That whole bee thing from all the staggering amount of bees to the Lance Davis Killer Bee Removal show was one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen during a live sporting event. I had to show my wife a replay of it because it's just not something you see everyday.

Medvedev is such a baby. He should have been apologizing for mocking Rune's shorts which I thought was poor sportsmanship during a match.

I mean, Rune did nothing wrong, there's nothing in the rule book that says you can't hit a ball at your opponent who's at the net. It's also not Rune's fault that Meddy didn't see that he immediately apologized which is proper decorum. Both guys can be fiery at times and I don't mind matches getting spicy.

[GirlySports]

It's just head games. It's not like Medvedev is really mad, he's just trying to intimidate a less experienced player. Keep up Rune's reputation of being unlikable.

If you need your tourney to stay on schedule, you can usually count on Iga.

Charlie and Jannik are going three sets - What a backhand down the line by Chariie to save a break point in that prior game.

I'm really beginning to dislike Sinner, he's so good he's going to be a thorn in Alcaraz side for years.

Sinner appears to be having a leg issue (could be cramping a little) and he also injured his wrist diving for a volley. Charlie up a double break in set 3.

Carlitos awaits the winner of Meddy vs. Paul looking to go back-to-back in Tennis Paradise.

It will be interesting to see if Meddy changes tactics today and stands much closer to the baseline versus Charlie. If he thinks he can beat Alcaraz staying 10+ feet behind the baseline, he's going to be in big trouble.

[Erick Estrada]

Was hoping Paul would get to the final but once he twisted his foot in the tiebreaker it was match over. Hoping Alcaraz pummels Medvedev.

Another bagel for Iga, are we watching the career of a top 10 player of all time?

Yup, that tracks

There is a reason why you don't see my posting about how much I dislike Richard Gasquet

She is the clear #1 on the women's tour and much more trustworthy of delivering a win than Rybakina or Sabalenka. Barring injury, I can see her acquiring 12-15 grand slams before she calls it quits.

Yeah he was being a bit of a baby once again. It's clear the Alcaraz fan support got to him. Sinner looks like he may be the real deal but when Alcaraz is on his game, he's the best player in the world. He's the most talent gifted player since Federer IMO.
