[Azza]

Imagine going to sit in the sun for hours on end and not taking any precautions.

Is it Agassi on co comms here?

Yep, he's been pretty good

Yep, he's been pretty good

I can't remember hearing him before, I am struck that he sounds rather laid back, like, singing back up vocals for a cheech n chong album.

Weird last game from Alcaraz to lose the set

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Fritz playing at a very high level. He is right there if Alcaraz ever blinks, like he just did at the end of the second set.

Still think Alcaraz finds another gear. But happy with the effort so far from Fritz

 

[gonetomorrow]

Fritz looks a bit subdued now.

 

[Rita_Poon]

comms quite amusing, not often get both giggling at the holder going after a ball he wasn't getting to even if he'd been fired out of a cannon.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Alcaraz has opted against going to the Fritz back hand, now the focus is on moving him about and setting up the drop shot. Fritz can't cope.

'kin James Bond convention in the royal and special guest boxes. Mirror shades and moody looks everywhere.

 

[Rita_Poon]

"you never bet against a world number one" whichever brit motormouth is waffling away, with no realisation that Sabalenka went out less than 24 hours before on the same court.

The quality in men’s tennis is so poor these days isn’t it. How can you be ranked 4th in the world (Draper) and you’ve only ever reached 1x grand slam semi in your career

Agassi - "this guy is like the matrix"

To be fair, the quality is higher than it's ever been. Draper has kind of come out of nowhere the last 9 months.

It's just that the Big 3 and now the Big 2 plus Joker are on another planet. The gulf between them and the rest is immense. Fritz would have won a major by now playing like this in the pre-Fed era

Fritz is being forced to go for way more offense than he's used to. Way more high risk play.

All because Alcaraz is so great
