Felt like a valedictory speech from Novak, he's too classy to impose his statement over Carlos's moment, but that felt like a moment. #AusOpen

We're 3 sets deep and this match has yet to ignite, it may never. Such is the challenge with finals: prestige does not equate to quality

What a cynical cash grab cloaked in the veneer of equality! Shifting women to BO5 is not about the sport or equal pay, it's more time to monetize a session selling Aperol Spritzes, sweatshirts and sandwiches. One that, given well-documented declines in attention spans is short-sighted.
WHY? The women's final was great! The best Novak/Carlos match ever was the 3 setter at the Olympics.

Sounds like the wind may not be a factor on Rod Laver Arena, but I'm surprised commentators weren't calling out Djokovic's (relative) struggles in windy conditions

For all the breathless anticipation ahead of this match, the tennis has not exactly been transcendent. Finals are often a hit-or-miss proposition, but we've got at least two sets to go #AusOpen

American Eliot Spizziri takes the first set over world no. 1 and two time defending champ Jannik Sinner, @Espn(2) is showing college gymnastics. Super frustrating coverage

The current list of black men to win #USOpen singles:
Arthur Ashe
That's the list.
Felix is chasing serious history as well as Jannik Sinner in this semifinal.

I'll be honest, I'm excited about the new look mixed doubles at the US Open as a bold test case. That said, this event has taken all of the oxygen from Winston-Salem, Monterrey and Cleveland. I would've be excited if I were running events the week prior to the other majors.

Jim Courier just called for Challenger level tournaments to trial 2 sets plus a match tiebreaker, before potentially shifting tour events to that format, to solve the growing attention issues in #tennis. I could not agree more! Matches shouldn't be endurance tests for fans.

Agreed, fail fast and change course
Look, we tried it, it’s failed, now stop.
The extended masters format is a bad idea
👎 The tournaments drag on
👎 Players are breaking down
👎 Fans are fatigued
👎 Finals are scheduled on weekdays 👎 One tournament is running into the other

This schedule is ridiculous, why would we have a Thursday finish in Canada, and the first rounds starting in Cincy. Not a fan of the 12 day masters, not one iota

It was just guts and gumption that got Mboko over the line in Montreal tonight. What a battle vs Rybakina

The Carlos Alcaraz experience: 15 minutes of sublime, otherworldly play followed by 10 minutes of THIS guy won five majors?!?

People who know I love tennis always ask if I'm going to the final. I usually pass on buying those tickets because this kind of whitewashing is as much a possibility as a Sincaraz at Roland Garros instant classic.
