Same as the women’s draw, the men have wound up with the best 4 players left playing in the semifinals. This is going to be good. Almost as good as the wine the Tennis Channel announcers are drinking. Speaking of good, the bracket comps have a number of really good brackets going, with UofLForTheWin leading the men’s and Juja13 leading the women’s. Businessman looks to have the odds comp locked up, with an ROI of 97% which is, literally, absurd. Also, there are two incredible tennis matches tomorrow, so here are some thoughts.

Semifinals are here and despite these not being the names we may have expected, these matchups could not be more exciting. It’s a rare occurrence, but the 4 players left in each draw are the 4 players who’ve been playing the best in the event.

Getting down to the business end of things at the USO. Sakkari and Andreescu are going the distance, so I’m posting this now. I’ll update it in the morning once a winner is decided. Ladies first tonight.

ATP & WTA matches are in one post tonight. Shoutout Jinkomhub and Juja13 who are leading the ATP and WTA bracket comps so far. Special nod to Businessman, who leads the odds comp.

Some reallllllllly tense matches on the WTA including Anisimova almost pulling off a huge upset. Apologies for getting this up so late. As the matches start to become a bit less “all 14 matches at the same time” I’ll be able to write while I watch. There are too many good players on the WTA right now and this is about to be the best major that the WTA has had in a long time.

Some of these matches are taking years off my life! Luckily turtles live forever. Or so I’m guessing? Anyway, here are 15 tennis matches. Brooksby match will be added tomorrow, and the WTA will go up in about an hour or so.

THE FIRST ROUND WAS SO FLIPPIN GOOD! Unfortunately round two might be some rain delays, but with the number of blowouts projected the tournament may stay on schedule anyway.

First round impression from the US Open are that the courts are playing really fast. Big hitters are thriving, and the hot and humid conditions are making a lot of matches go the distance. Personal impressions are that watching 16 tennis matches at once is not ideal, so I may consider becoming a spider.
