I think this is going to be a fight. The only thing I think that can carry him to the finish line is Carlos has better experience at bigger stages than Tiafoe. Having the crowd in your favor can be just as much a con as it is a pro.

I missed the vote, but I don't really mind, as I'd hate to. Leaning slightly Alcaraz, but would love to see Tiafoe through. Apparently they hugged it out earlier on the practice courts. TV called it "The battle of the big grins." I think it could be really awesome.

Not sure, it has been acting up telling me server issues. The saving grace for Alcaraz tonight is Tiafoe is nowhere near the returner that Sinner is.

Tiafoe has a strong western grip on his fhand?
The Kid would be better at times to use the slice,

Maybe already noted, but Michelle Obama is in the house, and rooting for Frances, local boy to DC!

The Kid is fearless he was lucky on that shot that just caught some of the line
