I am in Sports. Used to write words on baseball. Always waiting for Roland Garros and the US Open. Marcus Smart is a future HOFer.
He's gonna post a 2.25 ERA somewhere other than the Bronx this year. Can feel it in my bones.

My way of coping with being awake is looking at Eastern Illinois game logs from the pandemic season.

Between our Dodgers and Lakers, what a time in LA. I've always said Marcus Smart is the Yoshinobu Yamamoto of basketball.

Absolutely the same. I've always felt the worst way to lose is to have an incompetent bullpen ruin an otherwise good team and have been spoiled by the Yankee bullpens of the last few decades. This has been a frustrating comeuppance.

FYI, FanGraphs has Minor League options near the top of their player pages. They added it within the last few years. Very useful (I looked it up for Doval after his first Yankee appearange lmao)

We were also one point away at RG in the Muchova year, and then we had same half issue at the 2022 US Open. Just awful luck for getting that final.

30. Hon-Li full match. Sadly, Pri Time came to a close. Li was just more consistent even with a poor second serve.
31. Last 1.5 sets of Krejcikova-Navarro: Wowza, Krej comes back from down 0-3, 0-30 to take the final set. Good match despite meh crowd on Grandstand.

28 continued: Shelton's injury was unfortunate. Could immediately see how it limited his forehand, leading to a game of just serving and volleying. The disappointment on his face was palpable.

28. Shelton-Mannarino, all of match but end of Set 2: Shelton looked strong but Mannarino is so good at just getting everything back. Will return to this next post.
29. End of Paolini-Vondrousova: Sadly, Jasmine looked exhausted. Just didn't have it.

26. Pri Time! Priscilla Hon is a fun watch, got to see her final set of a 3-set win over Samsonova. She took it to her!
27. Paolini-Jovic 2nd set. Jasmine looked solid, but Iva put up a real solid fight. Kader Nouni chair ump!

23. Kym-Nakashima, end of 4th/full 5th set. Fun back and forth, Kym's serve so good. 5th set breaker!
24. TIAFOE! Saw 2.5 sets before leaving. He looked solid. Damm, meh.
25. Rybakina-Valentova final set: Couldn't get into see Townsend, saw a really solid set ending in a breaker. Good dub for Ryba.

20. Emma Raducanu R2, first 1.5 sets. Emma cruising like it's 2021. Tjen good forehand, rough backhand.
21. Last 5 games of Navarro-McNally. Emma looking solid in a year where she has been up and down.
22. Joao! First 1.5 sets of Fonseca. He was not quite it today.

18. Priscilla Hon! Had to fight for two sets vs. Niemeier but she got it done.
19. Sadly, Michael Zheng just didn't have enough vs. Jerome Kym.

13. Llama Ruiz's final set of his win. Good stuff.
14. Hugo Grenier taking out Martin Landaluce, last few games. Landaluce hit a point far out of the stadium after a point win. Not quite ready, mate.
15. Aranxta Rus beating Jodie Burrage, last set on Court 17. Real tense, close jawn.

9. Aoi Ito! Saw full match, she plays in such an off-kilter way. Fun!
10. Virtanen losing to Riedi in spurts from across the court. Sad.
11. Last 2 games of Aiava's win. Wanted to watch after catching some of her loss to Ryba in '24
12. J-M Cerundolo, last few games of his loss. He was mad!

7. Mixed Doubles semifinal No. 1: Yay Iga, sad for JPeg. Draper didn't carry his weight.

Forgot to resume post rain, but interlude, saw Tiafoe-Cilic, Rublev-Khachanov and Andreeca-Bencic practice while reading Changover. Seeing Marat Safin and Conchita coaching was v cool

6. Got to watch 45+ min of Cazaux-Clarke, with Arthur getting two points from a 6-3 set win before rain hit. Oh well. Cazaux's serve is quite solid. Shoulds won this set already tho.

Wish I had the photo, but Evans saying "you got a bet?" and doing the 💲 handsign at the guy was all-timer. Starting fistpumping at the dude.
4. Lastly, saw final four games of Pacheco Mendez defeating Gueymard Wayenburg. Good crowd for the former, while the latter seemed out of gas.
