Paul going body after getting buckled in the ninth game was hilarious to me. It’s so refreshing to see Americans playing entertaining tennis for stakes

Kid is just having a shite ton of fun. Interested to see what he becomes, he's still so raw and physically still has some baby fat.

Let’s go Tommy!!
Shelton is raw but will be figured out soon enough on tour. Serve is nasty though.
He reminds me to much of Jackson Mahommes.

Rublev is making Novak stretch for shots more than in his previous matches for sure. All it could take is one bad stretch.

A little jarring to me to see Mirza and Bopanna in the semis. Playing a 3rd set tiebreak now against Pride’s boy Skupski and Krawczyk.

Wow.
The Indians are in the finals. Bopanna’s got a helluva gut on him right now.

Djokovic walking to the title again after injury "concerns" sort of tanked his market odds to win the tournament. Think the same thing happened 2 or 3 years ago.

He has this in the bag.

It's over. Djoker will tie Nadal with 22 wins. Won't be long before he is the greatest to ever play.

The women’s matches are at 4am, awful schedule for getting eyes in America. No men’s matches until tomorrow night. Lame

Shitshispants is the only significant obstacle left, and Djokovic has a 10-2 career record against him.

But... Tsitsipas is playing as well as he ever has with a chance to jump to #1 for the first time in his career. Their last 2 matchups were extremely close. Turin Finals Djokovic won 6-4, 7-6 with Tsitsipas only giving up 2 break chances during the match. Paris Masters Djokovic won 2-1 with the 3rd set tiebreaker deciding it.

Of course, Tsitsipas has to get past Khachanov first.

Yep, I was betting/watching Challenger matches to get my fix since there isn't much other action. Luca Van Assche is the kid to watch this year. (Like Draper and Shelton last year). He doesn't have the raw power or measurables of the other two, but his defense/ground game looks more polished. I wouldn't be surprised if he upsets a player or two during clay season or at the French Open.

I read on Talk Tennis that KK has lost 22 straight matches to top 10 opponents. Do with that what you will.

Somehow I don't think that makes me believe he's going to lose any more than I already do.

I don't really watch WTA but that serve is the truth.

ESPN+ has such an awful delay tonight. Almost two points behind.

Ridiculous.

I was so confused as to why she was ranked 22nd, but I forgot she gets no points for Wimbledon last year.
