    Thumbs up after the double fault was great. I instantly wanted him to win to have that moment

    last 2 sets from Dani nowhere near good enough to beat Novak. He hit some incredible shots but Novak wins all those tight games Carlos had a bunch of unforced errors

    “The players know”, or Tommy Paul is still in his feelings after losing to Shelton in the round of 16.

    did you miss the 2022 offseason when he didn’t report to camp for a week because he was recovering from it but blamed it on his family?

    Just lobbing the ball back and letting Sabalenka make errors. Granted I’m watching with half attention so maybe just a few outlier points I saw.

    Granted I turn it back on to an insane aggressive point lol.

    If coco can get her first serve in she wins this thing. Sabalenka is a fish out of water right now and can do nothing with it.

    The similarities in the way the match has played out vs Australian Open finals is sooooo similar

    Ryabkina was up a set and had break points to get the break in the first game of the 2nd set and missed

    Same here for Sabalenka
