UVA takes 4 1st sets, including a 6-1 decision on court 6. Seems like UK's weakness at that spot and in doubles will finally catch up with them.

It's over. UVA wins 4-0. UK won just 2 sets. We supplied 2 of UVA's 5 losses this season. I don't believe they lost outdoors the entire season. They lost a total of one point over the entire outdoor championship tournament.

Norrie currently playing his first round at French Open against Manuel Guinard from France. He's 26, ranked #146. He's giving Norrie everything he can handle early on, although Norrie is up a break 3-2. But only five games into the match and they've been playing for like 50 minutes. Norrie's last hold lasted about 20 minutes... back and forth

Norrie wins match 7-5, 6-2, 6-0

What looked like may be a tough match that could severely impact him for his next matches turns very routine 2 hours 20 minutes. His opponent gave it everything to win the 1st set and then fell apart outside of a brief moment at end of 2nd set.

Norrie should get at least tomorrow off to further recover.

He gets Kubler next. Ranked like #146 in world, should be a decent favorite again. Thiem got beat so don't need to worry about that (not that I was very worried). Pretty favorable draw to end up with Alcaraz

Aguilar playing now. Was down big in the 1st set but came back to win 7-5

Both players cheating each other now with line calls.

The opposite happens in set 2. Aguilar was up 4-1 and then proceeds to lose five straight games and the set.

On to the 3rd. Loses pretty easily in the 3rd

Clay court specialists man.

Vinolas up a break in the 3rd now.

I always had a hard time getting into the French Open. Either you've got one guy who dominates like Rafa (when I was growing up it was Kuerten). Or you're watching a bunch of specialists play for the only major title they have a chance at.

Yeh - despite the tradition, I think the play in the FO and Wimbledon is the "worst" and most predictable. They are the only GS where you have guys with huge win #s (Nadal, Borg, Sampras, Federer). Wimbledon is my least favorite though, especially now that guys don't even serve/volley anymore.

Although Djokovic has 9 AO titles, which is like 3-4 more than I thought he had. Wow.
