Here is the scope of this thread. These all culminate in the U.S. Open, which starts August 28.

July 24-30: Atlanta 250
July 31- Aug. 6: DC 500
Aug 7-13: Toronto Masters 1000
Aug 13-20: Cincy Masters 1000
Aug 20-26: Winstom Salem 250

Can The Mighty Mighty Carlito keep his momentum going?

Anybody wanna roll into the Nation's Capital for some Citi Open action?

I'll teach you my tried-and-true strategy of sneaking into unoccupied corporate boxes and eating the funk out of their food / drinking the funk out of their beer while enjoying an amazing view of the action.

Maybe this year I can even take the next step up and bring a hot bitch or two along with me and give them a nice rogering.

And if you think I'm kidding...I'm not. I have sneaking into and taking over for the rest of the evening the corporate boxes down to a focking science. I do it every year.

The only speculative part is giving some hot bizznatch a good rogering....but I think I can make it happen, by God.

I just got my tickets for U.S. Open men's semis. I am rooting for Pride's friends in men's dubs so maybe I can meet him in Flushing Meadows.

I have always enjoyed going to the tuneups in Cincy and Toronto. I've been to Cincy probably five times and Toronto twice.

Ruud down in straights including a 1st set bagel to 19 year old Frenchman Arthur Fils.

Just saw the stat line. Ruud got wrecked.

Fritz beat JJ 6-3, 7-5 in Atlanta. The other semi is kind of boring.

Had some special guest appearances from Ryan Harrison and Donald Young today in Washington. You’ll never believe it but it’s currently raining there.

Fritz with a hard fought win in Atlanta.

I see Dunlop advertising ATP balls. I thought Penn were the ATP balls.

Fritz and Foe the top seeds in D.C. That's a little weak. I thought guys like Tsitsipas and Medvedev would be there. I guess rest is more important right now.

Monica Puig is looking good in the Tennis Channel studio.

I think Penn is still used at the Masters events. Dunlop is the “official” ball but the fine print at the bottom says…

* Based on Dunlop supplying tennis balls to more ATP Tour tournaments than any other brand.

So they are used at a bunch of 250’s and 500’s I guess.

Looks like he's going stag in Los Cabos. I definitely like Norrie (+500) or Paul (+700) out of the bottom half in Los Cabos. Especially Norrie considering he won in 2021 and made the finals in 2022 (losing to Medvedev).

Yikes. Yibing Wu just passed out and collapsed in between games. He was up 4-1* in the 1st set.

I think he passed out vs Tiafoe a few weeks ago at Wimbledon too.

Thanks for the idea, I'm in for both. I also realize that this is the only possible way that I will ever go for Norrie. I hate watching him play.

Nice grinder win for Sir Andy. I know it was close, but FAA can't be losing to guys like Watanuki. He had a great opportunity to make the semis here. I'm probably gonna load up the betting account tomorrow and start getting involved for hardcourt season.

They are playing each other today.

Is there a way to find what Molcan's odds were at this point?
