Can't see Rafa pulling out after seeing a draw like this. He's gotta take his chances. |

Interesting 1st Round Matches
Lopez-Querrey
Berdych-De Minaur
Tiafoe-DelPo
Chung-Zverev
Medvedev-Kokkinakis
Verdasco-Bautista Agut
Anderson-Edmund
Sock-Sugita
Rublev-Ferrer
Tsitsipas-Shapovalov
Section 1
- Normally this would be a very good section for Rafa but who knows how he'll play. Otherwise, it's very open.
Section 2
- Very open section
- Cilic has the most game here
Section 3
- Tough section with Kyrgios, Dimitrov, Ferrer, Rublev, Tsonga, and Shapovalov.
- Not sure, but Nick is in good form. R4 with Grigor would be entertaining.
Section 4
- Good section, pretty open
- I like Anderson here. Not sure what form Pouille will be in. Sock seems not as fit and ready for a deep major run (could lose early).
Section 5
- Very open with an uncertain Stan and Domi who isn't in any particularly good form.
Section 6
- Interesting section
- Watch out for Gael, he takes out Novak for me in R2. Chung is also dangerous if he gets hot.
- I think Sascha Zverev will come through
Section 7
- Decent section, not too deep.
- Seems to be between DelPo and Goffin but Fognini is playing well and Berdych is a tough customer
- Who knows what De Minaur will do? I'm still surprised he's winning so many matches against very experienced guys without a big game
Section 8
- Fed has a good section
- Hopefully Milos can make R4 |

@ 93tennisroyalty:
Gael can't beat Novak with a stick. |

Under normal circumstances, no, but I think he has a chance given how confident he may be feeling after Doha and Novak's lack of match play. This may be the time |

@ 93tennisroyalty:
Novak just beat Thiem pretty comprehensively though. Ominous. |

In a match that doesn't mean anything. He's yet to put himself back in the best of 5 sets, grand slam arena. We can agree to disagree, we'll see the result for ourselves. |

Under normal circs, yes, it meant nothing, but not when Novak and Thiem are struggling for form right before a GS. |

No#20 for Rojay? No. Cilic will stop him this time. |
