Now the real tournament starts

They call the second week of the Grand Slam, the business end of the tournament.

Novak Djokovic looks as good as ever and today he trounced Cam Norrie in three sets 62 63 62. The 38 year old is the oldest in the singles draw and the next oldest is 28.

Lois Boisson, the French wildcard ranked 361, knocked off world no. 3 Jess Pegula in three sets which required two hours and forty minutes of work. A year ago she had to miss Roland Garros with a torn ACL.

Madison Keys vs Coco Gauff in the QF. Keys leads the head to head 3-2.

Alexander Bublik is up two sets to one on Jack Draper…

Jennifer Capriati is watching Bublik vs Draper and commented: “Bublik doing the same to Draper as what Draper did to Fonseca. So many drop shots where Draper has been caught dead in his tracks and not run but not once have I heard the commentators say he is not trying like they said for Fonseca. They were picking on him.”

Today Djokovic won a milestone 100th career match at Roland Garros.

At Australian Open: he has 99 wins.
French Open: 100 wins.
Wimbledon: 97 wins.
US Open: 90 wins.

He is the only player in tennis history to have 90+ wins at every Slam.

Nobody else has 75 wins at every Slam.

    One betting site had Paul at +750 this morning and others at +700 vs. Carlos. Carlos was -1000 and -1200

    Wonder if any T-Paul fans are betting on their guy.

    Musetti in a tricky match right now vs. Tiafoe.

    Paul can do it but tough to bet against Charlie. Musetti should win that.
