My favourite Grand Slam is here!! I love it because of the night matches. Hopefully we'll see a lot of 5 setters that end around 12am.

A match I truly enjoyed. Last time I enjoyed one was when Thiem played.

What a disastrous Madrid with all of these injuries, retirements, and withdrawals.

Injury is difficult to contend with but it looks like Lehecka had an absolute fit.

Another potential retirement. A bummer but not wholly unexpected:

 

Reports in Austria that Dominic Thiem is planning to retire in Vienna this year.

Already started to tell his sponsors.

Very sad if true but not surprising…https://t.co/VCPHQBp5ww

People talk about “quiet quitting”. Apparently, Camila Giorgi has quietly retired.

This is unsettling.

T2 has some (no doubt limited) coverage of Roland Garros right now. It’s free and since tennis coverage hasn’t been comprehensive or truly accessible for a decade, T2 is enough for me.

I was watching some of their coverage. Peacock as well had coverage today. 

T2 will have the better matches tomorrow.

Coverage tomorrow will also be on NBC starting at 11 am eastern.

Why does it look like they are about to kiss?😂
