No, like the kids’ names.

Like a football jersey, but on a collared polo shirt.

Weird match. All hail the woke queen. Nice run for mama Vika.

I hope we get a good match tomorrow. Any takers on Alex +300?

Chris Fowler is brutal.

I like Fowler for football. But he seemed off yesterday. I don’t know if the no crowd thing is messing with him, but his ability to amplify the moment was weirdly not there.

I think he is OK as a non-tennis guy translating the game to the masses. But, the production for women's matches is awful. Chrissie is a cliche machine who favors certain players. And, I'm not sure if it was her limited role courtside, but Mary Joe was pretty bad today. Renae Stubbs is kind of annoying, but they should throw her in the booth. I know she is not everybody's cup of tea, but I think Mary Carillo is one of the best in the business as far as the women go.

Fowler is pretty good with the McEnroe boys. NBC subbed in Mike Tirico at Roland Garros for a few days last year when Dan Hicks was doing golf. He was incredible with Mary and J Mac.

She’s so good. I actually kinda liked Mattel-Sands in the booth this year as well, but I’m sure she’ll rustle some of the people here

Unless Thiem has physical issues, I don't see him losing. But, the pressure will be off Alex, so hopefully he plays well. He seems to be a rhythm guy and can be scary good when he's clicking.

I enjoy pretty much anything Tirico and/or Hicks.

Same. If he can dismiss Med like that, he will feast on those loopy, passive Zverev groundstrokes. Might as well just set it on a tee for him and get the camera ready.

The real question is how big of an accomplishment it would be if he won 2 slams in less than a month on different surfaces?

yea, he looks unbeatable unless he gets hurt.

I have to admit, two days ago, I thought Osaka would win the finals. I was pulling for Vica but I really felt Osaka would win.

Yesterday when the 2nd set started, I felt like they could just stop the match and give the trophy to Vica. She looked like she was going to win 1 and 0.

That was an impressive comback by Osaka. I was seriously impressed with her head game. In a way, she looked like she was over it. That was he best I have ever seen her play

Thiem a little tight and Alex looking good early.

Thiem is tight or fatigued and Alex is balling.

If Zverev loses this service game, he loses 3-1.
