    Getting better for sure. Seemed like we had a few years of shit didn’t matter until semis or finals. I’ll take it.

    Yeah, that's basic Umpiring 101. If the guy can't get that right, he needs a different job.

    Jannik breaks Rune at 4-3 in the 3rd and he’ll serve for it. Fun fun match.

    Man. What a talent — one of those careers that accomplished a ton but also had the ceiling for so much more.

    Puig is a decent commentator. I did think Woz was far and away the best, enjoyed listening to her.

    Woz and Taylor Townsend are my two favorite player commentators. Eubanks is good too, as is Pavs.

    Anyone ever done the AmEx passes/suits at the US open? In general any rec’s for daily tickets would be appreciated. Should be there the 2nd Wed/Thurs.

    Rublev played out of his mind today. Think he was up 4-1 and he was going off. He did stay composed. Great win for him.

    There are a couple people in here who have done the suites but you have to search. They are not full time posters ITT or they randomly lurk. If you’re there the second week I’d think you want a seat in AA or Billie. There won’t be much side court action and GA will fill up the tops of both. Women's semis would be that Thursday and men’s quarters the day before. Only say that to emphasize that the tops will be packed.

    Sinner sounds like he's in real doubt for the French.
