Yeah that's how it is on TV. Flag next to every player except the Russians and Belarusians. It's pretty shitty in my opinion

Man what’s happened to Tiafoe? He’s been straight arse for the last year or so ever since he made that run to the semis in the US open.

Watching Rublev get destroyed, his meltdowns are entertaining

I like Andrey, he's a spaz on court, but seems like a good dude off of it. He just can't ever get over the hump.

Kind of crazy to me this is only the 2nd time Felix has made it past the 1st round at the French. Good for him to actually play decently in a major though.

FAA was bullying Rafa around the court two years ago at RG. He just has some confidence issues at times. I think he had a bunch of nagging injuries or is a hypchondriac.

Griekspoor takes the first set from Sascha.

I played this morning and got home in time for the fifth to see Sascha go down the double break and claw back to 4-4 now.

Zverev owned the breaker.

totally broke his spirit...the thought occurred to me that Zverev is never gonna win a major. I'm not sure if winning this changes my mind, but I'm not sure if he has what it takes above the shoulders to get it done Some of the second serves he was hitting in that match looked like mine when I get tight and once you get to the fourth round and above in the majors you just can't disappear for two sets.

I had another thought today too...It's pretty crazy how much better I play myself when I'm watching a ton of tennis, which I have been lately. haha.

Agree. One of my favorite things about RG is the wall to wall live coverage on TC (except for Saturday/Sunday).

Yep. I love TC's coverage. ESPN could take some pointers.

Tennis Channel is the best tennis coverage. I think Martina and Jason Goodall are my favorite pair of announcers.

I CANNOT stand the NBC color announcers McEnroe and Mary Carillo. Carillo in particular is insufferable, she laughs about not being able to pronounce player’s names, and talks about player’s going to psychiatrists and the things they they talked to the psychiatrist about,…..I do NOT want to hear that crap and we just had a golfer’s suicide due to mental issues,….

I love McEnroe for epic matches when hes dialed in, but not for earlier round coverage
