    looks like Southern Cal frosh Learner Tien will advance to boys semis

    15 yr old Darwin Blanch is playing 17 yr old Harvard frosh Cooper Williams in another quarter. Darwin took out the #1 seed (a 6'3 kid from Mexico) in the first round.

    edit: Darwin won. Incredible run to the Semis.

    Days after being wrongfully defaulted out of women’s doubles, Miyu Kato wins the mixed doubles title with Tim Puetz from a set down. Hell yeah.

    Crazy to think a 2nd round loss in singles is almost the same prize money as Mixed Doubles Champion

    I feel like this is the 10th set I've seen this month that has 8+ holds and then the first breaker gets broken back

    Muchova having the match of her life. Still not good enough but I don’t think I’ve ever see her play this well.

    When Saba isnt shooting herself in the foot on service games she’s in her own category on the women’s side.

    Like clockwork after my last message haha.


    But huge props to her mental game.


    Muchova playing the the best I’ve ever seen her play. Saba has managed to stay calm and deliver in pressure situations.

    very impressive match for all involved.
