Into the 2nd set and countless folks look like they’re still not seated

People should block every entrance so that fat felon can't leave.

Sinner wanted that, we have a match

I'd be incensed if I bought tickets for this and still wasn't inside the stadium. fukk the USTA for allowing this circus.

For allowing room for a raucous applause for our president Donald J Trump? A president some say may be the best president that has ever presidented?

 

[UpAndComing]

Sinner stepped it up another level, meditated like a Buddhist
Recruited lieutenants with ludicrous, dreams of
Getting cream let's do this, it gets tedious
So I keep one eye open like, C-B-S
Do you think he's Stressed? Can he live

Sinner needs to starting Serving better. Generate quicker points against Alcaraz

 

[Nero Christ]

Alcaraz played a sloppy service game and paid the price.

Gotta reintroduce that good slice back into the mix

Also what do yall make of the talk that Flushing is in fact a faster court than Wimbledon these days

 

[UpAndComing]

This match is good. Real good

 

[Yapdatfool]

Tennis wins when these guys play

I wouldn’t be surprised. Grass makes the ball slice on contact so that gives it the speed it has but the USO is playing quick but the bounce makes it feel a bit slower than grass.

There are measurements for court speed. Don’t remember which ones tho.

 

[TobiOT]

Alcaraz ain't playing games in this third set.

I don't like it. Grass used to be the fastest court or just as fast as US Open courts pre 2010. The homogenization of all courts making them slow really takes away all the skillsets needed to dominate on different surfaces. Personally I believe they did this to allow Baseline players to dominate the game and kill Serve and Volley tennis, but hey, these players are "so much better than older generations" right?

Jannik about to get a bagel?

 

[BlackAchilles]

Jannik avoided the bagel but still got the Italian restaurant experience and ate a breadstick
