Certainly mentally. I haven't seen any indications he's physically compromised, but you never know.

I hope Fed is able to come back, either to legitimately compete, or even just to do a farewell tour.

If not, he gave us years of entertainment and made himself several boatloads of money, and I hope he is able to have normal mobility for his post-tennis life.

Despite the lack of the big three, Cincy has some pretty good matches today and the rest of the way.

I think there is great value out there on live bets, but you have to be watching matches and odds closely.

Not a shock, but Nadal pulls out of the US Open too.

So if Nole doesn't complete the GS how big of a choke are we saying it will be? Mind you some of the young guys can hang. But I'd say there is almost more pressure on them with Rafa & Roger being out.

Don't think choke is the right word at all. The US Open is typically the most wide open slam each year, and there will be immense pressure on him to win.

Medvedev or Zverev winning this tournament probably wouldn't surprise anyone. It really just depends on Djokovic's condition both mentally and physically. He's been through a lot this year. I'm about 50/50 on whether he wins it or not.

I noticed some of the online books allow you to bet on qualies. That is down and dirty. But, I like betting something like that where each guy is putting it all on the line. I don't feel comfoprtable betting outside of majors as you never know how much heart a guy is going to put into it.

Is there anybody you give a shot at Flushing Meadows besides Novak, Alex, Medvedev, and Tsitsipas? Perhaps Sinner or Rublev?

Sir Andy left his stinky shoes under a car because he doesn't have a balcony in his hotel room. But, he had his wedding ring tied to the shoes. The shoes and ring disappeared, but have since been returned. So, he is back in the "good books" with the wife.



It looks like Indian Wells really starts kicking in today with the big boys like Medvedev taking the court.

Glad you bumped this. He was fierce today. Just hitting out in the clutch against Alex, who was playing well.

Weird tournament. Semis are Norrie/Grigor and Fritz/Basilashvili. Grigor/Fritz would be a cool final.

Alex beat Foe in Vienna yesterday. I guess Foe got a little enthusiastic against Sinner in the semis and Sinner did not like it. Nice to see some bad blood.

Rafa hitting with a 97 year old was pretty cool.

I saw that too and totally agree. Tiafoe should keep being himself and interacting with the crowd. Hopefully they end up hating each other and having a rivalry.

This Alcatraz Gaston matchis weird af. Alcatraz goes up 5-0 in the second and then can't seem to get a damn groundstroke over the net.

I caught the very end and they were talking about a remarkable turnaround, so I wondered what happened. It was like a Davis Cup match.

Fritz is playing some solid tennis lately.
