First time in almost a century only one French player made it to the third round....and it's a 20-year old low-ranked player who then kicks out a former winner and goes to the last 16 as well, week of his life If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

OlympicsFan 782 Posted October 4, 2020 #74 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I am surprised to see that the junior competitions take place. I am really excited to see what Fruhvirtová can do here. From a german perspective I hope that Vecic and Bartone will do well. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

We need more players with his style on the tour. I think there are more players like him, but they focus on the doubles (like he usually does too). Zverev vs. Murray at the Australian Open and Brown vs. Nadal at Wimbledon were some of the most entertaining matches in recent memory, so it certainly would be nice to have more unorthodox players. Sadly Monfils doesn’t do much anymore. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Really nice to see a tiny guy like him do so well. Maybe Schwartzman and Gaston will become the new „big“ two.

OlympicsFan 782 Posted October 4, 2020 #77 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Really interesting to see that the 4 countries that host a slam have only 2 players in the 4th round and both are no-names born in 2000 (Gaston and Korda). You would think that the countries that host a slam should have a better talent development program. Also interesting to see that 3 guys born in 2000 or later made the 4th round, but Auger-Aliassime, Kuhn and Molleker aren’t among them.

OlympicsFan 782 Posted October 4, 2020 #78 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Italy is doing a great job on the men’s side. I think they could win the Davis Cup in a couple of years with guys like Sinner or Musetti, although of course Canada, Russia and maybe the US will also have the potential to do it.
