I've enjoyed Kyrigos in these broadcasts, he's shown humility, and had some humor.


It kind of felt like when Draymond joined Inside the NBA last year. Surprisingly good off the court, but I’m sure is still a lunatic when he gets back to playing.

Nole -230, Sinner +190 is your early line for Thursday.

Man Djokovic just finds that extra gear once his opponent gets a glimmer of hope. Unreal. Fritz was competitive at least

Kyrgios was great on the call because he knew exactly what Fritz was going through. Basically called the point where Fritz got overwhelmed and the match was essentially over in the 3rd. And implied that Fritz's only chance was keeping his 1st serve % extremely high.

Gang, helluva tournament so far! Wanted to ask a random question for my fellow tennis fans: I’m going to Paris with the SO this year and am going to schedule it so that we’re in Paris Sun - Tues for the first round. I’m an avid Rafa fan and have seen him at 3 of the 4 slams, the French being the only one I’m missing so I’m desperate to see him here, especially knowing it may be my last chance to do so.

So, my question is two-fold: when will I know what day Rafa is playing, and what’s the best way to get tickets last minute as I don’t wanna book ahead of time and then have to offload tickets if I get the wrong day? I had ticket hookups at the other tournaments, and they were in Rafa’s prime ages so I simply said gimme semi tickets knowing I’d almost certainly get to see him (and I did!), but this one is different so appreciate any help y’all can provide. Thanks!

Alcaraz with just two points in the first 3 games.

6-1 to Zverev. J Mac said it's the worst set he's seen Alcaraz play. Zverev served 86%, so that is unplayable.

Just 29 minutes. Shocking

Zverev was absolutely dominant with his serve. Real quick serve and volley points.

Damn, Alcaraz just doesn’t have it today. About to go out in straight sets. Zverev has been really solid though — very few unforced errors and making a lot of 1st serves.

Zverev was up 5-2 in the 3rd and then got throttled the rest of the set, the tiebreaker Alcaraz was just dominating him every shot.

Match just got very interesting.

Alcaraz's game slipped just enough. Zverev with a chance to serve it out... again.

I bet Djoker’s odds skyrocketed. Got him at -145 during the Alcaraz match.

5th Aussie in a row for Mr. Novax
