From a 16 minute youtube highlights (I wasnt able to listen to any dialogue).  It looks like a smash and grab from Fognini (18 seed) over Edmund (16) in third round 5 setter. Fognini won last two sets breaking Edmund at 4-5 each time.

I'd say it's more to do with the fact they are built like men.

The French seems to be tickets for all the main courts and tour operators seem to buy lots of them.

Well, the other thing is the price of resale tickets for the French - I was there a couple of weeks ago, on the first day. It was still like €65 to get into the show courts at half five in the afternoon, for the last set of the last match. As a result, there were loads of people milling about outside, and plenty on 18 watching the match there. If it had even been ten or twenty euro extra (on top of the €15 ground access) to get into the show courts, they'd have been closer to full. But no, it was basically full price the whole day. That's a shambles, and they'd definitely sell more if they made the resale tickets cheaper for access to the show courts later in the day.

Yeah, I didn't pay it. I paid the €15 ground pass for after 5:30pm. I'm fairly confident that was the price of show court tickets at that hour.

Injuries have taken their toll on Nadal, Murray and Djokovic, all based on the way they play. Federer's smooth style clearly hasn't taken quite the same toll on his body... plus avoiding clay helps, too.
