Watching Alcaraz-Nadal on my second screen at the moment.
Looks like most matches were delayed due to rain today.

They cancelled everything on the outer courts today. The put a couple of extra matches on the main courts that weren’t originally scheduled there.

Gauff/Pegula won pretty easily
Alcaraz/Nadal beat the 6 seed in a fun match.

Nadal split in singles vs. Fucsovics, 3rd set on peacock now.
Posted on 7/28/24 at 11:14 am to Dawgsontop34
Nadal wins in 3 sets.
So far American men are 2-2 with Fritz and Paul winning. American women are 2-0 so far with Gauff and Navarro still to play today.

Want Gauff to get gold over Iga, but I doubt it.

Kind of sad to see Nadal this washed

Age is undefeated. Crazy though that Spain just recycled him with another phenom in Alcaraz.

That drop shot from Djokovic was so sick.

Coco is having a full blown Johnny Mac meltdown
Coco Gauff was left in tears during her third-round singles loss to Croatia’s Donna Vekic in the Paris Olympics on Tuesday due to a brutal call from the umpire.
During a break point in the second set, Vekic returned Gauff’s serve, and the Croatian’s shot landed near the baseline. A line judge initially called the shot out of bounds, but it was actually in. However, because of the “out” call, Gauff did not keep the ball in play and hit it into the net afterward. The chair umpire, Jaume Campistol, awarded Vekic the point because he believed the “out” call shouldn’t have affected Gauff’s swing.
Gauff was visibly upset and could be seen pleading her case to the umpire to the extent that the reigning U.S. Open champion was ultimately brought to tears over the unfair ruling.
quote:
“He called it out before I hit it so I went up on the ball,” Gauff could be heard telling the ump on the broadcast. “This isn’t fair, he called it out before I hit the ball… If he called it out before I hit it, it affects the swing.”
“I never argue these calls Gauff said through tears. “You don’t understand, I have to always advocate for myself on this court all the time. This isn’t fair. I feel like I’m getting cheated on constantly in this game. And then you guys apologize afterwards, you guys say, ‘I’m sorry,’ but what does that do for me in the match?...It happens to me, it happens to Serena [Williams]... You guys are not fair to me. I hope that one day the game becomes fair, but it’s not.”

I mean she had every right to be pissed. Still don't think she would have ended up winning the match anyway.
Didn't realize she's playing doubles with Pegula and mixed doubles with Fritz too. That's a lot of tennis.

On serve, and that call gives Vekic the break at 30-40.
I’d be pretty pissed too.
I think it was a different umpire, but one also missed a blatant let in the Evans/Murray second set that gave their opponents a 9-8 lead in the second set tie break.

Fun end to the Zheng-Kerber match.
Last match of Kerber’s career.
