VDZ is a good player but I'm shocked that Carlito bows out. Barbora Krejcikova, the Wimbledon Champion, also got knocked out. It's not that big a deal, she's never been a factor on hard court.

Sunscreen controversy notwithstanding, Sinner's GF, Anna Kalinskaya, is eye candy.


The Tuscan region of Massa is famous for it's marble, Michelangelo would make trips to the area to customize his orders. Also tennis players, Jasmine Paolini and Lorenzo Musetti are from there.

With Carlito ousted and Rybakina withdrawing, the US Open has lost some luster. The Clostebol Kid crushed his second round opponent in just over an hour. The Lovely One has beef with him. He broke the unwritten law, bros before hos.


Meanwhile Jannik and Anna have been shacking up on Sardinia's Emerald Coast.

Stunning ladies. Both wore short dresses with a lot of exposure ;)
The match was incredible. Went to a 3rd set tie breaker won by Badosa

Gabriel Diallo is a qualifier, he's already played five matches to get to the 3rd Round. He plays Tommy Paul next.

I watched Shapo vs Sinner at the Aviva Center three years ago, Shapo won. Felix should do more training and less fucking, he's become the David Lee Roth of tennis. Keeping it in his shorts he may not choke so shamefully.

Regardless of what happens the rest of the tournament, this is one of the best US Opens. Joker is out.

Go Gabe.

Federer, Nadal or Djokovic did not win a grand slam this year. First time in 22 years 👏
Reminds me of the NHL. When Jerome Iginla led the league in points in the 2001-02 it marked the first time in 21 years Gretzky, Lemieux, or Jagr didn't lead the league in points.

The 2024 US Open has been an underdog's tournament so far. Djokovic bowing out was not really a surprise, he gassed himself in Paris. He won the gold medal for Serbia, at 37 his recuperative powers have slowed down.

I've been told I need glasses, Elise Mertens makes me stiff...and Madison Keys chokes again.

Gabriel Diallo lost to Tommy Paul in 4 sets after winning the first set. But he deserves applause considering he had to play a full tournament to qualify and then made it to the 3rd round of the US Open. Future seems bright 👏

JohnnyMac once said of Shapo's potential is unlimited. Probably true except the elevator doesn't go to the top floor. Diallo did well at the Canadian Open, which earned him a qualifier for Flushing Meadows. Hope he builds on it unlike those other two guys.

Sweet Iga learned a trick or two from her idol Rafa.
