    So he doesn’t even medal in singles. Pablo with the win, I didn’t see any of it.

    I'm telling you, he's gassed. There's no way he loses 2 of 3 sets against PCB on hardcourt.

    Rybakina is just rolling. Also not sure who the two women in the studio are but they absolutely blasted Novak for pulling out.

    Svitolina really really impressive win. Good match, if you watch the replay skip the first set.

    Early break in the 3rd for Vondrousova. As loud as I’ve heard her after the break.

    First set to Zverev 6-3 in the final. KK really struggling on serve & Zverev smoking winners almost at will.

    Rafa also told the Washington Post he's been vaccinated. So that's 2 of the big 3.

    Really pissed I didn't track the tournament better. It's absolutely unseasonably nice here today tomorrow and Wednesday. Generally it's high 90s there and that has little appeal for me.

    Changes everything about Jack on the court when he's got the FH cooking. Confidence, swagger, energy. It all jumps a level.

    That hold was so massive. Started with a thought to be Ace got called a let, and then Sock dumped the easy volley into the net
