How embarrassing

Poor ranga can’t survive the heat

De Minaur wins the first set 6-0 then meekly surrenders the next 3 to go out to Mensik.

Fonseca knocked out Djokovic in 5 sets.

Wtf was that by Demon a bloke he’s never lost to and blows a 6-0 lead to lose in 4

And the salm wide open with Novak out

Demon has been underwhelming in 2025 and so far in 2026. He needs to quickly rediscover his form.

I suspect we’ve seen peak Demon.

28 next year and not getting any younger his biggest asset speed and agility will start to wain.

He’ll be disappointed. He’s only been in the top 10 for 3+ years and won $US25 million. Disappointing career really.

Enjoyed watching this match so much. Kostyuk is finishing her games very strongly.

Shnaider beats Sabalenka in 3 sets.

Andreeva (8) the best of a very much no name semifinals.

Andreeva to meet Chwalinska in the women’s final.
Chwalinska is a qualifier, ranked 114, but has knocked out 3 seeds during her journey this tournament.

“She came out of qualifying.
Didn’t think she’d go as far in the open rounds so she ran out of money for her hotel stay. Tried to negotiate an extended stay til the Polish Government stepped in and said, “uhh, we got ya”! Didn’t even have a show contract.

She just made $1.4 mil and went from #114 to #21 in the rankings.

Story of the tournament!”

Alexander Zverev defeated Jakub Menšík 7-5, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 and Coboli had a walkover in a French Open that isn’t reaching any heights.

Such a shame. He was called out for having no weapons or serve and wouldn’t make top 10.

Managed to do that and sustain it for a period of time, reached his potential and then some.

However he won’t be remembered or talked about and the Australian tennis community will still bring up flogs like Kyrigos as “what could’ve been” because this apparently has more weight than actual success.
