[Super_horns]

Well played, Jackie D.

The favourite v Ruud ?

 

[alikat]

The favourite v Ruud ?

Should be as he's currently the higher ranked player.

 

[Judio1999]

The favourite v Ruud ?

Has been to 2 finals at Roland Garros on clay

 

[Judio1999]

Women Final today

So Jack has a day off

Final is on Sunday at 530 pm

 

[shouldbee]

Just Brilliant

 

[JANORAK]

The favourite v Ruud ?

Didn’t JD beat him a couple of weeks ago?

 

[Gazza Bee]

Didn’t JD beat him a couple of weeks ago?

Think he beat Rune

 

[Untouchable]

Lost in 3 sets to Ruud in the final.

 

[Super_horns]

Lost in 3 sets to Ruud in the final.

Shame beaten by a good player on clay .

 

[Judio1999]

Some brilliant tennis
Twists and turns
Couldn't really tell who was going to win.

 

[Judio1999]

Casper Ruud is a brilliant clay court player
2 Roland Garros Finals already

 

[Judio1999]

No rest in Rome

Jack has been given an earlier start (Presume they want Sinner on Saturday ?)

He will know his 2nd round opponent as they play today and Jack's 1st match will be played on Friday
Projected draw
R1 Bye
R2 Bu or Darderi
R3 Baez (32)
R4 Rune (9)
QF Alcaraz (3)

 

[Judio1999]

Last on the 2nd court

Technically 5th match on from 10am Friday

 

[Super_horns]

Taken the first set in 22 minutes.

 

[Judio1999]

SuperTennis Arena
Play Starts At 10:00 am
Popyrin v Medvedev

Followed By
Raducanu v V. Kudermetova

Followed By
Draper (5) v (Q) Kopriva

 

[Super_horns]

Straight sets win .

 

[Judio1999]

Early start for Draper today at 10am playing Moutet of France

The whole of the ATP draw play today but only Draper's half play again Wednesday (explaining the early start)
The other half play later today and then again on Thursday

 

[Judio1999]

But he may have to play Alcaraz next after Moutet

 

[Bristolian Bee]

That wasn't in the script

 

[Super_horns]

Well played Jack .

Good comeback in a tough match .

 

[Bristolian Bee]

Alcatraz tomorrow. Jack has beaten him on grass and hard - will be some effort to complete the trifecta on clay especially with the short turnaround and so many recent matches in his legs.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Alcatraz tomorrow. Jack has beaten him on grass and hard - will be some effort to complete the trifecta on clay especially with the short turnaround and so many recent matches in his legs.

A fitting opponent, considering he got out of jail today.

 

[Holysmit]

Just broken Alcaraz serve in the first set.

 

[Holysmit]

Bang and the break is gone. Back on serve.

 

[Judio1999]

Alcaraz loses serve to Draper and wins the set 6 4

Draper loses serve to Alcaraz set 2 and ....

Lets see if he can repeat Alcaraz in Set 1 ??

 

[Super_horns]

Unsurprisingly Draper beaten in 2.

 

[Judio1999]

Draper now misses out on a Top 4 seeding in French Open

So he could play Alcaraz in the QF just like today


Its a Random Draw
He gets either seed 1 2 3 or 4 in his Quarter Final

So he could get Taylor Fritz instead

 

[Judio1999]

Jack has now lost his Top 4 ranking to Djokovic next Monday (He didnt play Stuttgart)

But has a chance at Queens to get it back in time for Wimbledon

Number 5 has a chance of drawing Sinner or Alcaraz in the Quarters at Wimbledon

Number 4 is protected from them until the Semis

4 Djokovic 4630
5 Draper 4550
6 Fritz 4485

Fritz playing this week, Draper next week but Djokovic is not due to play at all

 

[Judio1999]

Fritz won event in Germany so Djokovic cannot be 4th seed at Wimbledon now

Draper needs to make at least the Semi Final at Queens to have a chance

Projected Ranking for next Monday now (removing Queens from last year)

4 Fritz 4635
5 Djokovic 4630
6 Draper 4450

You can add 200 points by making the Semi Final of Queens so Draper would go up to 4650

 

[Judio1999]

Fritz out, Djokovic not playing

So Target Top 4 seed is on

Semi Final this week

Two more wins for Jack

 

[Super_horns]

Tough match for Draper but gets through despite not being at his best .

Nice come back in the tie break .

 

[Judio1999]

Confirmed 4th seed at Wimbledon

Wins in 3 sets into Queens Semi

 

[Super_horns]

Good win for Jack in another tough match particularly that last game .

Pulled himself out of trouble at 15-40 down.

 

[Super_horns]

Credit to Lehečka - played well and made Draper for poor serving .

 

[Ash]

Credit to Lehečka - played well and made Draper for poor serving .

Agree, Fully Deserved.

 

[Bristolian Bee]

Apparently JD was suffering with tonsillitis. If so a great effort to reach semis and complete so well. Achieving 4th seeing @Wimbledon is massive ?

 

[Judio1999]

Draper is back on the tennis court

[Bristolian Bee]

More time in the gym during his injury time off? A proper unit ?

The first two rounds, barring an unforeseen eventuality, seem pretty straightforward, although a qualifier can be a banana skin, especially as whoever it is will be used to the courts, having already played three matches on them.

 

[Judio1999]

Musetti has very little wins in recent weeks so this section has turned out well for Draper

Last 8 match potentially with Sinner though is another story

 

[Bristolian Bee]

Musetti has very little wins in recent weeks

Hopefully his fitness can hold up as that will be tough .

Hopefully his fitness can hold up as that will be tough .

Time for a GpG change in coach approach
