It seems to me that these two are now the
hottest clay court players. Nadal against
De Minaur looked pretty slow and powerless,
with only occasional bursts of brilliance.

I am pretty sure that Nadal will not win
Roland Garros in 2024 or ever again.

Potential RG champions: Zverev, Tsitsipas,
Ruud, perhaps even Rune even though he
got trashed today by J-L Struff. Oh
and of course Djoker is among the best
still and could win.

Hopefully Ruud sheds the nice guy persona in the final and plays dirty.
Depends how tired Tsi is but he'll be fave again.

Rybakina will beat Marta 62 62 for the porsche.

I forgot to mention two extremely srrong candidates
for a RG victory: Alcaraz and Sinner. It is self-evident
that they could win it all. Nadal is nowhere near
his best at the moment. There is still some time
to improve, though.

Rybakina will beat Marta 62 62 for the porsche.

I see.

That seemed the most likely outcome out of all the possibilities for
this particular match - Ryb serving big and confident, Marta nervous and overthinking so 2 breaks per set.

Rybakina is probably my favorite female player right now.
