sclibertarian's pic still shows up for me.

Pegula/Krejcikova should be a pick em to me. I'm surprised Pegula is basically a 2 to 1 favorite.

I think Carlitos rolls, but Lehecka is very solid.

Sabalenka should roll, but Vondrousova has been serving nasty and she has a good junk game she can go to.

No idea on Fritz/Djoker.

Gonna be there tonight for Sabs and this match

I think Fritz has a good shot. My wife doesn’t think so, but it's just simply an age thing in my mind. Fritz has to eventually break through against Djoko and this would be the perfect time to do it. This will be our 3rd time seeing GOATovic at a major and he's won the past two, so I'm hoping that holds.

Agree on the age thing.

Crank a Honey Deuce or Ace Paloma for me.

Staying at the Intercontinental so the wife already got the honey deuce in the souvenir cup down so it sounds like we need to try the Ace Paloma too. Any other tips?

Yeah, I have usually stayed in mid-town so we could just get on the subway at Grand Central out to the tennis center.

There should be a stand at the food court that has pretty good lobster and crab rolls if that's your thing. Some people like the Fuku spicy chicken, I thought it was meh. I see they have an Eataly stand now -- that's kind of fun in Vegas, but it's a huge market thing out there. I have usually just drank the Honey Deuces and Heinekens, but they are adding some other stuff like the Dobel Tequila and Aperol Spritz stands to deal out more drinks.

My biggest complaint when I went to the semis two years ago is the lines both outside and in the stadium were so ridiculous. I wanted to get drunk and didn't have the time to stand in line for drinks to do it. In Ashe, you almost had to miss four games if you wanted to go to the bathroom or get food/drinks. I have read that they are doing $800 million in renovations and added escalators, concourse room, and bathrooms to make that better.

Yeah will definitely check the lobster rolls and we went to this huge Eataly in Boston last week. Went to a Sox game. I hope the lines are better that's always my fear when relying on concessions and bathroom lines.

I know people on here complain about ESPN’s coverage but I absolutely love their announcing crew for tennis. Cliff is probably one of my favorite announcers in any sport. They have incredibly insightful people on the crew and I love how almost none of them are afraid to call out players.

I agree, although I think Johnny Mac is actually not that good. Chrissy is mediocre, too. Everyone else is pretty good. Cliff and Fred Stolle back in the day were awesome.

Routine work for Pegula and Carlitos.

Welp, Sabalenka in a fricking walkover. Really sucks on that, but I'm good with Djoko/Fritz.

Wow. At least Djoker/Fritz won’t start at 10:00.

I know, Peej. That is always hard for the schedule guys. If they had enough notice, they could have put Venus’ doubles match against Townsend on Ashe. The other singles quarters are tomorrow, they can’t move them to tonight. At least the fans who bought tickets get a great men’s match and it’s only starting an hour into the night session.

Yeah, Djoko at 8p it sounds like. Went and watched Venus for a bit, but they were stinking it up. Watching men's doubles now in courts 5 and 6 next to each other. Very intimate and cool as watching these.

She's just the most basic blonde Instagram bimbo ever.
