What are you talking about for starters

Lawd have Mercy, you have got to have some post teens or mid 20s people you know

BTW when the new rankings come out on Monday, Brandon Nakashima who started the year at #135 has now reached a career high of #40,
Well done Brandon!

So Novak Djokovic didn't win a slam in 2024

So Novak Djokovic didn't win a slam in 2024

Good omen: Every 7th year, Djokovic doesn't win a slam. 2010, 2017, and now 2024.

What the h* is wrong with Machac today? He never makes that many ue's?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

No messing around for Jack Draper today as he races past Machac 63 61 62 to advance to the QFs!
This is Jacks maiden QF at a GS
Jack first British man to reach the USO QF since Andy Murray in 2016
BTW Jack is now #23 in ATP live ranking
Jack is yet to drop a set at the USO
Will play either de Minaur or Thompson in the QF

Meddy hands a bagel to Borges in the 1st set
Meddy leading Borges 2 sets to love 60 61
This is just a practice session for Meddy 60 61 63 over Borges
JMac said at one stage Borges legs 'have gone'' he did play a 5 setter against Mensik in his previous match

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW Alcaraz and Zverev have qualified for Turin at the end of the year, joining Sinner who has already qualified

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Fire Alarm in the building where Hawk Eye live operates
Play Suspended Everywhere!
Play has now resumed on all the courts

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What the hell is going on with the mens matches today
De Minaur handed Thompson a bagel in the 1st set? de Minaur must have visited the same bakery as Medvedev earlier

 

[PhiEaglesfan712]

de Minaur defeated Thompson 6-0, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5. This ensures the streak of seeded players winning slams on the men's side will continue. Gaston Gaudio remains the last unseeded player to win a men's slam, doing so at the 2004 French Open.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

de Minaur will play Jack Draper in the QFs

TP w/ two first names is also an eternal choker. Dude had a 2 break lead and chances to go up in the TB and he stuffed them all.

If he couldn't take advantage of a 2 break lead, he's not winning this match.

My Italian was just getting his 'beany legs' warmed up when he was fell behind Jannik's TB record at present is second to none
Won 14 of his last 15 TBs

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

If he couldn't take advantage of a 2 break lead, he's not winning this match.

You really thought he would?

 

[Moxie]

You really thought he would?

No, but TBH, I did think for a minute there he'd win the first set.

I haven't watched all of the matches today, (men or women,) but most of it has been pretty boring. Very disappointing.

This side of the draw w/o Charles In Charge is a bit dull. I mean Bean is cool, but usually quite businesslike. The remainder of these players today is like watching paint dry.
