On a ‘90s alternative kick this morning...

OMG. Tsitsipas was playing so much better at the start of the fifth, and I fell asleep. I thought Coric’s almost 4.5-hr match against Londero would have taken its toll, and he’d run out of gas. That was a complete meltdown from Stefanos.

Wow at Stefanos imploding from 5-1 up in the 4th (with SIX match points) to let Borna take that set... Cliffy is right. Had there been a crowd, sh!t would be going off in that stadium.

LOL at the canned applause after double faults.

I dig bald Mannarino.

Such a sloppy performance. Sloane/Serena is 🔥 if both bring their A game.

Damn at Shapovalov. What a mess he’s made of this match.

Something’s going on with Mannarino. No one knows why his match with Zverev has been delayed. (Sascha’s just chillin’ shirtless watching the Shapo-Fritz match from his suite.) Mannarino was one of the people potentially affected by Benoit Paire testing positive for COVID.

If she weren’t on VH1, I’d probably recommend Michelle Visage as a moderator. She’s funny, quick, and sharp but also empathetic and sees through BS.

From Madrid, Spain 🇪🇸

Who would be a good replacement? I typically haven’t enjoyed moderators at reality-TV reunions. Gotta be gossipy and funny but fair, objective, and clear-eyed.

Konta’s out to Cirstea. Raonic is down 2 sets to 1 against his countryman, the pretty Popsicle.

It’s like beating a corpse.

Muguruza out to Pironkova. Garbiñe looked PISSED.

Not watching BH, but it’s been trending on Twitter all night, and Rinna, Erika, Teddi, and Kyle are getting pretty much pummeled everywhere you look.
