Great to hear that the Schwartzman is back. He will be punching above his weight again in this tournament!!

Great to hear that the Schwartzman is back. He will be punching above his weight again in this tournament!!

You know despite his height,issue and his weapons, he has always made the most of them, he came through qualies at the USO not dropping a set and this will be his last GS of his career.I also read he is planning to marry later this year, and has new things in his life to look forward to, with his retirement pending

Order of Play for Round 1, Day 1, Monday, August 26, 2024

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ben Shelton v Dominic Thiem, starting on Ashe, who was awarded a WC, this will be Dom's last GS tournament pending his retirement
Dom won the USO in 2020.
My Upset Alert match is Brandon Nakashima over Holger Rune, Brandon has had a good Summer so far, also looking at Rune's draw going forward it is tough, though he did play well in matches in Cincinnati, he has the game and weapons to defeat Brandon,he will have to be 'on' in his first round match

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Dominic Thiem 'sGrand Slam career fittingly ends inside Arthur Ashe Stadium
Shelton d Thiem 64 62 62
Thiem is set to retire later this Autumn, likely at the ATP in Vienna
Dom receives a 'keep sake' from the USO

Just saw Zverev in a 'sleeveless' and what the hell is going on with his hair, a man bun with grease is not a good look!
Zverev wins in 4 sets over his fellow countryman Marterer

My Upset Alert Match between Nakashima v Rune
Brandon won the 1st set 62, though Rune can be a slow starter in his matches and this is the B of 5.

 

[kskate2]

Nakatomi will not be an easy out even if the Angel can get it together in time.

Rune is usually a slow starter in matches and this is a B o 5 though it is my Upset Alert Match Brandon has had a good Summer so far
