Zendaya and Tom Holland are there. They watched the women's final as well.

oops, got it wrong by a game! I really shouldnt try to predict the score!
Iga keeps producing bagels, I wonder how many bagels have been served on this court versus other tournaments - that is anoer mark of a slow court.

My daughter said Sakkari had no business making the final. I tried the parity argument and the new coach argument but she wasn't having it.

As for that second set of the men's final I'm interested to read what you guys thought. I was half watching it but from the commentary it seems that Medvedev just decided he had a plane to catch after Carlos snatched that first set from him.

So nice I had to post it twice. A ground level view of the shot of the tournament by Carlos Alcaraz.

Medvedev has been irritated since the first set of the semifinal against Tommy Paul, and it started to boil over in the 2nd set of the final. in the final game he was yelling at someone in the crowd.

I did see him yelling but I didn't know why.

Medvedev has to re-think his temper tantrums. They truly do not benefit him. He is not early McEnroe, who elevated his level when he got angry (later Mac lost that ability). In Daniil's case, every time he gets it going with the crowd, he loses the match.

I'm sure I saw quotes from him saying that he knows he needs to learn to let things go, and play with a more even keel.
