    Tsitsipas wins his first masters title by winning Monte Carlo. Only watched the highlights of the final but Rublev didn't really threaten.

    Zverev wins the Madrid Masters. Been a few new masters winners this season. Think we're finally seeing a shift in the sport.

    His game on clay has improved but Nadal is still favourite for the French. However, I've been watching the clay season closely this year and Nadal is no longer the beast on court he once was. I'm sure he's saving his best for the Grand Slam but this could potentially be the last slam we see him win. The younger generation of players such as Tsitsipas and Zverev are winning Masters now, and are at a much better physical age. I hope Nadal wins the French, and if he does I'll appreciate every second of it as we're really starting to see a changing of the guard now.

    This match from earlier today was epic:

    Canny see it mate.

    Fully expect him to dominate it for another few years, health permitting.

    I'd never write him off but each year it'll get more difficult. He said himself in his interview that he's 35 now, so it's natural there's more wins from the new generation. Of course, we'll see his max effort at the slam, and I do think he'll win it, but I think it'll be harder than any other French Open he's played.

    The Osaka situation is pathetic. If she's telling the truth and the media has a negative affect on her mental health she shouldn't be forced to speak to them after every match and she shouldn't be forced out of a tournament for not doing so.

    The problem is she has just been banned from Wimbledon/US Open already.
