Sock was playing out of his mind that first set, and now he can barely move?

Wow at Shelby Rogers coming back to beat Ash Barty. What caused Ash to unravel from up 5-2 (double break lead) in the third? I missed it.

A mildly interesting stat that I wouldn’t have noticed on my own:

Like so many, I woke up every morning to that guy as a kid. Here’s a fun moment that’s making the rounds in tribute.

Novak looks shaky this tournament. I’m sure not having played since the Olympics has a lot to do with it. Not enough matches under his belt. But Novak is always a bit off at the USO. The heat isn’t the issue this year. Kei is letting Novak off the hook in this fourth game of the second set.

Naomi says she doesn’t know when she’s gonna play her next tennis match. She’s taking a break for a while.

The McEnroe brothers are SO annoying. They are talking about nonsense when the ball is in play.

These 18-year-olds ain’t playing. I suspect she’ll do that. Oof. Leylah’s got moxie.

Leylah Fernandez is showing incredible composure while Naomi is losing it.

Naomi is sorta melting down in this tiebreak.

People got jokes. Indeed. That was a very poised, mature performance.

This match is amazing. ALCARAZ! He did it!

Sloane knows better than to get into crosscourt battles with Angie. Or at least I thought she did.

This Tsitsipas/Alcaraz match is pretty entertaining.

Sloane getting a little sloppy against a player she usually owns.

If only Brando did that move… We’re about to get in trouble with these GIFs 😂

Lol. I love how into these scenes Lisa Lo Cicero gets. Nice seeing Bobbie. I’ll never get over the name “Johnny Wactor.” It’s like an ‘80s porn moniker. He should be co-starring with Jeff Stryker.

Not Patrick McEnroe trying to make a joke about how much Pablo Andujar fücks (“three kids in four years… he’s a busy man!”) and James Blake not taking the bait…

The Anisimova/Pliskova match was really good. The women’s side is MUCH better than the men’s, but I’m only watching what ESPN airs on TV, so who knows what kind of stuff I’m missing.
