No. There is of course some noise, often for just noise's sake. But in the grand scheme of things not overrun, and to my mind the good submerges any supposed ( and probably inevitable to some extent ) bad / arguments / baiting, which is much less than in so many places and can often be skipped if one really wants to.

That's far too rational for this forum Indiana!

Ignore me just fed up with hay fever!

Well done Delpo, beating Cilic in 4 sets. Now can he give Nadal a real match in their SF ...

DelPo has never really liked clay but he may well have a chance - he wont try to out Nadal nadal, so to speak, his game is much flatter and that lower bounce and quicker pace might well pressurise Nadal.

Will be v interesting. However, I still expect Nadal and Thiem to make the final (although would like Delpo and Thiem to play, that would be a good match)

Delpo to beat Nadal.

I'd quite like Delpo to beat Nadal although I am on for the Slam double double.

Having previously picked Federer and Wozniacki for the Aussie Open, a few days ago I went with Nadal and Halep for the French Open.

As a footnote - 11 French Open wins for Nadal now, wow.

And the last 6 slams won by Federer or Nadal

AO 2017, Fed
FO 17 - Nadal
W 17 - Fed
USO 17 - Nadal
AO 18 - Fed
FO 18- Nadal

Wimbledon 2018? Hard to bet against the pattern continuing...

Wish I had put money on them all as wow, that Nadal chappie scrapes the French Open title. Maybe that one had a decent chance of coming in ...

They probably sat down and agreed the carve-up  .... wouldn't be surprised if Rafa misses the grass or if he does play gets knocked out early, in future years I can see him following Roger's lead and deciding to skip the grass season completely to give himself a rest and pro-long his career.

 This is getting rather boring and I do hope someone else not named Nadal or Federer wins a slam this year. I will even take Djokovic winning one!

Maybe they could both (or even all 3) sit out the Aussie open next year so Andy can win it!

Nadal's Wimbledon performances in recent years has been very poor, I know he won the title twice but he obviously is not keen on grass. To be honest in my opinion it is a cop out if he doesn't play Wimbledon
