Yep, thought that one was a toss up. Went with the wrong toss. :lulz1:
LOL! I thought Murray would win, I must say his coach Ivan Lendl has put on heaps of weight, needs to stay away from Macca's I think :)

Murray is a classic player and I should have gone with him, but oh well. I actually know who Ivan Lendl is because he is one of the all time greats. Never really seen him play but I do know who he is.

Medvedev looks like he is dying out on court, I know he hates the hot weather, I remember at the Olympics last year, he asked the umpire if he died on court would he pay the funeral costs LOL! .Meddy has a great dry sense of humor
Meddy having no trouble in his first rd match

Very tough choices this USO draw challenge. I mean it's easy for Rafa fans, you just pick him as a winner and all the rest falls in place more or less.
Because that's how it worked for Novak last year... Nadal is not guaranteed to win.

So you actually had RBA beating Nick Kyrgios? I didn't see that happening. Actually I also have Nick beating Daniil as well.
With Kyrgios saying he can’t wait for the tournament to be over so that he can go him, I decided to pick RBA. I almost took him out in the first round to his buddy, Kokkinakis, but at the last second changed my mind.

Matches have begun! Let me turn on ESPN … wait … nope, they’re showing a chat show. Let me try ESPN2 … nope, another chat show. Well, they were showing the qualification matches on ESPNews the other day, let me try that … no, still no US Open. They must have allowed the Tennis Channel to show them since they aren’t … nope, they’re showing the 2009 women’s Wimbledon final. :face-with-symbols-on-mouth:
That sucks, hope they are showing live tennis now? We have the USO coverage on Amazon prime video, do you not have any streaming services showing the tournament?

I didnt believe Nick for one moment saying he cant wait to go home, I mean he is playing singles and doubles

Tommy Paul serving it out at 6-5, 30-0 in the fifth.

EDIT: He wins! Well done. That was a grueling 5 setter.

Yes, they’re showing live tennis now, but the only way to watch more than one match is to subscribe to ESPN+.
I can tell ya, ESPN + and Tennis Channel + for the tennis fan is worth it. Now my parents pay for it so I don't pay for it so that is even more awesome for me but it is way worth it. We got ESPN + in a bundle thing when Disney+ came out when I was younger with Hulu in it as well. I don't know how much any of it costs because my dad pays for it all but I watch it a lot, especially Tennis Channel Plus.

Don Fabio,
'If you are around who did you pick to win btw
I went with your guy Sinner. As I said tough choices this year. I feel like Rafa will not win and that left me with plenty to think about. Thought Alcaraz might summon his A game and go deep, but again he has possibly Coric in R3 and that could go either way. I have Medvedev - Fritz and Rafa - Sinner semis, Sinner and Meddy in final.

But again Rafa could win it after all. My early picks today are trash, hopefully it improves later. We will see.
