"More question marks than answers certainly. And by now, halfway through Rome we start to feel kind of settled in who we think has a really good chance, who are the favorites, who's in the conversation and with Alcaraz not even out on the court practicing, haven't seen anything from Sinner at all, with his bad hip."
"There's just air swings, shadow practice from Alcaraz. I mean, that's great for the footwork, but the forearm problem can't even have a racket in the hand that's problematic with two weeks away, so he's obviously going to stay very in shape from the lower body, but you're not getting those reps with the points."
"Rafa (Nadal), you know, question mark yesterday. He didn't look great against Hurkacz. Four games. Today, Novak (Djokovic) is winning five games. I mean, I feel very, very out of sorts myself, and then Casper Ruud is not even on there."
"He's twice been the runner-up, he's had a great year, and he's gone to four finals this year, even on hard courts. Casper, you got a shout-out because you're not getting enough respect, buddy. And then Taylor Fritz, you start thinking he can go deep. Can he get to a final because he's playing so well? How about Rune, Zverev? He hasn't won one, but maybe he can take one. It's exciting there."
