A few people are wearing Boss after Babycakes signed w/ them 2 years ago

BTW He won his first match in challenger yesterday, Hmmm noone wears Boss like Matteo just saying

 

[nehmeth]

whatever it takes and is legal

He came out for the 2nd set and his head was dripping wet! Now the next ask: having him string two good matches together.

ALL 4 Men’s QF matches will be fun to watch tomorrow! Sinner/Lehecka is the only match in which I can see a competitive but straight set win for Sinner

The other three QFs: those should be fun matches with either one of players can win the match.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

IW1000 QFs,

(2) Alcaraz vs (6) Zverev
(3) Sinner vs (32) Lehecka
(4) Medvedev vs (7) Rune
(17) Paul vs (9) Ruud

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

As much as I like Sinner being on a win streak, I never feel it is good being on a win streak moving into the next slam. While I would like the streak to continue, I am also like let’s get the loss out of the way before the next slam. Then again, that’s my mind, I’m like ahhhhhh…

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

In windy and cooler conditions Sinner d Lehecka 63 63, Jiri made too many ufe.
19th consecutive win
16/16 in 2024, Jannik is the youngest ATP player in the Open Era to start the season 16-0 record
Reaches the SFs for the 2nd consecutive year! 6th Masters SF
SF between winner of Alcaraz - Zverev
Jannik Forza!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Tommy Paul beats Casper Ruud 62 16 63 to reach his 2nd ATP Masters SF in IW, Tommy has been playing some good ball so far in IW

Holy toledo...play suspended due to bee invasion on Alcaraz v. Zverev!

 

[kskate2]

I just tuned in and was like WTH! Where did they come from?

 

[kskate2]

They're not on court 2. It seems localized to court 1

 

[don_fabio]

Wu Tang killa bees on a swarm!

They were just playing as usual and when Carlos was about to serve, the bees came swarming around him and all of a sudden there was hundreds of them, thousands even. They suspended the play immediately.

Crazy bees.

Wu Tang killa bees on a swarm!

I think they followed Will Ferrell

This is as bizarre as it gets. I've never seen such a thing. Ok, some insects and birds here and there, but nothing like this.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Who let the 'Bees Out" lol! I have seen heaps of insects at the AO , first time for Bee Invasion

Whatever they used to clean that spider-cam in between matches is attracting them.

 

[kskate2]

It's the only explanation.

Yes, they were swarming it, and finally they raised it up. Goodall said the beekeeper is on the way. Maybe he brings a queen to lead them away? This is going to take awhile, I would think.

 

[kskate2]

I wonder do they keep an exterminator oncall

It could take hours to get them into a cage
