Like Tiafoe to win 4th quarter as well but waiting to see the price at other books. Norrie and Rublev facing off in R16. Much easier path to QF for Foe.

And I passed on this after talking about it too.

Anyone have an idea of when the last time the US had 2 men in the Top 10 at the same time?

I have a bad feeling it might be Isner and Sock but hope I'm wrong.

Just went through the list. Isner and Sock missed each other by a month. Sock left the Top 10 March 5, 2018 and Isner regained his Top 10 ranking April 2, 2018.

Looks like the answer is John Isner (10) and Mardy Fish (9) May 7, 2012. Before that was Fish/Roddick and again with Roddick/Blake.

Curious to see Iga play Rybakina and proably Sabalenka. Wonder if she will drop a set.

I think they have both beaten her recently, so I don't see her rolling through both of them without dropping one.

Some nice men's matches coming up here tonight.

I have Iga to not drop a set at +1000 ($5 to win $50) and winner at +100 ($50 to win $50). So I'll be hedging for sure.

We left Tuesday night.

Murray/Venus as dogs is a little surprising.

Bruh

Skupski/koolhof are 1 in the world. They would maybe be dogs to ram and Salisbury and that’s it I would imagine

They are on a 15 month run that’s pretty absurd

Means nothing. Murray plays with other dudes. I could pick any top 10 dubs player and put him with Sock and they would be #1.

ETA: And nobody cares anyway.

Ehh, I’d say it means something. Tell me how many times Skupski and koolhof haven’t been favorites over the last 6 months

They went 56-19 in 2022 bro. That’s pretty decent for dubs….

Fritz drops the first set. Come on I wanna see him vs. Alcaraz.

Courier says they are trading absolute bombs off the ground.

I feel like Fritz is the better player on these courts. Just got broken in the first game and been playing catch up since.

Sinner up 15-2 in points over 9 shots yikes.

Now 16-2.

Fritz likes to get in forehand/forehand rallies with just about anyone, but Sinner can hang with his pace.

Yeah this is fire. Fritz let him off the hook with a droppah at 15-all in this 4-3 game.

Jason Goodall or whoever it is was like "a little heavy-handed with the droppah."

Lazy footwork at on that 5-30 point. Danger time. I'm behind by a point or two btw.

Damn.
