    Absolutely embarrassing by the USTA for how they handled the crowd today. Truly shocking stuff

    Silver lining for jannik is that he only expended 35 minutes of energy there. That’s about it though

    Having been to four football games that a president attended it sucks. Not sure what coulda been adjusted. Biggest thing is trying to get fans to want to show up way early

    yeah I get it. And getting in and out of Ashe is way more difficult than a football stadium. At a minimum they should have delayed the start a full hour

    Is there a reason why Carlos has sucked in Australia?

    In both losses he got really cute for some reason and lost both. Perhaps its early season bullshit? But Zverev played great in his upset win. And the other loss is Djoker

    Not taking a damn thing away from him but I think Sinner was hurt. Not that either are fully healthy after 2 weeks, but def not right.

    That said, Alcaraz was on from the first ball.

    If……… you believe some corners, when he was younger he wasn’t as committed, staying out late, perks of the job if you will. There was also rumblings that he didn’t arrive there in shape.

    That said he is 22. There’s no way he doesn’t get it dialed in.

    Most of the tour is broken/has broken in the last week. Other than the weird time zone adjustment with Asia, it’s why I stop watching after the US. Really should work to resolve things.
