I wish there was a way the US Open could be moved up two weeks. Would be so much better for the sport. It would easily become the highest rates tennis tournament in North America if it ended last weekend before CFB's true week 1 (and certainly before NFL kickoff Sunday).

No disagreement on my part.

I sort of like having it wrapped around Labor Day weekend, but I get your point.

Sinner is through. The draw is looking nice. Should be Sinner or Alcaraz, Medvedev or Rublev, Foe/Tommy/Shelton, Fritz or Djoker in the semis.

Looking forward to Shelton and Tommy P. here today, lads. Lame that it's not at night.

I think some of it has to do with the TV window today as well. As far as it’s scheduled, we have Shelton/Paul at 11 on ESPN, Gauff/Wozniacki at 1 on ABC, and Tiafoe at 2 on ABC.

It felt like Tommy dominated the first set and yet Shelton wins it 6-4. Tommy had a BP to go up 4-0 and was like 1-8 on BPs.

Tommy's girl is the consummate Insta-ho. I do love her, though.

Didn't see it but supposedly he broke the tourney record at 149 and did it twice?

Really sucks that all of the Americans are in Djokovic’s half.

Wow, I fell asleep with Shelton looking like he would close it out and Tommy reeled off four games to take the third.

I think they said it's the highest for this particular tournament. Pretty sure they mentioned Roddick had the US Open record.

Serving is like pitching in baseball now. Just like everyone in the MLB throws 98+, everyone hits it 125 but the top end is the same as it was in the mid 2000s

Pretty crazy how much Sheldon’s body has transformed from when he lost to Paul in Melbourne this year.

He's awesome. Got to see him in Austin during the 2021-22 season, and he was simply incredible. I think he was No. 2 in amateur singles at the time.

Think we were talking about how leg day wasn't a thing for him in that thread

Undeniably.

But picture the hottest woman in the world.

She still looks awful in a bodysuit.
