Tonight only one channel and they are sticking with the Alcaraz thumping when Andreescu/paolini match could be on.

(Yes I could buy ESPN+ I am aware but I don't have it so I would rather whine)

The Alcaraz thumping has... turned around. A very high class 2nd set.

I brought that on myself. No chance now of watching either woman's match in the 3rd set

If you had DirecTV, you would get five free channels with nothing but tennis during the day session. Watching Raducanu v. Kenin now.

Paolini/Andreescu was a first round worthy of being a final.

Three of the four women who played in finals on Saturday lost in the first round here, continuing a long-time trend in slams. Only Haddad-Maia survived the curse, rallying to win in three sets.

Kessler got crushed by Kostyuk. Sun retired after losing the first set to Bronzetti. Noskova lost in straights to Putintseva.

Sofia Kenin after beating Emma Raducanu at the US Open

“Your support means so much to me. Thank you for keeping me going.. it was a rollercoaster. Emma is such a tough player. She played some great tennis. I’m just happy to have won. It was super close. The third set could’ve gone either way. I tried to handle my nerves. The support from you guys and everyone in the box means a lot.”

“I try to take one match at a time. Emma won this a few years ago. I feel like it was a great blockbuster first round match. I’m happy to have gone through. We’ll see what happens.”

Raducanu and Fernandez out in the 1st. Didn't pick em then, didn't pick em now.
