I can’t wait for an Alcaraz vs. joker semi. Could be epic.

Joker is so fricking good. He plays to the crowd so well. They jeer and boo him and then he puts it into a different gear….




The Alcaraz match will be like LSU / Alabama in Tiger Stadium.

Jarry battled hard today. He is just not quite consistent enough to be great. Boring pusher Ruud is going to leave us with a trash final.

No way that trash dude beats Rune and Zverev.

Rune will hopefully wipe the floor with him. That's if Rune can step up and take care of Cerundolo. Didn't expect Cerundolo/Rune to be all square part way through the 3rd.

Rune has hit the wall physically. He basically started tanking the fourth set once he got down 0-2. He seems to be sick and trying to get energy back for the fourth. I don't think they have played that long for him to completely gassed.

Yeah and he came into the match fresher than anyone with a 3-1, a 3-0, and a walkover.

I’m sure this has been covered, but apparently YouTubeTV has added Tennis Channel back.

On mine I am only seeing T2 right now. Does anyone else with YouTubeTV have access to Tennis Channel?

That was a crazy match and one of the gutsiest things I have ever seen.

Crack and I just think he's boring. He's rock solid, but one of these guys who probably won't win much against the big guns. He seems like a good guy, nothing against him personally.

Found TennisTV but it's paywalled behind a Sports Plus subscription for an extra $10 a month.

Must be something nasty going around. Rybakina withdrew a couple of days ago with a virus. Tsurenko retires before the end of the 1st set vs Iga Swiatek. They were checking her blood pressure during her MTO.

Well said. He also vultures small tourneys to build up his ranking and got 2 of the cake-iest draws ever to make those slam finals, although he did play a great match vs. Alcaraz. All of this made it seem like he fell off this year, but he was never really a top player to begin with.

Nothing against him personally. It’s kinda like how Tebow got so overrated in the media and the public eye that you started to hate him even though he’s a great person.

First set to KK. Pretty good level of tennis, only one bad melt so far from KK. He missed a super easy overhead on a break point.

If KK wins the 2nd, do we assume Novak wins 3-2 like always? I'm thinking it's over for the old man at that point.

ETA: Guess we'll never know. Khachanov struggling to get this hold to start the 3rd.

Djokovic just had 19 winners and 1 unforced error in an entire set of tennis on clay.
