    i think he's going to drop a lot lower than 3. meniscus tear is pretty bad, i think?

    Zverev settles his abuse case with his ex girlfriend and makes his second major final. I wish Ruud were in the final but he wasn’t feeling well.

    Alcaraz struggled a bit but now has 3 of 4 majors! Has to be a real contender for Olympic gold if not the favorite.

    rafa announced he won't play wimbledon, but is playing doubles with alcaraz in paris for the olympics. that should be a fun tandem to watch on clay.

    I'll be glad to see him at the Olympics. That would be a great place to exit the sport.

    agree, but i would have enjoyed seeing him get a proper wimbledon sendoff. know he had some tough times there throughout his career, but he was half of the greatest match ever played (imo, certainly in my lifetime), and it took place there.

    i wonder if there's any chance he still plays the us open this year. i've been thinking about making a nyc trip if he does, it would probably be an expensive ticket though. last i heard him talk about it, he seemed pretty uncertain about his future after the olympics.

    Absolutely. Exiting on the clay of Roland Garros feels right.

    Before the day ends in the US, happy 14th anniversary to the Isner-Mahut match where Isner won the fifth set 70-68.

    this is a lovely sendoff for andy murray, in spite of the tough result. glad to see some legends and his contemporaries out there to show respect.

    His retirement presentation has set a record for most vomit anecdotes. Kudos. My kind of champion.

    Yeah hell of a match by Tiafoe although it looks to be about to hit its inevitable conclusion.

    tiafoe had his moment when he was one winner away from match point, up 5-4 in the fourth.

    once carlos escaped to hold and and got his momentum rolling in the tiebreak, it was a foregone conclusion. such a special player.

    Yeah Alcaraz is him.

    Meanwhile, unranked Brit Kartal is holding up surprisingly well against Goff now.

    i know that nobody likes him, but a 37 y/o getting to the final of wimbledon after tearing his meniscus five weeks ago is pretty impressive

    must be the horse tranquilizer or whatever he took to keep the covid away
