I'm excited to see Shelton again Novak. I don't expect him to win but I do expect him to come out on fire and make it interesting early on.

There you go Shelton

iite Shelton do ya thing sonny

 

[UpAndComing]

He is the one for the US men. This is the rawest version we will see. He still has a lot of room for growth. Low key, he has the potential to be Alcaraz's rival. Could be Fed/Nadal all over again.

Would love to see a Alcaraz/Shelton rivalry. This is just another indication that the current crop of young stars (Ages 24-31) has underperformed expectations and did nothing to challenge the 3 headed monster of Federer, Nadal, and Joker

The only ones that have done anything is Medvedev, Thiem (hopefully he comes back to form after his injury), and the jury is still out on Zverev

Unbelievable performance by Muchova...great all court tennis

Just peeped her last game. She is playing some great tennis. Gauff needs to be on her A game for this one

So true breh. He was a combo of power with amazing footwork. What slowed him down and made him retire, it was injuries right?

Injuries, switching coaches all the time, eventually started using the one-handed backhand from time to time, and just being a French player who ain't have that fight to work to go to the next level as well lol

That OHBH wasn't that bad from Tsonga

Rest of it valid

Sabalenka hasn't dropped a set this whole tournament

She's in championship form; if she and Coco square off in the finals it's gonna have Rock/Austin at WM15 type energy

wtf is up with this guy Rublev.
His style is just High as fukk or low as fukk.
No middle ground for him

A hell of a player, could've been double digits GS wise
Her parent must've forced her as a kid

On top of that he looks like he's high on coke

Did I just see Daniil return a serve 20 feet off the court?

And not one drop shot or even a shot to the other side? Just hit down the middle...

Alcaraz is going to annihilate him again assuming he gets past Zverev.

Rublev is the new David Ferrer. A good player who's a regular speed bump in the quarters or occasional semifinal for better players.
