For the first time in 18 years, Rafael Nadal is not one of the Top 10 tennis players in the world. Astounding achievement, especially when considering Nadal's litany of absences caused by injuries over the years. His body was the only factor that could knock him out of the Top 10. I feel strongly he had a good chance of extending the streak to 20 years.

It is his first Masters 1000 title. Djokovic lost to Italian Musetti (never heard of him) in the third round. Nadal didn’t play.

Wow!
Tiafoe is being very verbally abusive to the ump right now for playing in the rain
Just lost a little bit of respect for him.....
** Edit - I get it must be frustrating and he's worried about injuries and such - but there's a way about going about things folks.....

Nadal will not be playing at Roland Garros.
He has also announced that he will be retiring at the end of 2024.

He has also announced that he will be retiring at the end of 2024. Actually, he said that it's his plan, at the moment, but that it could change. Things are up in the air. He's uncertain about how long he's going to rest, when he'll be able to come back, and whether he'll be able to compete the way he wants to if he does come back. I hope all those twats (i.e. Djokovic fans), who have consistently questioned the veracity of Nadal's injuries over the years, finally realize how stupid they look. Talk about wishful thinking, though. Huge asterisk for this year's French Open men's winner, similar to 2016. Then again, there's been an asterisk for every year Nadal didn't win it.

Roland Garros underway.
Is Alcaraz playing? I would put my money on him if I were a betting man.

Had no idea Stan Wawrinka was still active. Me neither. 38 years old.
#2 seed Medvedev lost in the first round to a qualifier, in five sets.

Alcaraz vs Djokovic is the first semifinal. Should be a good game! I am pretty sure the winner of this semifinal will go on to win the whole thing.
