I have to admit, it's sometimes hard to remember he's won Roland Garros as many times as Djokovic.

Triggered!!

But seriously, Murray is about to curb stomp Stepanek in these last few sets. He gets down 2 sets to 0 at some point in almost every slam and he comes back to win those matches unless he's playing a big 4 opponent
 
Poor Naomy Broady just lost first round to CoCo. The WTA needs to change Naomy's profile pic to look less stereotypical for a british person

Problem for Murray is this match is going to be suspended soon, so even if Stepanek is fatigued by now, he will be refreshed tomorrow. So the usual grinding tactics that Djoko, Nadal and Murray love so much won't apply here.

But you guys, Murray WANTS to be "hunted" and "on the defense". That's what the commentators always say whenever this happens. All according to keikaku.

Stepanek has emptied his tank. He's just praying for the match to be suspended as soon as possible. He's only made 3 points in this set...

Fair play to Stepanek, that round-the-post winner was one of the best winners of the year.

This fourth set has become weirdly high quality out of nowhere, given the rest of the match has been a joke.

It's been said about a million times already, but Murray really needs to stop being so bloody negative when he loses a set/game/point and shouting at his coaches like a stupid big wean. Look at how much he's turning this game on it's head since he just started getting positive.

If this keeps up,with the rain and the lights,they may need an extra week to finish this slam lol ;)

Some good matches so far though...

Murray having to come back against Stepanek in 5 will make it all the more satisfying when Djokovic goes down 7-6 7-6 7-6 in the final.

Zhang and Voskoboeva was suspended at 5-5 in the FIRST SET. Why the hell would the tournament organizers put on a match at 9pm knowing they had no chance to finish the match. The French Open tournament is a mess. A waste. A Big Fat Mistake

correct about everything

It is sad how terrible it has become.

On the bright side, at least the US Open looks less bad by comparison now.

Hopefully, we'll all one day follow in the footsteps of the glorious Australian overlords.

US Open will be the one of the best slams this year with their new fully functional retractable roof over Ashe.

US Open and Australian Open are now the only slams with a roof on at least one court, and lights on every court. More roofs to come on a couple more courts in a few years at the US Open

They're squeezing every bit of tennis they can right now. Let's stop fighting and praise the sun.

Fun fact : did you know Roland Garros had lights on the central court in 1961 ?

Fans and viewers aside, this really just hurts the player the most who spend hours of prep time before each match and now have to do it twice for one match due to playing it over 2 days.


France was more advanced in the 60's than in the 2010's just like America when America was able to send man to the moon

Genie!!!!!!!!...granted Siegemund had 6 double faults but Genie played well...

Does Wimbledon have lights on every court now?

Also Ashe is like 4 times the size of Wimbledon's Centre court. The project was a much greater undertaking

Really? Wow, why is it so much bigger? Always assumed it was abut 60% bigger based on number of seats. What makes it 4x the size? Corporate boxes maybe?

This tournament isn't named the French Open because it needs a fucking roof. If it rains it rains. So be it. Stop with this fucking whining every fucking year.

Thiem struggling too and WTF is he wearing.

Idk why but he seemingly has a hard time not losing at least a set, especially against sub-par competition. Plus he shouldn't have played Nice.

Man, Stepanek was so close to getting match point.

edit: feels like he wasted his only small shot. can't imagine him getting that close to it again
