I don’t know who runs this site but it’s fantastic. They are on top of every move regarding withdrawals, alternates, qualifiers, SE’s, etc. You can even view the upcoming schedule for each player too.

He's already down to 12-1 and 14-1 at my two main books.

I wouldn't make too much of Alcaraz falling off or whatever. Sinner is just getting better. Alcaraz does seem to be playing too much, though. These guys should not be messing around on European clay late in the season. But, if they take off this week, it may not be a big deal.

I initially wondered why the D.C. draw is a little light. But, then I saw there is some tournament in Mexico this week that has Medvedev, FAA and like one or two other decent guys, but is otherwise trash. I hope Medvedev doesn't get Montezuma's Revenge screwing around down there.

Funny you say that. I was just looking at that draw and thought it was weird that it was Med, FAA, Norrie, then a massive drop to Kecmanovic.

I’m a little surprised Novak didn’t play any of the clay tournies or Los Cabos. He needs points anywhere he can get them.

Norrie just killed a man in Mexico.

Wonder if MV will be sneaking into the front row at the Citi Open with his nosebleed tickets.

ETA: I’m not sure Wolf should be a dog vs. a struggling Rune on a hard court in Murica. Hate to back a guy after a big win though.

My brain is still having a hard time adjusting to NK beating everyone in straights.

I bet on Tommy Paul yesterday and thought Opelka would take him today. Nick is pretty good. Can't see him grinding for two weeks of 3 out of 5 on hardcourts, but he is going to be a dangerous floater.

Tiafoe-Kyrgios has been highly entertaining.

That 14-12 tiebreaker must have been fun

Tiafoe had 5 match points, but Kyrgios hit some big shots on each one of them (only one of the match points came on Tiafoe’s serve and Kyrgios hit a backhand that was incredible and caught the back half of the line).

Both guys got pretty heated. Kyrgios was complaining about the fans (shocking), but I couldn’t tell exactly what Tiafoe was complaining about.

I would have complained about Kyrgios quick serving. There were multiple times where he hit his second serve as the ball kid was still running.

I'm bummed I missed this. Rain was ravaging the tournament, so I'm guessing they played late. We should get a Rublev v. Kyrgios final tomorrow.

I see Rafa is out for Montreal, but it sounds like he just needs an extra week before tournament play. If he pulls out of Cincy, then there are issues.

Nadal hasn't played Cincinnati in a long time. Of course maybe that will change now that he's not playing Canada.

I love having some drinks and watching summer nighttime hardcourts. This Somali pirate is hanging tough with Nick.

Is it possible for Nick to get top 32 at Flushing Meadows? If not, he is for sure going to draw Tsitispas or Nadal first round at the U.S. Open. I guess it would be good for early ratings.

I’m telling you

I would have been so pissed if I was Tiafoe because you’re not ready for the serve yet.

But the ump seemed scared to have words with Kyrgios.

Think I read that he would need deep runs in both Montreal and Cincy, which probably wouldn't even be smart to attempt after making this Washington final.

Apparently he would have been in the top 20 if Wimbledon points would have counted.

Nishioka knocks off Brooksby, De Minaur, Khachanov, and Evans in 4 days and now he's up a break in the 1st on Rublev.

Wut

ETA: Rublev 31% on 2nd serves won’t cut it. Same issue he’s had his entire career.
