BF changed the name around the end of last week for some odd reason, first time I've ever know them do it
French Open 2021 Roland Garros
The French Open is a far more sensible name. I missed the start a couple of years ago because I didn't know who the hell Roland Garros was. But FFS, they have 50 weeks a year to make the change without causing any inconvenience to traders.

Watching Djokovic bounce the ball reminds me of Chinese water torture

Djokovic - Musetti is great from a trading perspective but from a sporting pov the organisers need to clamp down on these extended comfort breaks.
Djokovic was off court for over 10 minutes, both players completely different when the match resumed.

Musetti retiring from the match, amazing that the comfort break seemed to injure him too!Trader Pat wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 3:28 pm

Women's especially has really opened up in recent years which hasn't been bad for trading, but I don't think I've seen a QF where the highest seed was 8th and the next highest 17th

There's no real depth in the women's game, hasn't been for quite a while.
I think the gap between the top players and the rest is wider than its been for a long time. Just a handful of standout players then a big fall-off in terms of ability. Other factors at play too, a lot of them seem a bit fragile mentally and fall apart when a bit of pressure is applied, then you've got the pretty ones who sign a bunch of endorsements and are barely seen on the court again.
Like you say though great for trading

Medvedev throws in an underarm serve at match point down
Didn't work!
Tsitsipas could be a real danger to Nadal's crown

Only just seen that this morning, can't believe he tried it to save match point but hats off for attempting it thoughTrader Pat wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 10:31 pmMedvedev throws in an underarm serve at match point down
