"Bublik will take more crazy chances against Sinner and play MIND GAMES ON STEROIDS. On paper this is a mismatch not a tennis match. Bublik will serve 2 first serves at 140. 25 drops shots.10 underhand serves. 4 tweeners. 5 behind the back shots.4 fake ovverhead/drops. And smile at him at least 20 times and shake his hand a few times on the change over," Rick Macci said.

“Does the Joker has a shot to win the French. Maybe. Novak has to win a few matches and feel that positive juice and taste Vitamin C (CONFIDENCE) and then will stay loose. There is a mini feeling with Losing / Winning and just needs to get thru the Beginning. @DjokerNole"
