Rd 3 part 1 predictions, all wrong M Djokovic - Etcheverry Mannarino - Shelton Fritz - Cerundolo Musetti - Tsitsipas Sinner - Baez Machac - Khachanov de Minaur - Cobolli Korda - Rublev W Sakkari - Kostyuk Woźniacki - Korneeva Garcia - Zakharova Fernandez - Gauff Andreeva - Parry Siegemund - Krejcikova Anisimova - Badosa Tsurenko - Sabalenka

Magda Fręch fighting hard vs Saville. Winner plays Osaka or Garcia here. But level of the game is rather low. Many unforced errors

And Саша Ззверев

Correction: Dokic reached QF in AO 2009. Still a great result though. so we met her in 2008 when she was well down in the rankings . She looked really happy that sb recognized her swh in Poland and she kept smiling when we told her we liked her Wimbledon matches a lot… really nice person, I wish her all the best

Exactly It was mentioned here many times before but I think it is important indeed that Iga’s father is an Olympian, he competed in rowing in Seoul 1988 and he was really disappointed with his result , he didn’t make it to the Final A. So I guess Olympics are important in thus family

I have nothing against Dokic, I would even say I like her and I was fan of her when she played. But we met her once here in Poland in Katowice when she was playing a small WTA tournament and we bumped on her in Pizza Hut of all the places and what can I say - it looked like she really liked fast food and social media. But back then she looked really sporty. I remember next season she played great at AO (she reached semis if I remember correctly) and I thought she will bounce back for good and have some more good results but it turned out other way. Anyway, a very nice person, we had a nice short chat at this pizza hut

I would prefer Olympic gold. you can win this one once in 4 years, you can win GS 4 times in one year i think here in Poland more people would cherish her winning Olympic singles gold in Paris than winning another GS title winning Roland Garros GS title this season may be easier for her because the pressure will be less even if you remember that Sabalenka and Russians may not be there at the olympics

Sabalenka looking superstrong. She is the main favorite here imo. The good thing for Iga is that such a situation may take some pressure off her. And still - whatever, who cares - it’s only AO, not Paris Olympics heh

That is why I like Wimbledon the most. the problem is Iga can’t play on grass. yet 😉

Sure. Still US open is even worse

Nope. They’re too busy eating their fast food

My early thoughts on 2nd places (almost champions) 1. France 2.Samuelsson 3. Hendricks 4. Morikawa 5. USA 6. Spain 7. China 8. China 9. Gauff 10. ??? 11. Sinner 12. Leclerc

I have another idea though. Who will be 2nd in all these events heh? 😉

And during Beijing 2022 I had time for it (not that many events to watch during winter games and some free time during daytime CET due to different timezones) i don’t think I will repeat this for Paris because… well… I will be too busy watching the games, you know but maybe some other user/users will do sth like that and still… there’s nothing better than Wumo competitions

I tried to do sth like this during Beijing and it was ok but Wumo does these things much better than me

Polish Open now: Linette vs Wozniacki 💪

So if the US don’t care about Kenin then… what’s the weather forecast for Tuesday daytime in Melbourne ? Three sets in heavy heat , not a good start . Here is a big hype on Świątek in Polish media . You can read a lot that it would be good to avoid Ostapenko in QF(she has 0-4 record against her or sth). Right, but first she needs to get there. Kenin and Collins/Kerber is not an easy start. And Sabalenka plays today in the evening so she will have more time to rest from the beginning

Ok. But Anisimova didn’t look good in the lead-up either coming back to the tour after a long period good for me that I’m not a gambling man heh

And Rublev survives this one. No NO TO WAR signing this time though.

I must admit i am surprised with this result . I haven’t seen it coming at all

Iga Świątek plays first match on Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday. 2 a.m. CET. Brilliant Either it is a good time for American audience to watch Kenin and that is why they chose such a schedule or it is another proof that ITF/WTA is just not happy that some random girl from Poland is no.1 and they don’t think she can generate good viewing stats even when she plays against such a strong opponent

And there will be 5 sets in Rublev vs Seyboth Wild match

Any fresh news on Kilde in the morning?

Matteo Berrettini withdrew. Tsitsipas will play vs LL now - Zizou Bergs BEL

Seyboth Wild playing really good in 3rd and 4th sets and suddenly a bit of trouble for Rublev
