Someone tell Neal to take a super hard pic of himself with the trophy smoking a cigar

It’s an LSU tradition

I don’t know about that, but it was awesome to hear.

Have you unmasked Gaston who posts on here?

Dominant run by Skupski and Koolhof. Only got broken on serve 2x through 6 matches and only dropped 1 set along the way.

Glad the Grand Slams do traditional scoring and not the no-ad that ATP tourneys have moved to in order to save time.

With No-ad scoring the next point wins the game once it gets to 40-40. Instead of the traditional win by 2 points. They might have lost their 3rd round match to Purcell/Thompson if not for traditional scoring. They held at 4*-5 in Set 2 after a 17 point game.

That is his brother Ken at the bottom left. Also played at LSU and was runner up for the NCAA Doubles title. ETA: I watched Ken have some great singles battles with Jon Isner when he was at UGA. He could never beat him. Ken’s partner in doubles was Colt Gaston, who until recently was the women’s coach at Missou. They were also teammates with Danny Bryan who is now the head coach at LSU.


Watching LSU tennis in the old stadium was a blast especially with a redneck daiquiri.
