Seba Korda gets his first Top 20 win against the Italiano, Fognini, a couple of days ago and the tonight he gets his first Top 10 win by handling the Schwartzman in 3 sets. 

Isner, Tiafoe, & Fritz all lost, so Seba is the only Yank still around.

Jamie Jacques is out of Camarillo, CA.

I have shit in the bathroom of the 24 HR Fitness in Camarillo, CA, so apparently I have a Jamie Jaquez connection that I didn’t even realize.

Yep, about 6 months ago I said that Korda was the only American hope for a top 5 player.

I like Tiafoe but his technique is terrifying.

Opelka is awful like Isner, Fritz is improving but something just doesn’t click, and I’m blanking on one other....

Canada survives, that was quite the battle. 

Bianca’s mom looks like Eastern European Nouveau Rich Euro Trash. 😂

Dad looks like a doctor who jogs 40+ miles a week and drives a Buick or a Honda. 
 

Re: Tiafoe

For someone who grew up at a tennis center, his lazy last minute whipping forehand that looks more appropriate for TABLE TENNIS than lawn tennis is kind of shocking.

DAMN!

Bautista Agut breaks Medvedev at 4-4 and then serves out the first set and then turns around and breaks Medvedev to start the second set. 

That little [Spaniard] ain’t playin’ around today!

Anyone up?

I’ve got Barty, Bianca, & Sakkari left in my Sudden Death League. Do I take the most likely winner in the SFs now (Barty -205 over Svitolina), or hope Bianca bounces back after her long match tonight to beat the incredibly fit Sakkari (Bianca -175)? Taking Barty now (assuming she wins) at least guarantees me a finals pick. 

No $ involved, just points for the season race.

It’s a coin flip. I would give the edge to Bianca normally but I just don’t know if she can fully recover in time for her match today, especially considering she just rejoined the tour 2 months ago after a 1.5 year layoff. I would probably take Sakkari but really could go either way

Bianca/Barty at fucking noon. That should be a 6:00 match. 

It should be at 2pm.

The Final Four starts at 4:15pm (or so).

Only other reason for the early start would be predicted rain.

Gael's game & life are in turmoil and that weight is probably not working for Svitolina. This line:

"The decision was incredibly difficult, because we still have love for each other, but it's just two best friends realizing it's time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled life as possible."

That reads like someone who has decided to cut bait.


In other news... WTF with Sinner losing last night? Tyrolean Golden Boy... (I laugh every time they refer to him as "The Italian".) gets sunk in the 1st round. His rocket ship to the Top 10 needs to be returned from the launch pad for some tinkering and refueling.

Thanks @shadow_operative2.0 for the heads up about Rogers/Gauff.

Well, that shit flipped quickly. Getting married now.

The fans must have been upset and her Q score and click-through started to tail off. 

I’m happy for him (I think). Hopefully this is what they both want and if so, hopefully they actually get married (rather than stay engaged for 2 years and then one gets dumped by the other’s cheating ass. 🤷‍♂️
 

Does Sinner win? Or Hurkaczsśč?

Foreigners won in Miami, including a Japanese doubles girl who was born in Mountain View, CA, raised in Palos Verdes, CA, and went to college at UCLA.

Almost as Japanese as Naomi.

People played tennis last night and today. 
 

Some have been winning, but about half of the players have been losing. 
 

SURPRISING losses in Colombia:

Clara Tauson & Sara Sorribes Tormo
