The point to 2-6 6-4 5-4 was funny!

Errani underarm serve
-> Wang attacks the net
-> Errani lob winner ;)
That was ridiculously good. lol lol

48 teams: my expectations were met (and surpassed).
Good: this is a solid basis to get back to 80+ participants by the US Open.

I entered a provisional team, and now I see that I went against one of my basic rules: never pick 3 players from the same half.... I did so on ATP-side with Thiem, Djokovic and Dimitrov.

Then again, I do not see a finalist in the other half, so I can live with it (I wanted Thiem and Novak anyway, so my lower-ranked would have been in the other section and probable lose early anyway.

WTA: I got Barty and Osaka on opposite halves, so that looks OK. And Rybakina is in R2 too.

1st blood spilled for six Sinners ...

Bravo, Shapovalov!
go firmly to the window
and listen with deep emotion,
but not with the whining, the pleas of the coward;
listen-your final pleasure-to the voices,
to the exquisite music of that strange procession

This is the tightest Skan start I have ever seen...
ATP#13 and WTA#13 gone in R1.. What's wrong with that number?

I wouldn't have Barty ranked that high on my team, if it weren't for the draw. She got a walk to the final.

Coincidental that you and I would have the same players, but I know that you love Serena, are loyal to her at the Slams and would give her that #1 slot even at her age. However, if they meet, I don't think she can handle Naomi, nor a rusted Andreescu if she had continued. Yet, we'll see as always if they meet down the road.

Good to see you and CCBH doing well at the moment.

even at 65, the retirement age, she'll lead my Skan team if she is in the draw. :) :)
