Another slow week. Hamburg is a 500, but other than Thiem it’s basically a 250 field. I’m fully expecting Kyrgios to win Atlanta without dropping a set, and start up the (over)hype train for the next few weeks.

Never use the word sexy in the same post as Kevin Anderson.

I'm getting mad just thinking about him fist pumping after a meaningless point in the first game of the match.

Fed out for Toronto isn’t a surprise I guess.

Gambling or visiting?


Probably both. I live in the area, so I'm thinking Tuesday or Wednesday night.

The plan, as always, is to find an unoccupied corporate box early on in the proceedings. My corporate box takeover game is strong to quite strong.

The broski is going to be hitting up Cincy. Stroke of luck...he was travelling for work that week in the natty. I went to Cincy back when I was just sprouting pubes, and had a blast. Probably the most fun I've ever had at a tennis event.

I'm probably out on Flushing as I think I'm gonna be going Vols to the Wall on labor day weekend.

Not even a little.

TGGRN should skip it too, but won't.

They've been stepping their game up.

Hold on, is Tennys not playing? Is he hurt or something?

Figured it out. Not hurt....in love.*

Playing World Team Tennis out of DC, where his gf Britt Mchenry lives.

I don't know that this is a great career move, but who am I to judge?


ETA: And he's also hurt: LINK

He's scheduled to play Winston Salem.

Any of you guys ever make the BB&T? I'm gonna be in Western Ga for a few days later this week and will be 90 min away, would be a shame not to make a session. Friday would be Quarters.

Isner, Kyrgios, Chung, and Tiafoe are still alive. That’s not bad at all for a 250 event.

Sock pulls out of Los Cabos. Maybe he’s tanking a whole season, so he won’t have to defend any points in 2019.

What the hell is Thiem doing playing a garbage 250 clay tournament before hardcourt season?

Vulture.

Hamburg is a 500. Unless you mean Kitzbuhel next week, but that’s in his country.

Delpo playing Los Cabos? Vulturing.
