If Sinner’s 1st serve percentage is below 65% then I have Alcaraz winning in Straights. He has been THAT GOOD. #USOpen2025

[Grassroots Tennis Pod @GTennisPod]

@WillBoucek This is insane! 🤯

[Grassroots Tennis Pod @GTennisPod]

If Arnaldi is sick, why on earth is Cobolli in the same room as him right now?

Why would we risk another withdraw in the final?

What is #RolandGarros thinking?

#ATP

[Grassroots Tennis Pod @GTennisPod]

Former Collegiate Standout, NC State Wolfpack legend, Diana Schnaider wins 10 games in a row to knock out Aryna Sabalenka @ #RolandGarros!

3-6 7-5 6-0!

That is not a typo. 6-0 in the 3rd set!

Go, Diana! The 22yo moves into the SF and will face 25yo Maja Chwalińska of Poland.

Jakub #Mensik,

Who I thought they were going to have to take off court on a stretcher after his 5 Set Win in RD2 over Navone, defeats Fonseca in straight sets to set up a #RolandGarros SF clash with #Zverev.

TIME ON COURT ENTERING SF:
20yo Mensik: 15h44
29yo Zverev: 11h42
#ATP

The man reaponsible for Big Foe’s 5th set loss today…

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

@USTennisCenter 😂😂😂

[US Tennis Center @USTennisCenter]

Frances Tiafoe is legitimately the favorite to reach the semifinals of the French Open… wow

[Grassroots Tennis Pod @GTennisPod]

I legit stopped watching the Tiafoe vs Arnaldi match with Foe up double break 4-1 in the 4th. Just got done coaching & saw he lost 6-4 in the 5th. 🤯

I do enjoy Arnaldi’s game, just really wanted to see Foe vs Berrettini. Congrats to Arnaldi. Down goes the last 🇺🇸 in singles. 😔

[Grassroots Tennis Pod @GTennisPod]

Auger-Aliassine & Berrettini both played with significantly less nerves today than I anticipated.

Felix continues to hold his seed as he looks to move on to the SF by def. Cobolli in the QF.

Berrettini is now the lowest ranked player to make the QF of #RolandGarros since 2007.

[Grassroots Tennis Pod @GTennisPod]

Today my guesses were:

Cobolli in 5

Berrettini in 4

Auger-Aliassime in 4

Tiafoe in 5

Crazy how close Svajda was to going 5 with Cobolli. Cobolli in the post match interview said,

“I almost shit on my pants.”

Shoutout to Zach Svajda for letting the world know who he is!👏👏

[Grassroots Tennis Pod @GTennisPod]

@USTennisCenter Please stop Jinxing people. You already did Tommy Paul dirty. 😔🤦🏼‍♂️🫤

[Grassroots Tennis Pod @GTennisPod]

Zach Svajda missed a couple really good looks to force a 5th set on Cobolli in that tie breaker. Played incredibly from 5-1 down in the 4th. Wanted to see the 5th but Cobolli moves on.

6-2 6-3 6-7(5) 7-6(3)

(Watch out for Zach on the grass. A surface that really fits his game.)

[Grassroots Tennis Pod @GTennisPod]

Bottom 1/2 of the #RolandGarros QF Draw:

20yo Mensik 13hr
19yo Fonseca 14h29

19yo Jodar 12hr53
29yo Zverev 9hr17

Zverev was already the favorite as the 2 seed. Going into the QF he now has spent 3.5 to 5+hr less time on court to get to this point.

His odds are improving. #ATP

[Grassroots Tennis Pod @GTennisPod]

2 time French Open Finalist Casper Ruud catching some bad luck there at the end of set 2 vs Fonseca in Rd4.

With electric line calling he just won that set 7-6(7)

Now instead of split sets he trails
7-5 7-6(8)

Going to be interesting how this shakes out from here.#RolandGarros

[Grassroots Tennis Pod @GTennisPod]

Anyone else shocked Mensik can even walk right now?

Did nobody else see him lying on the court absolutely dead & potentially in need of a stretcher after beating Navone in Rd2?

I’d have been in bed 3-5 Business days after that.

Now he’s up a set on Rublev in Rd4. #RolandGarros

[Grassroots Tennis Pod @GTennisPod]

Record 9 5 setters in Rd3!

28 5 setters so far in the event.
(Rd1: 10, Rd2: 9, Rd3: 9)

Time on court is eventually going to matter alot.

Going to keep an eye on this stat.

[Grassroots Tennis Pod @GTennisPod]

Pay attention to time on court.

With the draw being wide open, and there being nerves amongst all the players, many matches will run long.

As we reach the end of this event, I believe this stat could play a major factor in who becomes our new #RolandGarros Champion. #ATP

Zach Svajda is here to stay! #USTennis

What a story he is living. What a legacy he is carrying for his father. Tennis is about community and family. Zach exemplifies that! Making his family, California, and all of the USA proud! 🇺🇸

Congrats on the win today, @zach_svajda!

[TNT Sports U.S. @TNTSportsUS]

After losing his father last year, Zach Svajda advanced to the fourth round in his Roland-Garros debut.

It's his dad's birthday today ❤️
