Injured Nadal withdrew from his lead-up tournament.

Woodbridge reckons he won't make it to defend his title. :(

Would be a shame if Nadal withdrew.

Alcaraz-Djokovic final would be pretty epic. They've only played one another once, which was at the Madrid Open last year which Alcaraz won in 3 tight sets.

No Nadal at RG since 2004.

2024 looks like the end as he indicated.

Also out:

Murray (saving himself for Wimbledon)
Kyrgios (knee surgery).

The Kyrgios injury reportedly happened when his car was stolen! :shock: Huh?? Did he try to defend his car? Was it a carjacking?!

Khachanov will play Djokovic in one QF.

Alcaraz and Djokovic could meet in one SF.

And it'll be Ruud vs Zverev in the other SF.

Odds:
Alcaraz 1.48
Djoker 2.60

I'm a bit :shock: ... Sure, makes sense Alcaraz is favourite, but that's quite short!
