I hate when Stevie/media think he(Stevie) is relevant to tennis...ugh...

Jared Donaldson withdraws from the US Open....LL time.......

I did...when he said all that [!@#$%^&*] after losing to Tsitsipas...didn't give him any credit and I was already liking him less before that...the time when he fired his coach because he didn't want to be told what to do(after the Aussie Open)...it was Carlos Ferrero...I thought he was a good coach for him. A friend of mine met his brother and said he was very nice while Sasha was very cold......

Ugh..cant stand Sasha...I much prefer his brother over him....

He is good friends with Dominic Thiem. I've seen several pictures of them together. He seems to enjoy playing every tourney like Thiem....LOL

He is! He is my new fav tennis player.

Eh...they can talk about the US Open..thats more interesting than both tourneys combined....LOL

https://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/schedule/index.html Sebalenka is the real deal. What happened to Puig? I just saw her walk off the court in tears.

Wow Thiem and Tsitsipas on outer courts........looks like I will have to catch Thiem's match on ESPN 3/+ because I don't see it being telecasted on the extra US Open channels on TV. So many of my favorites playing on Monday. And Robredo should be comfortable on court 11 against Tsitsipas because that's where he played today or has played during Q's....

I saw some of Patty's match today on TC. I always liked her game. I can't believe she is playing at almost 40. Ha ....Young got DelPo.....he is a goner....and the match I thought might be intriguing if they played.....Tsitsipas got Tommy Robredo......

Don't care for either one since TC pimps both but I hope Felix beats Denis.

La casa de las flores

It's not even news. When did the FO become Wimbledon?

You didn't perhaps see Dominic Thiem practicing shirtless on the court? teehee

The bottom half of the draw is much easier with some less accomplished players. A better chance of making the finals..... Venus vs Serena 3rd round......winner gets possibly Halep in the 4th round.....

Alexander Zverev gets a qualifier in the first round. He has brought on Ivan Lendl to sort out his Grand Slam form and he should know all about fellow Czech Jiri Vesely, who might play him in the second round. Marin Cilic is the potential quarter-final opponent, which would be a terrific match-up. NOW we're drawing. Andy Murray gets a softish first round in James Duckworth of Australia and then will either place Fernando Verdasco or Feliciano Lopez. With Juan Martin del Potro potentially waiting the third, any slim hopes of the Brit making the second round have probably gone. The tie of the round is out and once again Grigor Dimitrov has drawn Stan Wawrinka. Ouch. Djokovic is out on the board. He’s got Martin Fucsovics than either Viktor Troicki and Tennys Sandgren. His potential quarter-final opponent? Mr Roger Federer, assuming he comes through to that stage. To do so, he might play the enigmatic Nick Kyrgios in the third round. Federer will play Yoshihito Nishioka and then either Benoit Paire or a qualifier in the second round. Roger is toast....LOL Murray vs Del Po third round..... https://www.usopen.org/en_US/draws/index.html?event=MS The draw still isn't complete yet....Roger has a horrible draw....LOL

I thought TC said she had special exemption but hadn't used it. I am surprised she wouldn't use it here. I wonder if she asked for a wild card and didn't get it? I think her ranking was in the top 50 when she got injured.

Yes...I saw that Kok won and he pretty much said that in his post interview with Brett Haber....LOLOL. He said he was just waiting for Tomic to tank the second set when he got behind in it....LOL It's nice to see the qualifying and surprised the TC gang is already in NY covering it. I see Bouchard is trying to be relevant still.....

Interesting Lendl popped up right after Sasha lost to Tsitsipas and an early exist at Cincy.

Christian Harrison and Sebastian Korda advance in qualifying.......Tomic is beating Kokokinakis in qualifying....surprised by that... I hope he loses early again. I am so over Sasha......

Watching qualifying on TC. Tommy Robredo on now....

LAWD.....FAINTS.....
