And Kenin seals the deal. Good for her, was worried she was going to hyperventilate though.

She knew how big that second set was given her poor history in 3rd sets at Fed Cup. Happy she pulled through

Fognini can play at a very high level when he gives a shit, problem is he doesn't do so often.

Nadal gave an interview where he talked about how poorly he played. In typical fashion, he avoided giving Fognini credit for the win as much as possible.

What's your impression of Fognini?  I've seen him act like a real dick before (on the court).  I've also heard him singled out for criticism about 5-6 years ago when the Italian women were doing well in Slams with a lot less funding from the Italian government.

On clay he has a lot of ability and all the shots. But he doesn't have an even temper and is very inconsistent. A lot of the Italian crowds grew sick of his thin-skinned behaviour towards the media, on-court temper tantrums, and lack of results to make up for it. A few years ago he was tossed from the US Open for calling an umpire a whore.

The nickname he has in Italy, 'Fogna', literally means 'sewer'. 😂

That shot was disgusting. Safe to say Nadal's out of whatever minor slump he may have been in.

Despite having not yet won a title, he's still had a very good start to 2019.

I think Roland Garros is wide open this year, boys. 

I'll believe it when I see it... Thiem may have overpowered Nadal today, but Bo5 at Roland Garros is a different beast.

He might work his way into shape, but he just looks so lumbering and heavy footed out there to me. I don’t think it’s his skill set that’s diminished...his mobility is just lackluster to me. He could usually overcome superior shotmakers with insane defense and win wars of attrition but not sure he has the legs now.

Thiem cruises to a win in Barcelona. It's his biggest clay tournament victory since the Rio Open two years ago.

Also, looks like Murray will make his return at Wimbledon this year!

Is this Ferrers 2nd to last tournament?

Damn, I would have thought he'd have retired two or three years ago.  The guy is a grinder.

Tennis Channel with the spot-on proofreading 😛

 

I'm the champion of both of those tournaments?  Sweet!  In a kinda trangendered way.

I'm almost wondering if Federer will play if Rafa continues to have problems.

It's sounding more and more like Andy no longer has retirement on his mind, especially if he remains pain free after Wimbledon I bet he keeps going indefinitely

He’s been planning to play all season. 

Interesting, since he skipped last year.  Did he play Monte Carlo, and is he planning on Rome?  Hamburg used to be his big warm up for RG.

I would have thought he was saving his energy for one last Wimbledon.

Interesting points from this Tennis Channel article. With Federer returning to clay after three years, Nadal starting to look slightly human, and Djokovic back at No. 1 but not at his peak yet, this year's French Open could have a huge impact on the GOAT race between the three.

Things went south for Opelka after that first set

No kidding... although we at least got this bizarre ace out of the match

Garin is the king of saving match points. He saved a several in Houston last month in route to winning the title 

Let's hope he never plays Federer then. lol
