That's a good question - Did ESPN request that he make an appearance, I don't know.

Brad the coach conflicted with Brad the tv analyst

Parents need to control their kids better as well - I felt bad for Coco as dozens of kids made their way courtside with their giant tennis balls when Coco was serving at 3-5 in set 3 yesterday. She's already having a tough day serving, you don't have to put extra pressure on her by sending your kids down just to get an autograph. I know that she's a professional and makes tons of money blah blah blah, but nobody deserves that kind of treatment.

I think if they weren't yelling between points or being especially distracting, that's fine? Dealing with the crowd is just part of the gig when you're playing pro sport.

Look at the rowdy courtside bar at the Aus Open or LIV Golf... times are changing.

Tommy Paul had a chance to beat Sinner tonight (should have won the opening set as he was up a double break) and Jannik was certainly not at his best through the opening two sets, but ends up winning in straight sets. I guess that's the ultimate sign of a great player, winning despite not having your "A" game.

Paula Badosa just hit a 119 MPH serve - That's certainly bringing the heat.

That was crazy, she had nerves in the opening set, but then she was playing great through the first six games of set 2 and then the nerves returned.

That's a fine start Taylor winning the opening set tie-break 7-2.

You know, Felix and Denis will likely not win a grand slam, but neither will Zverev because he plays like a small cat as Medvedev would say.

86 MPH second serve in the 4th set tie-break, as you said Girly, standing 12 feet behind the baseline and just trying to get the ball back. Meanwhile, Fritz is pounding forehands and keeping Zverev scrambling at the back of the court, you could see Taylor's mind was made up and he said "I'm ending this match right now".

One of Fritz, Tiafoe, or Dimitrov will play their first grand slam final on Sunday.
