Noooooooooooooo

I cannot deal with a Djokovic win

DJP, Thursday, 28 May 2026 14:21 (one week ago)

zverev is now over 30% to win it here

I can’t deal with a Zverev win, either

Come on *checks notes* um… anyone but Djokovic or Zverev I guess?

DJP, Thursday, 28 May 2026 15:28 (one week ago)

Just saying that on the French Open thread. The men's game was depressing but Alcaraz and Sinner are great champions and nice ppl.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 28 May 2026 20:22 (one week ago)

Blaming climate change

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 28 May 2026 20:23 (one week ago)

Ruud, Cobolli, FAA, we got options. Or Kouame to pull a Michael Chang! Fingers crossed for Fonseca tomorrow.

Swiatek has dodged a bullet with the exit of Ostapenko, but still a rough draw.

Michael Jones, Thursday, 28 May 2026 22:25 (one week ago)

I am bemused that FAA is the highest men’s seed left in the draw

Whatwhawhawhaehawhahwawhawwww (DJP), Friday, 29 May 2026 03:02 (six days ago)

djoker and zverev ahead of him

andrew m., Friday, 29 May 2026 14:29 (six days ago)

perhaps you meant in the top half

andrew m., Friday, 29 May 2026 14:30 (six days ago)

Yes that is what I meant

Whatwhawhawhaehawhahwawhawwww (DJP), Friday, 29 May 2026 14:48 (six days ago)

Djoko in the 5th against Fonseca, after being two sets up!

xyzzzz__, Friday, 29 May 2026 17:58 (six days ago)

Oh yes

Michael Jones, Friday, 29 May 2026 18:56 (six days ago)

Hell yeeah

xyzzzz__, Friday, 29 May 2026 18:57 (six days ago)

3 aces to finish! wow

andrew m., Friday, 29 May 2026 19:01 (six days ago)

Now we just need a wild night session crowd and Quentin Halys to make this the best Slam first week ever (and I like Sinner).

Michael Jones, Friday, 29 May 2026 19:16 (six days ago)

Oh thank god

Whatwhawhawhaehawhahwawhawwww (DJP), Friday, 29 May 2026 19:29 (six days ago)

wildly impressive by zach svajda, takes out fran cerundolo in 5 after being up 2 sets to 0

johnny crunch, Saturday, 30 May 2026 12:13 (five days ago)

That’s quite a result. I had high hopes for Sakkari this week but she’s gone too. Cobolli yet to drop a set. Might still be ITALIA.

Michael Jones, Saturday, 30 May 2026 12:16 (five days ago)

plays coboli next in rd of 16 who looked scary vs learner xp

johnny crunch, Saturday, 30 May 2026 12:16 (five days ago)

Good to see Osaka doing well.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 30 May 2026 12:20 (five days ago)

Berrettini 15-13 in a breaker after 5h11. If Landaluce can pinch this 4th set vs JM Cerundolo, they’ll go beyond that.

Michael Jones, Saturday, 30 May 2026 17:00 (five days ago)

tuff for american women -- anisimova, coco & jovic all out -- all v good matches

johnny crunch, Saturday, 30 May 2026 18:13 (five days ago)

yeah jm cerundolo/landaluce just crossed 6 hours on court

johnny crunch, Saturday, 30 May 2026 18:14 (five days ago)

JMC wins. It's up to Arnaldi-Collignon to raise the bar now. They've had an 85min set. No one wants to go home.

Michael Jones, Saturday, 30 May 2026 18:17 (five days ago)

And Kouame almost forced a fifth vs Tabilo.

Michael Jones, Saturday, 30 May 2026 18:18 (five days ago)

im worried theres no way the second week of this tournament can live up to this first week

johnny crunch, Saturday, 30 May 2026 18:25 (five days ago)

Good grief, I missed Coco's exit in all this marathon madness. (Can't see any of this, btw - thought about a month's subscription to cover the UEFA club finals too, but nah).

Michael Jones, Saturday, 30 May 2026 18:27 (five days ago)

the atp seems to say the jmc/landaluce match was only 5h 58m; my score app said 6h 03m

johnny crunch, Saturday, 30 May 2026 18:36 (five days ago)

We may have the same score app! Happy to round it up to six hours. Wilander-McEnroe '82, Clement-Santoro '04, it's the magic mark.

Michael Jones, Saturday, 30 May 2026 19:06 (five days ago)

And now Tiafoe has recovered from 0-2. FAA not there yet, and may go the distance.
Cobolli the only winner today in the men's singles who didn't have to go at least three hours (not even two!). Three matches >5h.
Mboko-Keys also an epic. But only the third longest women's match of the day.

We've also had some mad scorelines this first week. Medvedev trading 6-1 sets in his loss. Kalinskaya and Mensik winning after suffering a bagel; Tien handing out two either side of a 2-6.

Not sure I've seen anything like it.

Michael Jones, Saturday, 30 May 2026 22:15 (five days ago)

Yeah many bagels in matches. Wonder if it's the heat and the player just giving up the set to move on to the next..

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 31 May 2026 07:58 (four days ago)

"nine men's singles third-round ties to go to five sets - breaking the Open era record of seven"

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 31 May 2026 08:00 (four days ago)

Iga dumped! Kostyuk has been on the rise..

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 31 May 2026 11:23 (four days ago)

Cirstea -- on her retirement year -- now in her first slam qf!!

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 31 May 2026 11:30 (four days ago)

I missed the fact that Ruud saved MPs vs Paul. Hope Osaka can beat Sabalenka, and for a Zverev exit before the semis.

Michael Jones, Sunday, 31 May 2026 11:30 (four days ago)

Sorry Cirstea has appeared at RG qf before (17 years ago)

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 31 May 2026 13:14 (four days ago)

Jodar has come from two sets down and has broken Busta in the 5th

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 31 May 2026 14:46 (four days ago)

Fonseca's gonna be pretty good I think

symsymsym, Sunday, 31 May 2026 19:25 (four days ago)

Mid level guys like Rublev and Ruud with a higher ranking area losing to the new blood.

Mensik has just beaten Rublev in 5. Fonseca is up two sets rn..

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 31 May 2026 21:16 (four days ago)

mensik/fonseca
zverev/jodar

is a great qtr finals

johnny crunch, Sunday, 31 May 2026 22:56 (four days ago)

This Tiafoe/Arnaldi match is kinda something. (Need to duck out so I probably can't catch the finish.)

Ned Raggett, Monday, 1 June 2026 21:46 (three days ago)

foe losing that 4-5 deuce pt 5th set was bruuutal

feels criminal that didnt go to a match tiebreak

johnny crunch, Monday, 1 June 2026 23:10 (three days ago)

Sadly had to switch off Tiafoe Arnaldi after the 3rd. Brutal indeed

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 2 June 2026 11:19 (two days ago)

Kostyuk has won the first against Svitolina. She's looking really really good

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 2 June 2026 11:19 (two days ago)

But then Svitolina plays more aggressive and Kostyuk goes off a notch and we are on a final decider where breaks are exchanged

Brilliant matchh

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 2 June 2026 11:58 (two days ago)

Too good, Kostyuk. Really pulled away..

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 2 June 2026 12:20 (two days ago)

Felt this might be a little too soon for Jodar to pull off a match like this. And Mensik/Fonseca have played themselves into the ground and will probably go four hours tonight. Meh. Flavio or Felix maybe.

Michael Jones, Tuesday, 2 June 2026 14:46 (two days ago)

Fonseca and Mensik don't have enough experience. Zverev should get to the final. He is playing solid.

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 2 June 2026 17:40 (two days ago)

"So many players in the top section have been embroiled in marathon matches, not least Italy’s Matteo Arnaldi, whose 17 hours 54 minutes on court to reach the last eight is an open-era record by, astoundingly, over two hours."

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 2 June 2026 20:24 (two days ago)

Mensik/Fonseca have played themselves into the ground and will probably go four hours tonight. Meh.

Yeah, feeling like it. I'm idly checking in here and there.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 2 June 2026 20:33 (two days ago)

Although I will say this third set has gotten more interesting as it goes.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 2 June 2026 20:55 (two days ago)

Fonseca hanging on - failed to serve out the third, has saved 13 break points in this set (6 of them match points). Tie-breaker.

Michael Jones, Tuesday, 2 June 2026 21:13 (two days ago)

Not a bad way to end it, really.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 2 June 2026 21:19 (two days ago)

v impressive by mensik.. w the pressure on zverev mensik absolutely has a real chance in that match

johnny crunch, Tuesday, 2 June 2026 21:20 (two days ago)

Straight sets and an extra day helps

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 3 June 2026 10:46 (yesterday)

Kalinskaya is the heavier hitter but she is going to lose here. She can't execute her tactics (had an argument with the coach) and took many Uses.

Chwalinska close to a slam SF..see if she tightens..

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 3 June 2026 10:49 (yesterday)

Does it. She is a tricky customer. 114 ranking, qualifier..

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 3 June 2026 11:06 (yesterday)

Shnaider maybe a Putin supporter but she can play. Came back from 4-1 down against Saba to force a decider.

Really dominating.

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 3 June 2026 13:15 (yesterday)

Shnaider is 3-0 up. Saba is totally gone. Too many UE and just can't cope with the play.

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 3 June 2026 13:32 (yesterday)

5-0

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 3 June 2026 13:40 (yesterday)

6-0, wow.

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 3 June 2026 13:43 (yesterday)

Kostyuk may have to beat two Russians for the title lol

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 3 June 2026 13:44 (yesterday)

FAA Cobolli hasn't had many fireworks so far at one set all though I am only half watching

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 3 June 2026 16:13 (yesterday)

Cobolli survived 10 mins on his own serve after breaking FAA in the 3rd

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 3 June 2026 16:43 (yesterday)

And breaks in the middle of the 4th. Cobolli is close

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 3 June 2026 17:17 (yesterday)

There will be an Italian in the final #teamItalia

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 3 June 2026 17:35 (yesterday)

Berrettini just retired. Real shame, you could tell throughout something healthwise was getting to him.
