There was no match on Court Manolo Santana. On Thursday, Darwin Blanch was not ready for the high level (24 unforced errors) and Rafael Nadal made him understand it. Without playing his best tennis, the king of clay sent his opponent back to his studies. Far too nervous to hope for anything, the American left Madrid after just 1h04 of play (6-1, 6-0).

However, it's not certain that the Spaniard is very satisfied with this match. All the questions he asked himself before coming to Madrid are probably still very much with him. He wasn't challenged at all, and didn't have to do much to win. In the next round, the Majorcan faces a very different opponent. This Saturday, he will meet the player who knocked him out in Barcelona, Alex De Minaur (ranked 11th in the world).

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.

Gonna be difficult with only 2 pointers to choose from.

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...
