    Big time stuff from Madi closing out a super tense and tricky 1st rounder.

    Fognini has always been one of the weirdest and wildest tennis players. Him pushing Alcaraz at age 38 is hilarious.


    He is kind of like off brand monfils but small and Italian

    And Zheng down on the women’s side. Wimbledon is always open for the women but that just paves the path for someone bizarre to make a run.

    Would be nice to have the TNT coverage for this. They really did a great job having their studio crew explain why they sucked on clay. Would be interested to hear their take on grass.

    The streak of Monfils exerting all his energy to pull off one epic upset in the early rounds of the major continues. must suck seeing him on your line in round 1 of a major these days.
