Of course, Tsitsipas has to get past Khachanov first.


This will be a great match that I'm very much looking forward to.

Pulling for Khachanov, I think he would be a good ole baw if born in the USA. But, he loses in 4 tonight.

Sounds about right. Djokovic over Tsitsipas in 4 after that.

Funny how 4 years have passed and I would describe KK pretty much the same way, except for the NextGen part of course.

I feel like this will come down to how well Khachanov hits his backhand down the line, considering how Shitpants like to camp out in the backhand corner to protect his defensive backhand. Shitsi is quick enough and long enough to hit that running forehand and he does it as well as anyone, so it's tough. But the AO courts are just fast enough to where some of the bigger hitters can get it past him. I think Sinner would have beat him if he was a little better at hitting that shot.

I'm working on an Aces bet that was gonna be huge, but the fact it's a day match is messing up my plans.

Both matches on the mothership tonight, so that is good.

Not that it matters. Joker wins in three sets.

That Shitsipants fearhand is a damn Howitzer.

Of course neither guy can buy an ace since I passed on under 25.5 aces

Think tsistipas will win this and then get hammered by djokovic. Tsistipas is also one of the more unlikeable guys on tour so I tend to root against him when possible.

A whole set of hitting lines and he needed 13 games to win it. Good sign for KK if he can stay in it mentally.

I thought Tsitsi was going to melt down from the time violation that helped put him in the 0-30 hole at 5-5. KK seemed to get tight in the breaker as usual. Off to

I’ve seen enough, that backhand is awful.

Same, but way to many unforced errors.

This could end up being a disastrous foot fault

Makes you wonder how many of these he’s been getting away with in his career
