I would say of all the guys that have not won a slam yet, Zverev has played at the highest level for the longest stretches. I love watching him play.

Rune looks like he's either sick or high out there.

He is fun to watch when he is on his game. It's usually when he is an underdog. It's ugly when he gets the service yips, though. The thing that jumped out at me when I saw him at the U.S. Open was his movement for that size. He seemed to just sort of float around the court.

Funny I tweeted this the other day when Rune was looking like garbage.

Guess it’s time to prepare for a Zverev-Alcaraz final. Almost no chance Zverev can win but he’ll keep it closer than anyone else in the bottom half of the draw.

Crowd is into the match now and Rune has picked it up a little.

Interesting order

I don’t think the order is determined yet. I’d think the Alcaraz-Djokovic match would be after Ruud-Zverev.

I’d like to see Ruud somehow hoist the trophy, but I don’t see it happening. Winner of Novak and Alcaraz should take the final and will obviously be the huge favorite

Quiet in here with no Men's action today. Hoping that Sabalenka can pull off the comeback. Seems like she's the only player that can challenge Iga.

Also Miyu Kato gets screwed by disqualification in women's doubles and comes back and wins the mixed doubles title. Unfortunately at the expense of LSU Alum Michael Venus.

My gosh. Just watched Sabalenka’s last couple games.

Absolutely brutal.

Iga came close to having to break to stay in the 2nd set.

Funny you say that because Cressy uses different rackets for serves and returns.


That's interesting. I did not know this.

It’s funny how casuals keep linking Alcaraz to Rafa. Their games are nothing alike and Alcaraz already had a better serve at 19 than Rafa ever had.


Preach.

This is going to become a pet peave of mine. They are both Spanish and both generational talents. After that, the similarities end.

Tough to not put a lil sumpin on Djokovic at +170.

I would love to know the last time he was that much of an underdog.

That mixed doubles result may have been bad for LSU alum Venus….

But it was great for Auburn’s Tim Puetz! War Damn Eagle!
