Lets see what Frances does for the rest of the year, he has been dismal, so far this year, one match dosent signal much to me, he likes to play the higher seeds eg Alcaraz. and yes does know how to play him, thats about it!
Seeing Carlos has a favorable draw it was good to see him having competition,it will pay off later at the business end of this slam. Carlos has too many weapons for Frances to begin with.I knew he would come through! eg the 5th set!
Sorry Don Fabio your instinct of a upset didnt happen:) better luck next time
Tiafoe is good on American hardcourts and he was in top ten last year and nothing is stopping him from going back to top ten.He is still young enough to right his ship...let him evolve like any other player.Lots of players are struggling and he is not the only one .Some players reach their potential later and some sooner than expected.
I am sure.once he gets a good coach everything will fall into place.I can take Tiafoe over Ben,Tommy and John Isner.

This is a good stat for Alcaraz,
He has played 12 5 sets matches so far in his career and so far won 11
( Berrettini AO 2023 was the only one to beat him)

Roger Federer talking to ESPN news, said he could be present for Andy's mixed doubles match with Raducanu, seeing he had a prior engagement and could not attend Murrays farewell tribute on CC yesterday

Well..maybe he is nursing an injury.Tiafoe was in top ten all of last year and there is still time to make noise on.the hardcourts .He has been without a coach almost all season.Tiafoe once took Roger to five sets at Ashe stadium.He might not be your cup of tea but he is fantastic charismatic talent.He is the most charismatic of all American men.Fritz is also badmouthing his opponents. I think the boys in the locker room dont care if they are called clowns..that's lockerrom talk.

Okay I know he has had injury so has other players
As I said lets see how he fares for the rest of the year, I understand you are a big fan, still one match which he lost , dosent mean he has turned around his game.
BTW I dont like a player on his charismatic abilities, more important factors in a players game than being charismatic? but each to their own :)

The mixed doubles match involving Murray and Raducanu has been scheduled as the fourth match on court No 1 tomorrow
People are a bit upset, it should be on CC, I feel that is over the top quite frankly as there are mens matches that were suspended because of rain and they have to take priority tomorrow to be concluded

He is forgettable with his thirst gf.
Same could be said about Fritz GF they make a good pair :)
Thats why I have always respected the wives of Federer, Nadal, Murray and Djokovic they are there behind the scenes to support their husbands,
Apparently these present day GFs etc is to be in trophy photos, putting up their instragram pages of themselves what they are wearing to the tournaments etc? Over the top to me quite frankly

Did you see what Tommy 's gf was doing when he was holding his trophy after winning Queens. It's embarrassing to say the least..just google it.

Paul and Fritiz PICk women like that.
Nadal and fed don't.
Anyway, an American wont' be winning this.
Pity ALcaraz and Sinner are in the same half, AGAIN. It should have been the final. I guess there's a chance Med or Dimi gets through on the top but not likely.
Have no idea who comes thorough on the bottom. Djok seems washed up, but you never know with him.
Alc looked a little less than his best self today. Hopefully he gets his sht together fast.

I agree with you that Frances is the most charismatic of the US men. And it does matter...tennis is entertainment, and Frances is very appealing. I know he doesn't have many fans around here, but I love him. He looks ready to take on the No. Am. HC swing. Fingers crossed!

I know you like to focus on the girlfriends, which I mostly try to stay away from, but I did look up that thing with Tommy Paul's girlfriend at the Queen's ceremony. "Cringe-worthy" is the phrase that came up a lot. Jeepers! Even Uncle Toni has never jumped onto the court to heft the trophy for the cameras, and he, amongst a lot of other coaches, would have had more right to. I used to think that players have models for girlfriends demonstrated a certain shallowness and lack of imagination, but these "influencers" are really a pain. Life is only worth the photo that documents it.
