That was some drama between Georges and Makarova in set 1. I wonder if the German will bend in set 2...

Looks like we won't have a new champion of GS in men's singles for years to come 

What about Sasha Zverev? I know he sucks at GSs but you never know when he might actually make the magic happen.

I rank Medvedev and Tsitsipas on the same level, don't think it's that big of a surprise. Thiem for me is the one, that could be in trouble. 

I meant in terms of seeding and results on hard Masters this year. I think Thiem will not be that big of a surprise either if he loses to Johnson. Just look at his hard court achievements this year.

Tsitsipas is about to be eliminated. First big casualty of the day maybe.

Strycova on the way to double bagle Arruabarrena.

And on the bagel topic, Humbert's coach Champion seems to be the last tennis player to be on the receiving end of triple bagels at a Grand Slam during the 1993 Roland Garros

A quick bet: How many players will retire, because of the heat or an injury in today's matches?

 

My bet is 6 

I would say 6 too (after edit). The tough ones survived the first round.

With the heat on and so many players retiring, any result won't be a surprise today

At the moment it doesn't seem to effect her so much.  She won first set, 6-1  

She is doing great both at the net and the baseline. Pleasure to watch.

Kvitova's shoulder issues will probably have big effect on her first round match. Her serve is terrible. Two double faults in a row.

Pavlychenkova out too and this part of the draw is Serena's to lose

Wawrinka leading Dimitrov, easy upset prediction. Dimi is not top 10 level currently.

Wawrinka not looking good after the medical treatment. He seems to have lost a lot of his court movement.

Also Lorenzi close to upset Edmund... I have always considered him as a clay court player only but he proves me wrong every time at slams.

Elise Mertens in trouble... She is a strong slam competitor this year. I hope she can turn things around.

Svitolina will survive. Now I guess it's time for the first of the men's seeds to drop out. I cannot see Dimitrov winning this matchup... 

The spectators have gone mad shouting Simona. What an opener...

Halep struggling again in the opener. Chances to go home after round 1 for a second year in a row increase by the minute. Kanepi seems very solid on return.
