Your robot umps were screwing up left and right in Cincinnati. During the Alcaraz Djokovic final a robot blurted out “out” while the point was still in play. LOL. A human (the chair ump) made them redo the point. Didn’t see this kind of bs at Wimbledon or Roland Garros.

So there was a let issue or not last night? For being a modernize the world guy you seem stuck in the way past about something as simple as getting this stuff right

Do you even watch tennis?
There was a let issue again today. I like modernizing strategies but you know what else I like? Quality. Your robot umps suck.

The heat was absolutely crazy yesterday and the previous night. Saw a few serves in the 70mph range and a lot of double faults that you normally don’t see at the elite level. Sorry I don’t have a link.

Let's Go Coco.

If Coco and Ben win it just wow. That would be something else. Especially if it’s Ben Shelton taking down the dreaded Daniel Medvedev in the finals.

I like Coco's odds. Don't think Shelton is going to take down Djokovic just yet.

He’s doing some dumb stuff out there. Trying to hit a heater for a second serve is just crazy and won’t cut it against the Joker. If he listens to his dad and cleans up some of his strategy I think he has a shot. His power is unreal and I don’t think even the Joker can play defense on some of the points he constructs.

Took me like two seconds. I can confirm there was a lot of matches impacted the Cincinnati tournament. Regarding the let calls you are just going to have to go to the US Open find one of the McEnroe brothers and ask them about it. Either that or you could be an adult and take my word for it.

The let calls are usually legit but the controversy stems from the rule correct? Some don't even make the net move and make to seem like having the let rule is dumb why others get into the net and make it make sense.

Thanks for the link to the Cincinnati video but that doesn't have anything to do with lets or the us Open. It was cute that the video replay technology failed epically to work when first tried at this year's open.

Coco about to drop a 5-1 serving for the first set lead

She breaks at love to hang on 6-4

If Ben Shelton takes down Djokovic this will go down as one of the best sports weeks of my life.

Lions
Coco Gauff.

Women's Final is going to be like Rocky vs. Drago.

Sabalenka is a better sports villain. Coco USA vs an athlete from a foreign hostile power. Sabalenka is probably the better player than Coco but the home crowd advantage is going to be huge. Expect a few USA chants throughout the match.

Medvedev wow match point and misses 4 straight serves

by aualum06 2023-09-08, 22:41

It takes 4 match points but Medvedev takes.out Alcarez

Coco wins sets 2 and 3 with ease and the ship

Only 19 she's going to be good for awhile it looks like

by **steveschneider** 2023-09-09, 18:33

Last two days when I’ve watched and rooted for a player they lost. Today I did the right thing and did not watch. You are welcome.

by **NigelUno** 2023-09-09, 20:31

I think Coco just frustrated Sabalenka. She kept trying to hit it harder and harder, and lost control.

Coco seems like a good kid. Easy to root for.

by aualum06 2023-09-10, 20:01

Medvedev had a shot with the set point in the second but couldn't get it done
