·And that neither of them left the court at any time is so impressive and shows such dedication and respect. Truly epic levels of fitness. Looking forward to seeing these two meeting in grand slam finals many times in the future.
I go every year and it is always a great time. I have to admit a slight annoyance that ticket prices have more than doubled in the last 6 or 7 years, but I guess that is the price of the sport gaining popularity. I also have been going for a day during "fan week" the week before the tournament starts for the last few years. You can see the players practice and also the qualifying tournament. It is really enjoyable and you can get right up next to the courts. Admission is free! ...but the honeyduces are still $22, haha.
I got my tickets. Sept 1 Labor Day day session. I use to go every year when it was just me and my wife but had to take a break when the kids were born. Now that they're older, I can bring them along.

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersGreat comeback by Djokovic. Hopefully he will not make it through the quarterfinals. I have a bit of Djokovic-fatigue.
Let’s all enjoy a picture of one of the types of yoga Djokovic does. Looks like cocooned people from some sci-fi horror movie 😄😄
I do hope he doesn't do that after he's eaten or it's sure to make him puke up his donkey cheese....

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerWell, this was an absolute disgrace...59 year old billionaire gets (buys?) a "wild card" to play in 125 event.
Apparently you can now buy your way into an official ATP pro event, and have your opponents play well under their "best effort" which is clearly against ATP rules. And at the HOF open to boot.
I've never had much respect for Tomic, but I lost a ton for Jack Sock after this nonsense.

··Hears dead people, not watch rotors.Ref. to doubles, is it really necessary for the players to touch hands after every point? Looks ridiculous.

··His Holiness Puer SurdusBoth Fritz and Alcaraz played really well today. High quality match.
Will watch women's final tomorrow. Świątek totally dominated Benčič in the semi-final. I wonder how Anisimova will fare against her.

Having said that, the mixed doubles final was an awesome display of controlling nerves for Sem Verbeek, who has come from deep in the rankings to play with Siniakova, and hold strong throughout the match, his first GS final. So who knows…some people can pull it off so easily…

·The bagel factory was open for business. Bageled Bencic in the last set of the semifinal, and then two more today. Only lost 2 games out of the last 26!

Had a funny thing on Thursday night at the courts. Playing some fun doubles and someone asked about the Fritz/Alcaraz match. I said I hoped Carlos would win, and when someone asked why, I said so if Sinner lost he could beat Djokovic again. I was met with both approval and shock…
I was paired up with a new player to our club at the time, who I had no idea just happened to be Serbian…
oops! We had a good laugh. He said being Serbian it’s pretty much required that they cheer for him. I mentioned that Novak could probably run for president there after he retires, and he said in all seriousness it would be an easy win for him. Maybe in lieu of GS #25? 😉Similar threads
