Am I insane for taking Alcaraz's forehand over Federer's or Nadal's?!

Genuinely embarrassing look for the US Open.

Djokovic looks so damn tired in this first round match which means he's winning the title.

I think it would be fair to say this mixed-doubles tournament has traded legitimacy for mainstream popularity. I've seen more people than ever before talking about mixed-dubs but it does feel questionable to call it an actual major...
Regardless, I've had a great time with it!

I am irrationally excited about this, I'll always have a soft spot for Bernard tbh! 🙏
Lord Tomic just won the first set of round 1 US Open quallies. Sending thoughts and prayers he does a Raducanu.

Feel like we're all just waiting for Zverev to call here and he's just... not.

The actual worst thing about hinting for a job in media is that every job - even ones you think you might be qualified for! - are looking for someone with 5+ years experience, lol.

After watching Jannik Sinner win his match in 59 minutes yesterday, I can't wait to watch Carlos Alcaraz cruise through the first set, drop the second from a break up, and win the third set breaker in a 3 and a half hour epic later on today. 🙏

Radders' forehand down the line will win her more majors in the future, I swear!

I think we can all agree that Emma Raducanu is winning the US Open this year.

Winning your first tournament in front of a home crowd at 18 is absolutely fucking insane. Didn't think she had a chance and will happily admit that I was a fucking idiot for it!

What I most liked about that match was that it properly felt like an 18 year old trying to make a huge breakthrough into the final of a huge event. Messy, nervy, all over the place, and, now and then, unbelievable ball-striking. 🔥

It is almost 2 in the morning where I am but Victoria Mboko is simply timeless. Un-fucking-real.

Gauff really desperately needs to sort out those service yips because it's fine every now and then but it's getting to the point where you can absolutely predict when it's going to happen and that's a really bad sign.

There's something very appealing about the absolute messiness of Gauff's game. It's desperate, scrappy, an absolute shitshow at times. And yet, it usually finds a way. It's... life.

Tried to stay up for Raducanu's match last night but found myself falling asleep beforehand. From the highlights, it just looked like a demolition job from Anisimova and that's super impressive after that Wimbledon final disappointment.
