12:30am in Paris now and it looks like a 5th set will be coming, crazy stupid scheduling. Fascinating match though.
-
Insane match but could it have ever not been? That's why the scheduling is so so wrong. 2.5 hours and they're at the start of the 3rd set.
-
Zed's playing like Cilic did last night, huge serves, huge groundstrokes, Carlos looks shaken, not boding well.
-
Yeah that's been a risk since the draw was announced it's so topsided. Cilic didn't give Medvedev a chance to get into the match at all, he blew him off the court. Medvedev tried upping the power on his shots but then he was missing but only just, I think the slower condtions allowed Cilic to run around his backhand and unleash a lot and find angles, it was a dominant display, be interesting to see how he does in the quarter.
-
Cilic played a blinder though, huge serving and groundstrokes. I'd like Casper Ruud to come through this half to the final personally, he's really impressed me this year but Rune would be amazing too.
-
Medvedev can't hit through Cilic because of these cold night time conditions, apparently Amazon bought the exclusive rights to these night matches in France for 8m Euros, the French Federation should be ashamed of themselves. Ruining the best Grand Slam
-
Night matches at RG is rubbish and was never required. Also why does it have to be a mens match? How pissed would you be if you'd got tickets for the 1/4's only to discover that Rafa v Noel is a different session. Why can't it be one of the womans matches scheduled for tomorrow instead? Again I wouldn't be surprised if this is Rafa's last match at RG if he loses, it's no longer the same tournament.
-
Yeah that was a great match, Felix is the real deal and Rafa had to spend a lot of energy to win. I can't see him trashing Djokovic unfortunately especially if they put it on at night, I'd love to see it though of course haha!
-
What a match this is turning out to be, Rafa hanging in there but somehow ahead, still think this could go either way unless Felix collapses, he's played brilliantly.
-
Yeah the retiring thing is my own personal paranoia and is most likely complete bullshit. Really odd performance though, even if he managed to get through this match he won’t beat djokovic playing this poorly.
-
Rafa doesn’t seem right to me, he’s missed a lot of routine shots and would have broken twice had he made some of these shots. I’m still convinced he’s retiring when he loses.
-
Oh man every post match interview with Rafa on court makes me think he is retiring, he keeps talking about his career in the past, I wonder if he'll bow out if he loses to Djokovic and it's like an inside secret?
-
I feel Rafa is ready to retire, his interviews are becoming very much about what the future holds for him. God I love this guy he is such a nice man.
-
Yeah what an amazing match, wow, flabbergasted after that.

Black flame absolutely ruins them. They really messed me up with my first dex melee build but in my second playthrough as str/fth they were a joke as I could just use any black flame incantation to ruin them super quick, even the rot versions. -

Out of interest are you continuing to level and if so what level are you at? I'm at the end of my second character's playthrough and wondering whether to NG+ and if so whether to continue levelling. -
Not enjoying Carlos struggling but it is a great match, Ramos-Vinolas is showing his amazing talent, I think Carlos will lose unless he ups his game.
-
Yeah it already is hilariously lopsided unfortunately, the ultra slow courts aren't helping, well they aren't helping anyone not called Djokovic at least! I really am not sure about night matches at RG, the clay becomes so heavy it really is a slugfest, I watched the fist two sets of the match last night and the kid was doing well. Carlos is struggling real hard with Vinolas who is playing great, Zed barely through in 5 sets, be interesting to see Rafa tonight on the cold clay, hopefully it warms up in Paris and I'm praying if there is a 1/4 between Rafa and Djoko it is in the daytime and it's very warm. Djoko's serve is looking pretty lethal along with everything else he has in his toolbag.
-
The poster is totally dope. Need to find a decent high res one. It contains loads of stuff from the film.
-
Oh man Felix is really struggling with this qualifier who is playing some great tennis. Felix looks flat and sluggish, completely different to how he was against Djokovic in Rome.
-
Calling out a post with 4 posts and then a mod laughing isn't a good look chaps. You may not agree with the original poster but that's no reason to pile on.

Everything Everywhere All At Once - 4/5 Fun, a masterclass in design, editing and costume, loved the rocks and the whole psychedelic experience but it was too long and hit you round the face with it's saccharine message so hard and often towards the end which could have been avoided by trimming it down and having more confidence in the audience's ability to understand what it was saying wihtout shoving it down their throats. Genuinely surprised by people declaring it one of the best films ever made, it's not even the best film I've seen this week.
-
Djokovic will turn up, he'll most likely win it especially with Medvedev not playing and it's still a Grand Slam. Rafa, unsure, probably unlikely which is sensible as he has no chance of winning it, no doubt he'll be injured or something but really he'll be prepping for the American hard court swing.

Yes basically. You also need to help Millicent to get it
