Am I crazy or was the crowd cheering louder for alcarez Pathetic crowd


The NY crowd likes the favorites. Not the underdog.

I guarantee some American last night was sad Alcarez lost because they just like the easy cheer.

I actually feel like the crowd was more pro-Shelton in the first three sets. Then, as you lost more locals who probably had to work the next day, the crowd definitely started rooting for Alcaraz more.

So pumped for Shelton though. What a massive win.

frickin A I went to bed after the 1st set. Something told me I should stay up because Shelton’s serve was on, I thought this is as good a shot as he’s going to have with a home crowd and Carlos coming off injury. Tiafoe vs Shelton semi guarantees an American in the final. Both of them have the ability to beat Zverev if Fritz has done it multiple times. This could be the year

All tied up and fantastic tennis!

She is relentless. Her trademark is usually comebacks. Not sure why her ranking dipped.

I think there is a rule they can't begin play before 11 am.

Yesterday, was a bit of a freak occurrence. Ashe only had two day matches, began at 11:30 (so, not late at all), and would normally finish comfortably by like 6, so the night session could start on time. But, Sabalenka and Foe matches each went to match tiebreaker, so the session finished at 7. Now, you have the cluster of getting everyone out of and in Ashe between sessions. I think that took over an hour. Of course, Pegula and Navarro went three sets, so Alcaraz/Ben didn't start until 11 or so. That went the distance and now it's 3:30.

I like what they are doing today. Two women's matches and a men's match for the day session, one men's match at night. But, if they all go the distance, it could end up in the same place.

Night sessions should just be one men's match, but that would never happen.

With the women playing tomorrow, they kind of have to be in the day session.

I think the last time the top 4 seeds were in the semifinals of the women’s majors was Wimbledon 2009.
