NEW: "The Corporate Sleaze"
The USO is over and we're left with a lingering ick about that orange guy and how the USTA handled it. Of course, we also talk Carlos and Aryna's big wins, commentating outside the lines, and actually protecting women in sport

Absolute carnage at the US Open
24000 people stuck outside Ashe, unable to reach their seats due to enhanced security protocols
Players will either be further delayed or walk out to a two thirds empty stadium - all so Rolex can tickle the ego of a fascist

Casper Ruud: I think Iga's an incredible player & not only her. I think women's tennis is really cool to watch these days. You have Sabalenka dominating. Iga has won already 5 slams in her young career. Coco is there now #3. So those 3 have been really cool to follow and watch.
