And good day to all… This one is going to go pretty quickly… I mean… not a lot to really report… But, the QUARTERFINALS!!!

Men… I need a way to explain this… I don’t know how to do it really… but we have 1, 2, 3, 4 to the semifinals… Asshat would have lost last night had it not been for the leg issue from #5 Musetti… 4-6. 3-6, 3-1 RET… do you see my frustration… I mean… we could have had only ONE villain in the end… now we have two… #(&*… Sinner took out #8 Shelton of the USA… 6-3, 6-4, 6-4… I read an article that Shelton is getting closer and closer to them… ummm wouldn’t you need at least a set to claim that? Just asking for a friend… Alcaraz finished off #6 de Minaur of Australia in simple style, 7-5, 6-2, 6-1… I mean, it is Alcaraz… a bit more focused under his new coaching staff… And the wifebeater over #25 Tien 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-1, 7-6 (3)… see, that is a fight… you can see the effort in the score…

The women… ok, let’s get it out of the way… the racket that shattered the world… break your racket… I don’t care… but… and it is a large BUTT, don’t make commentary that the cameras shouldn’t be there to watch it… You want the money that comes, expect the scrutiny… Don’t apologize… feel it and express it as this is what it looks like to be competitive… We don’t expect perfection, we expect honesty… own it and move forward… Coco… yes, I am talking about Coco… I know there are SEVERAL people in this draw that have had a fit or two over a play in tennis… Not everyone is Rybakina… #3 Gauff takes a very hard loss to Svitolina, 6-1, 6-2… We all still love you Coco… thank you for being human… Sabalenka over #29 Jovic of the USA… 6-3, 6-0… that first set was really fun tennis… well done Jovic… she is 18 and on her way up… speaking of Rybakina… she took out #2 Swiatek in straight sets… not a lot of surprise here… Swiatek is her own worst enemy… she is either all the way there… or just kind of checked out… I don’t think all the losses she suffered in the United Cup didn’t help her focus… 7-5, 6-1… great serving by Rybakina… and deep ball striking… not deeper than Pegula who took out OUR group’s main contender #4 Anisimova… I mean… Pegula toppled Keys… and now she has taken out Anisimova… both VERY heavy hitters… There is something different about the billionaire… I don’t usually watch her, but her serve has more spice to it and her groundstrokes are also heavier and deeper in the court… She took time away from the whiny baby on the other side of the net… I couldn’t believe the amount of pouty face memes we have out of that match from Anisimova… sheesh… you are 24 lady… let’s put on our big girl panties and move it along…

For you.. things are getting very interesting… Kresimir is hanging on to the Men’s draw by a thong string… yes, you heard it first… thong string… followed by Peter who came out of nowhere… well – 1, 2, 3, 4… yes… just saying… and Dan has taken over the lead with the lady draw and Eric is hot on his tail… More twists and turns to come… How far will Rybakina and Sabalenka make it… Dan has Rybakina to win… Will Sinner make the final against Alacraz and who will win? Those are the hot topics of conversation…
