The Deuce: Correct. I talked to him and his coach off the record afterwards, as we know each other well.

Australian Open thread - Sounder January 23, 2026, 21:47:52

The last set that Djokovic won was in the third round - Sounder Yesterday, 10:34:53
- Sinner is gonna roll him. I'll guess 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. I love Djoker, but he's toast. - Kajagoogoo Yesterday, 10:42:48
  - Someone really needs to step up and challenge them - Sounder Yesterday, 10:44:37
    - The men's game is exceedingly boring these days. At least with the Big 3, you had some challengers. - Kajagoogoo Yesterday, 10:49:19
      - It’s fine into the quarters but after that it loses all luster - bjl63 Yesterday, 11:06:43
Learner folded in the 3rd. It went from 2-1 to 5-1 real fast* - JacobRDaugherty January 26, 2026, 22:55:36
6/16 Americans in quarterfinals - Sounder January 26, 2026, 7:19:43
- Learner Tien and Iva Jovic are the only party crashers. Both young gun Americans. - OrangeSox January 26, 2026, 7:24:09
  - Would have been great had Fritz made the quarters and Brendan - JacobRDaugherty January 26, 2026, 7:30:29
    - Shelton has a big enough game, just gives me Roddick vibes at times - OrangeSox January 26, 2026, 7:44:32
      - IMO, Shelton feels like one of the few players - Sounder January 26, 2026, 7:48:12
        
        Agree, but he's 1-11 vs. them so far* - OrangeSox January 26, 2026, 7:51:29
        
        In his defense, they are very good* - Sounder January 26, 2026, 7:53:03
        
        The problem with Shelton in my eyes is that he just doesn't seem to have an effective Plan B game. - illinilosch January 26, 2026, 8:18:01
        
        He is a Trump supporter. I don't think he is going to evolve to a changing game* - JacobRDaugherty January 26, 2026, 10:12:34
        
        He's not....but he hasn't done anything to dispel that notion. Which is on him.* - PDO January 26, 2026, 22:40:06
        
        This is JMO based on nothing, but I think he sort of likes being controversial and provocative - Sounder January 26, 2026, 22:43:48
        
        In this particular case, with right wing stuff, he's got some family from deeeeep in central indiana - PDO January 26, 2026, 22:51:06
        
        He hasn't done himself any favors - Sounder Yesterday, 10:35:57
        
        I am also a fan of his - Sounder January 26, 2026, 8:19:32
        
        I hope someone steps up - bjl63 January 26, 2026, 8:33:15
        
        Ben can definitely be that challenger of those 2 guys with his firepower. - illinilosch January 26, 2026, 8:26:12
PDO, On what platform are you announcing?* - IlliniRunner January 24, 2026, 0:30:19
- ESPN's paid site, whatever it is nowadays. I know its been a bit of a cluster. - PDO January 24, 2026, 5:56:46
  - I heard 40 in the next room cussing out loud. Turned out this was what it was about. * - doubledown January 26, 2026, 10:42:12
  - If you could pass along a superfan’s extreme frustration and disappointment - Sounder January 24, 2026, 9:16:07
    - Unfortunately, I work for the production company, run by Tennis Australia. - PDO January 24, 2026, 17:23:14
Andreeva Svitolina tomorrow should be epic* - JeffFrank January 23, 2026, 22:47:09
Shoutout to Spizz for showing out* - PDO January 23, 2026, 22:23:05
Until he gets saved by the ref* - Mrap24 January 23, 2026, 21:59:47
- Yeah I'm not sure what to think of that roof closing rule. - illinilosch January 23, 2026, 22:29:03
  - I mean, they have the same rule in place in NYC, and the ATP is incorporating rules too. - PDO January 23, 2026, 22:37:45
    - The rule was implemented properly, and TFB it was hot AF - Sounder January 23, 2026, 23:24:20
      - Spizzirri would have won with the roof open. - illinilosch January 24, 2026, 8:09:47
        
        Correct. I talked to him and his coach off the record afterwards, as we know each other well. - PDO January 24, 2026, 18:20:13
      - Agreed. And I can tell you from walking from the media center to a court, maybe 100 yarrds - PDO January 23, 2026, 23:43:43
        
        105 is absolutely brutal* - Sounder January 23, 2026, 23:50:26
        
        And Tuesday it’s supposed be a high of 107-110* - bjl63 January 23, 2026, 23:55:12
        
        That doesn't seem great* - Sounder January 24, 2026, 0:23:14
    - Yep fair point* - illinilosch January 23, 2026, 22:55:06
