Sure looks weird to see Novak with 12 winners and 13 unforced errors in a match where he's up 10-2 in games.

Guess De Minaur having 3 winners and 16 UE doesn't help. Must be an ugly match.

TP serving for the match. Not expecting a choke here.

The one thing this tournament nails is not having the Line Judges and Reviews.

It keeps the pace so much better.

TP with his best showing ever in a Grand Slam. Well done.

LFG.

3 Americans in the quarters. At least 1 in the semis. Beautiful sight to behold.

Crazy that two Americans are favored in the semis. No idea when the last time that’s happened.

Apparently it’s the first time there have been 4 1st time quarterfinalists at a major since 2005, and first at the Aussie Open since 1991. That’s incredible. It kind of feels like a women’s major draw.

How would yall rank the remaining Americans?


I think Novax beats everyone left in the field rather easily.

Ben Shelton will be 1 in the world and win multiple grand slams

Korda will likely get top 15 maybe top 10 one day

Paul will continue to like vapes

Why is ESPN2 not showing Joker and instead ESPN+? This has happened a few times this week. Wtf.


Because it's obvious this week that ESPN doesn't give two shits about covering the tournament. It showed last Monday when they had the postgame of the MNF game on both ESPN and ESPN2 at the same time instead of putting tennis on one like they were scheduled to do.

Weakest major field for the year. Joker may not break a sweat. 2 college kids playing to get into the quarters? They wouldn’t get out of the second round max any other year.

Facts, the women’s side is playing better quality tennis compared to average than the men.

No Alcaraz, no Kyrgios. So the number 1 player in the world isn’t there. Neither is 18 or 21. But, go ahead and post more shitty memes from 2005 loser.

So they have the

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,19,20,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,30,31,32 ranked players in the world playing, and that’s not better than womens tennis?

Rublev is more than capable of making Djokovic break a sweat.

I'll cede that Shelton's run is luck of the draw considering he's pretty much played upper level challenger level competition so far.

It will be interesting to see if this is the year that Tsitsipas can finally get over the hump.
