I don't think anyone was more hard done by the draw than Ben Shelton. Defending SF points and getting Ugo Humbert in form. Massive win and a look on match point of the trait that makes him most special. Zero fear in his body.

Huge marketing day for the Djokovic x Incrediwear collab. In addition to the plane circling overhead, Novak made an appearance at the Tennis Warehouse shop.

It’s been great calling this my office for the last 5 days. On to Phoenix (CH)!

The Alex Eala experience is electric. I can’t understand resenting it. I resent empty stands and dead atmospheres.

Won’t shy away from the question dominating group chats. Predictable dominance is almost NEVER celebrated in sport. Sinner fans should know it comes with the territory. With Alcaraz injured, the competitive balance on the ATP tour is not ideal, strictly for entertainment value.

Justice for Moutet. We demand it.

What is Sinner’s most impressive record so far?

This point was absolute filth

This was one of those shots that might not look crazy to the casual eye... but it is certifiably crazy.

Jannik Sinner hits more leaping backhands than anyone. The low hands takeback he uses on that wing should make high contact points difficult. What you’re seeing is the workaround — leap off that right leg, raise the height of the shoulders and he’s eliminated the problem.

STAT: Since the start of 2025 we’ve only seen two 5-set matches in the second week of Majors. Alcaraz vs. Sinner RG Final Norrie vs. Jarry Wimbledon 4R The sample size totals 71 matches ahead of the AO ‘26 SFs. H/t Anthony Dabbundo

Really good demonstration of the difference in backhand speed.

This is timeless.

Hold and break leaders for the year. History made.

I had Brad Stine critique my FH 🤪

Tennis is one of the only sports with no audio-only option for most of the year. I’m always counting down the days for US Open Radio.

Ben Shelton has the best 2nd serve on the ATP tour right now.

Even the pros get bad coaching advice…

It’s not Alexander Zverev anymore. Who is the best man to never win a slam now? The slamless GOAT. I asked Hall-of-fame Historian Steve Flink.

What if tennis ball machines were actually smart? While in New York, I went to try the Aceii One for myself. It uses AI and ball tracking technology to rally more like a human, drill more like a coach, and provide feedback to the player. #PaidPartner

Musetti knows that durability has been an obstacle for him. When I asked him, a few weeks ago, what he learned from his Alcaraz matches last year, the first thing he said is that he needed to build physically. He looked to be in phenomenal condition this week until the injury 💔
