Was a little interesting when Coco went up a break, but shes gotta figure out that forehand at some point.

Amazing how good she is with her forehand being as bad as it is.

The final on the women's side may well be a double bagel.

Paolini just won easily. She's 28 years old and the 12 seed and I don't think I had ever heard of her until a few days ago.

Guys, who's winning Alcaraz/Sinner? I think Sinner is the better player right now, but he may start grabbing the hammy in the third set and tap out. I realize that's what happened to Carlitos last year, though.

It’s crazy to me that people think this on clay. Maybe I’m the real crazy. Feels like Alcaraz 3-0 or 3-1.

Anyone know how to watch the match this morning? I hate the French Open coverage so much. Peacock/NBC are trash and rarely have live coverage or they're showing matches that nobody cares about.

No excuse for a "flagship" station to not have live coverage for a Semifinal.

eta: Sinner off to a hot start and Alcaraz is shanking shots all over.

I think NBC will pick it up at 10:00 central.

Damn, I hope this thing gets better. I'm rooting for Sinner for some reason, but I would like for this to be epic.

Sinner is on a different level at the moment. Fully complete game.

Thought it was blacked out on the betting apps but figured out that I just have crappy cell service right now. On the work wifi now, just hope they don't look too hard at the traffic to see the BetRivers app in there.

Streaming tennis from the apps: BetRivers > MGM > FanDuel (no fullscreen).

Might have an impact later with Zverev vs Ruud. Zverev's abuse/assault case was dropped/settled this morning.

Uh oh. Sinner getting his forearm looked at. Might not be anything, trainer literally just rubbed some icyhot on it and ran off.

Jim Courier is so good on his calls. Gives no quarter at all and not afraid to call a spade a spade. This is a sloppy match. The disparity between Sinner's ground game and serve is striking and Carlitos is about as spotty as I've ever seen him.
