Murray playing Del Potro on a warm Saturday afternoon and yet there are still so many empty seats. A Wimbledon court would be full. This is consistently the case at the French Open even though tickets are more openly available than at Wimbledon.

Just less people interested in it in general. A lot of the crowd will actually british people nipping across for the tournament.

Sell out in US/AU/UK

How the hell did Del Potro not win that set? Poor composure on big points there.

Both players struggled to close out that first set.

Murray won it and it broke del po

Murray won't go all the way though.

Predictions for the finals? The bracket is sort of boring looking at this point.

Nadal was vintage again today. I don't think anyone expected 2010 level Nadal to ever appear again. Just cannot see anyone beating him. Unless Djokovic goes gluten free again.

Injury is the only way Nadal doesn't win this torny.

Venus, Stosur, Muguruza all gone. New slam winner like I thought had a high chance of happening. Could a frenchie win it?

Apparently French crowd was French and Kiki was cheering on her errors in her native tongue. Bothered Mug a bit.

Yeah no grand slam winners left in woman's draw. Female tennis is in such dire straights.

But I think the fact we know that so early leads to even more drama, possibly out weighing the men's since all eyes are on one man, Nadal.

Maybe for someone like you, but it a broad sense stars bring ratings and casuals don't want to tune in to watch someone they don't know with a name they can't even spell with 14 guesses.

I'm certainly interested though.

Rafa obvious favorite but I'm on Team Thiem and I think he beats NOvak. Khachanov is my dark horse. I mentioned ITT a few months ago how impressed I am by him. 6'6" with amazing movement and reach. Don't know if he's ready to beat Murray at the French yet but he will win his share of points. I see him being a force in a couple of years.

oh and LOLwomenz.

Worst thing about the women right now is there are no draws. No flashy talents, either on court or off to get people excited.

Plus there are no rivalries. I mean, the only one that could be a bit spicy is Serena v Sharapova, but she's like 19-2 and when you watch them play, you can tell Serena just loves pummelling Sharapova.
