal draw: Simon, Pouille, Raonic, Wawrinka
Nightmare Draw: JMDP, Monfils, Thiem, Nadal
Some nasty banana skins lurking in that 25-32 group!

I'm not going to hope for anything apart for Andy to start playing well. If he does that virtually nobody is a problem, if he doesn't then, sadly, anyone and everyone will be a threat to him. Horrible that a slam is here and I feel more nervous than excited for it, but I guess you never know, maybe the thought of moving towards his career slam will get Andy's motor running :peace::peace::peace::peace:

Phew that's as tough as anything I can imagine.
Yup Andy needs to get motoring!
He likes his back up against a wall - now's his chance to come out fighting!
He will really need to be on his game from the get go.
You can do it Andy!!
We are all with you!! :knight:

Draws are nearly always on the Friday before a Slam, normally around 11am.
Andy's kit for the French Open and I was hoping it would be the one he wore for Federer's exhibition. :shrug:

Radio five live are doing a round up of the French Open next Thursday (1st June) at 8pm (20.00pm).
This video was posted last night of Andy practising with Pouille yesterday and it doesn't make great viewing as most points end with errors from Andy and he does seem concerned but it being practice I thought nothing of it however from these tweets it would seem the practice session was discussed in L'Equipe this morning.
Mark Nixon @markalannixon
In l'Équipe today: piece on Murray practising with Pouille. Murray got a bit of a 'spanking'. Murray has had a bit of a cold the last couple of days, 'but that's not enough to explain things.' Emmanuel Planque, Pouille's coach, on Murray: "He didn't serve very well, he missed in neutral rallies, which is unusual. He doubts, thinks too much and is less spontaneous. When he as a half-court shot, he hesitates."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0pCUBUjDq4&
This is what practice is for, right?

25-05-2017, 14:03
Worrying nonetheless
Worrying too that he has picked up another virus - albeit a cold.
I am wondering if he has simply had enough? He has achieved so much, more than any other British tennis player since Fred. Sophia is getting older, he is missing her childhood, perhaps there will be another child soon. Other than Grand Slams - what else is there left for him to achieve?
He is getting older and with his back and the long standing knee problem, his body might well be starting to flag. I have never thought he would go on anything like as long as Federer.
If that's the case I would say - go for it Sir A M - he has nothing left to prove.

25-05-2017, 14:22
You have a point there Teresa. I was thinking along the same lines this morning. He has achieved so much and has nothing to prove.

I hope that Andy retires when he feels he has really reached his limits and I think he would hate if that were now when he was only 30 when so many players have played and are playing a lot longer than that.
themass15
25-05-2017, 15:13
It might be he needs some time out.
Andy definitely has nothing left to prove but somehow I don't think he is ready to quit yet. He has said several times that he would like to go on for a few more years and, selfishly, I really hope he does. For me, a lot of the fun will go out of watching tennis when Andy finally hangs up his racquets. I do agree that he probably needs some time out to recharge his batteries. It is worrying to hear him say that he is lacking in motivation and struggling to set new goals - that just doesn't sound like Andy at all. I would love to see him do well at RG but I won't be too disappointed if he goes out early. It would give him time to go home and rest before gearing up for Queen's and Wimbledon. I don't know what Lendl would think about that though - I can't help feeling that he won't stay around unless Andy starts winning again soon.

If he's taking antibiotics it's not a cold or a virus.

Oh dear poor Andy. Nothing seem going right for him yet this year. Hope he recover. Think he need long break get rid all illness and injury keep popping up!
I am not expecting he last long Federer carry on playing tennis cos I think Federer carry on few more years. Not looking forward time both Andy and Roger retire cos I be like who I cheer for???? Nothing new generation make me want cheer them. I watch much I can on normal TV but not same like Andy and Roger. I very glad Andy come along when Tim Henman near retirement so I don't need wait. Look like after Andy I don't see anyone take over yet.
HoopGirl
25-05-2017, 21:29
He definitely sounds run down and low in confidence.
Body and mind both need to work together to produce success.
Poor Andy. Maybe he needs a break.
If he's taking antibiotics it's not a cold or a virus.
They could be just giving the antibiotics to him just in case.
I feel the piece in the paper was rather unfair of Poulle's coach as I am sure none of Andy's team would say this. Sour grapes maybe as Andy always beats Pouille easily.
I agree with all you have said in your post, Teresa
HoopGirl
26-05-2017, 06:15
Andy still has so much more potential to give - he's not peaked and then suddenly that's it.
Where he is right now as world number one - requires new goals and a reworking of his motivation - and has unfortunately coincided with a spell of ill health and injury - provoked probably by his intense work last year and his intense training off season. His motivation will also be affected by his health - we go back to his sub optimal physical wellbeing - if you aren't feeling great then it's hard to motivate yourself - especially when that requires new goals that haven't really been imbedded yet. It's a real shame he's become number one and then had this bad run of issues because it's compounded his lack of belief in himself. The stats that are out about his performance being so poor compared to - blah, blah, blah just reinforce all of this. I expect Andy is acutely uncomfortable about being number one right now. He clearly has motivation - he's there practising in Paris. If he was really sick he'd be in bed. But it's this chicken and egg scenario - he needs practice and wins to play his way into form, and he needs to feel - not just better - but as a top athlete - he needs to feel sharp mentally with his decisions and physically strong - and have the confidence that his body will do what he needs it to do. Which with Andy can be a lot of running and hustling to get the ball back. Let's hope by some sort of miracle he gets some easy early matches and plays himself into form. Otherwise he'd be better taking a break and going to the grass. Hope to see you in the semis at Queens Andy!
I have one eye on the qualies at RG and they are preparing for the draw - must be at 11.
Fingers crossed that Andy has a good draw. :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo: :knight:
Yes, the draw is at 11 our time, being shown on Eurosport 1. Heather's match has just started on Eurosport 2.
They've started doing the draw.
Yikes! Andy v Delpo possible 3rd round.
4th Round:
Murray-Berdych
Zverev-Nishikori
Wawrinka-Monfils
Tsonga-Cilic
Raonic-Dimitrov
Sock-Nadal
Thiem-Goffin
Pouille-Djokovic
Andy's prospective route:
R1: Kuznetsov
R2: Lokoli/Klizan
R3: Del Potro
R4: Berdych
QF: Nishikori
SF: Wawrinka
F: Djokovic

26-05-2017, 10:45
Some good some bad. Obviously JMDP is not an ideal 3rd round opponent, but then round 4 and semis are good (if we can get that far). I'd have Zverev as the more likely QF oppo.
Very sweet draw for Djokovic.

A long run the week before is rarely a good set up for a 5 set match on the Monday.

Rafa looks straight through to the semis from the draw. Haven't seen Djokovic's.
From BBC
"Last year's runner-up Murray has won his two previous meetings with world number 85 Kuznetsov - in the third round of the 2014 US Open and again on hard court in Beijing last year.
And he told the assembled media in Paris that he feels "much better", following another bout of sickness earlier this week.
The world number one has been struggling with illness and injury so far in 2017, but insisted he is ready to make a real challenge at Roland Garros.
"I will be ready, for sure," said the Briton. "I just wasn't well for a few days. It happens to lots of players during the year just because of what we do.
"We are in the locker rooms with lots of players, lots of sweat, lots of germs, you know, in airplanes all the time. It happens.
"I practised for three hours today, and I feel fine."
From Nial Smith Design.....there are four designs, Andy's I will post here & the others I will post on their relevant threads.......

Since then Andy has met the media.
Evening Express (https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/pipe/sport/andy-murray-embraces-the-struggle-ahead-of-french-open-challenge/) - Andy Murray embraces the struggle ahead of French Open Challenge
Murray cut a frustrated figure in practice on Friday, shaking his head and throwing his racket, and made no attempt to disguise his difficulties in a thoughtful press conference.
He said: “The last few months have not been good, obviously. I haven’t played well. I had a few issues, as well. I need to accept that I’m struggling and then find a way to get through it.
“I will get through it, I’m sure of that. When that happens, I don’t know. Hopefully it happens in a few days. If it doesn’t, maybe it happens during the grass.
“But the only way to get through it is to work your way through it, keep working on your game, try and understand what’s not been going right.
“Although it’s very frustrating, you have to try to enjoy this part of what we do as well because the struggles are part of what make the good times so enjoyable.
“I need to enjoy my struggle a little bit just now and that will help me get through it quicker, I believe.”
If he's really not well, I wish he would just pull out.
Has Raonic been hanging around with Andy?
Tom Tebbutt @tomtebbutt
Berdych d Raonic 7-6(5), 7-6(2). Raonic woke up with 39 degree fever & played the match on a hot day on antibiotics according to French TV
Even though they're miles apart.... :big grin:

Confirmed del Potro will play RG......
Doesn't sound good. He must do what's right for him. He has done enough for us.
I like what Andy is saying. He doesn't avoid the truth. He knows he is struggling, but he is equally clear that he can turn this around...if not now in Paris, then perhaps on the grass. I still think that it's a good sign that he wants to play in Paris and is up for the challenges of RG. We all know now not to expect too much from him and we will certainly still be cheering him on no matter what. And if he does make it deep into RG, happy days and a wonderful bonus for him and us. I see more positive signs than negative ones.

Is Mark Petchey with ITV4 this time?
Great to see Petra Kvitova back on court and playing really well. She was very emotional when she won and no wonder. It was really good to see Marion Bartoli looking herself again too when she was doing the on court interview. Angelique Kerber is having a torrid time on court at the moment. She's a set and a break down against Makarova. Like Andy, she really has struggled for form since she became number one - I hope that's not a bad omen!

ITV 4 always show just the one match. But, if two Brits are playing at the same time (on different courts) they always try to tell the live score on the other one or try to show some of the other one.

Pouille 2 sets to 1 and a break down to Benneteau. His coach clearly should have spent more time on him than obsessing over Andy's performance during practice. :p

The resumption doesn't reproduce last night's drama. They play a single game and Olivio breaks JWT to get the win. Congrats to him on the match of his life, and while always sorry to see Jo leave any tournament, he did himself justice in the contest rather than go out tamely as I feared after the first two sets.
Feel for JWT - he is the only one other than Murray who has the stress of a home Slam.

What about all the other French players?? Kyrgios and Stosur at the AO too. However, I really like Jo and I too feel for him. Very hard to come back from 2 sets down anyway but to have to come out and serve to stay in the match cold must be a nightmare.

I forgot about those. I think it's more that whilst it's not been as long as 77 years, it's heading into decades now since a Frenchman won the FO. I also think of the current generation of French men, he has had the best chance. Kyrgios might get more pressure, now he has started to get his act together. The French crucified Jo a couple of years ago when he lost in the semis (I think). It knocked him off his stride for months.

I feel for Jo. It was not only in that match that the French turned against him, but also at the 2012 French Open when he played Novak in the quarter finals. I seem to remember Jo losing the first set and then taking the next two sets. In the fourth set he had two match points. Novak typically came back to force a tiebreak which he won. In the deciding set Jo lost after playing his heart out for more than four hours. It seems to me that Jo never fully recovered from that loss, and he has never been the same player since. A career that started with so much promise has definitely resulted in so much disappointment. He has had his moments tho beating Roger in Wimbledon after being two sets down and I was really happy for him when he won the Rotterdam title earlier this year. He has also won the Paris and Toronto Masters titles.
Jo is one of the characters of the sport and definitely one of the nicest.

Well... winning Masters Titles in the era of the big 4 is still something pretty special! Only happened 11 times in the last 10 years (and two of those to Jo).
He is one of the small group of players who would certainly have won more if the big 4 had not been performing at the levels they have mostly at the same time (or certainly times when two, three or all four were mopping everything up!).
Khachanov wins the first set against Berdych 7 - 5.

Andy chunters and becomes annoyed with himself and every commie and pundit is perturbed and spouts mealy-mouthed criticism. Double standards, bias and downright disrespect for our greatest ever player. Pass the sick bag Alice!
Maybe some empathy for Kyrgios.

Oh no, Goffin has taken a tumble and had to retire from his match against Zeballos. Didn't see it. Hope it's not serious, get better soon Goff.
Poor Goff has had to retire against Zeballos after tripping on the court tarpaulin at the back of court and he still won the point and was serving for the first set. Marion Bartoli blaming the long season and players being tired and not sure of their footing. :doh: I'd blame the perils of playing on smaller courts.
A gif of Goff's accident. (https://twitter.com/doublefault28/status/870581367205228544)
Meanwhile Dimitrov lost the first set to PCB 5-7 having been 4-0 up. It can happen to the best Dimi... :p
very happy chappie, carreno busta just beat dimitrov in straights, beaming ear to 'ere.
Was really sorry to see Goffin go. He was obviously in great pain...I hate watching the players suffer no matter who it is. Also another injury retirement, this time from Garcia-Lopez allowing Raonic through. He is making quiet and smooth progress! Poor Basilashvili (aka Bashasvili!). All he seems to know is BASH which is not working for him today against Rafa.
Goffin's looked pretty innocuous in that GIF.

Rafa through for the loss of just one game. Basilashvili probably fell into a temporary coma waiting for Rafa between points.
Hope Schwartzman can do better against Nole. Vamos Diego!

He caught his foot in the covers which meant a very sudden stop to his slide. Looked horrible to me.

Poor Diego, didn't deserve to go out this way, but some fight today, he can be proud, plus taken good bit out ofNole's mental and physical reserves.....but Rafa is main threat from this half, need someone to take a few lumps out of him....Dom Thiem, maybe... when are they due to meet?
Diego's just run out of steam but a great showing nonetheless.
Diego is injured. Such a pity match has to end this way.

It should come with a health warning. :ill: Doesn't make up for him berating the ball kids.
crowd gave him a great send off :clap::clap: which was nice , deserved it !
Goff's twisted ankle which also comes with a health warning. :ill:

Andy 2nd on Chatriere.
Kyle 1st on Court 2.
What a collapse from Pouille after winning the third set. ARV is no slouch :whistle: but Pouille was just a mess. All that hype and he's going to be nothing more than a poor man's Dimitrov. :p
Djokovic next for ARV.
Didn't see the interview but apparently ARV wouldn't let Santoro tell him who his next opponent would be. One of #Nolefam will be rushing over to break the news. ;)

Raonic vs Carreno Busta
Bautista Agut vs Nadal

Gasquet v La Monf now - perfect post-Andy entertainment to kick back and enjoy as neutrals. A great tennis day (even better if Kyle had come through, but can't have everything).
I fancy watching Stan and Foggy too. Could be dramatic! Oh maybe not! I've just seen that Stan is a set and 3-0 up!!

No more play today. So pleased Andy is safely through and tucked up in his hotel; Isner and Khachanov are only 6-5 in the first.

Khachanov takes fourth set on tiebreak to win, so will be Andy's opponent tomorrow.
Kachanov wins in four and will play Andy in the fourth round - pity it didn't go to five sets!;)
KK won in four, took the tb tho Isner, down 2 mini breaks, got one back with a dropper, but then gave away a second on a woeful dropper which didn't even clear the net. KK play Andy on monday?
well, the happy chappie beat the raygun, 8-6 in the fifth, 7th match point

Djok making heavy weather of it in the early part of his match against ARV. Just managed to stop himself going a double break down. 2-1 to ARV. No Agassi but the Guru is creepily beaming from the front row
Now back on serve but ARV with another break point.
.................. and ARV breaks again.

Domi two sets up against Zeballos and looking good. Imo he's the only player in that half who can really challenge Rafa.

Poor Kei really struggling after his titanic battle against Chung. Nando 4-0 up in first.

05-06-2017, 13:10
Kei battled back to take second set 6-4 and is now 2-1 up with break in 3rd. Good, good, a nice long battle is what's called for!
Looking forward to the Stan/La Monf encounter now - like both very much, would expect Stan to come through, but you never know, the home advantage may help Gael.
RosieBear
05-06-2017, 14:06
Stan takes hugely entertaining first set 7-5. Hope I'm wrong but feel it was must win for Gael, who will now fade a bit.
Kei took the 3rd set (also 6-4) and is now a double break up in 4th. What the heck happened to Nando?
Kei wins it :cheer:
I'd love to see him win something big !!!
( not his next match tho )
RosieBear
05-06-2017, 15:22
Oh my word. I take it back; Gael most definitely did not fade, but Stan does take the second set on tiebreak. Really tremendous match, and seems harsh that Monf is 2 sets down rather than set apiece, but I guess Stan snaffled the big points as the very top players do.
I think this is done. Gael now down a double break.

One is daytime session, other is evening session, reckon Rafa v Nole would definitely be the evening one, both are on Chatrier of course, Andy just needs to play like last year and Stan won't give him problems, Kei could be tricky first
The weather in Warrington is terrible, frequent heavy showers and gale force wind; just settling myself down for an afternoon of tennis (fingers crossed, weather in Paris not wonderful, they've got wind and rain too). And itv4 have come up with sub titles - well pleased - I'll be able to read all the nasty commentator comments! Rooting for Nadal
