Not wrong. Just playing devil's advocate that the mental and physical load is likely the same, just inverted.

Not sure what the solution would be aside from eliminating tournaments (good luck telling owners to kick rocks) or reducing the number of mandatories (also good luck).

Not that I agree with the schedules (they do need a severe overhaul) but is it any more grueling than b2b Madrid/Rome with a week off before Roland Garros or Canada/Cincinnati with a week off before the US Open?

Or do the players put up with that schedule because the Grand Slam is after the 1000s?

👀👀👀 Was that a little shade from Carlos to JCF?

Ending it with "it's been a great ride" is very telling.

Kind of get the sense that Novak has resigned to defeat, he knows it's over here. Just terrible body language.

#AusOpen

We'll see how Carlos adjusts on the fly without JCF in his box.

Not a great start for Carlitos. We'll see how he adjusts his game plan without Juan Carlos Ferrero in his box.

Here's to 5+ hours of listening to the Mcenroe Bros babble while we watch history being made!

Credit to Novak but Jannik was 2/18 on break opportunities, not good enough in the semis of a Slam against any opponent.

If you factor in the humidity, it's hotter for much of the Cincinnati Open every year than it is in Melbourne right now. Fans and players here suffer with no breaks. Suck. It. Up.

This is absurd. Sinner's fitness should not be a penalty to Spizzirri.

Yo, Eliot.

All eyes on John Cain Arena for the first three scheduled matches!

I've been locked in on Garin v Darderi since first serve, really good match thus far. Now using multiple screens to keep tabs on various courts!

I really wanted to watch Putinseva v Haddad Maia and ESPN+ keeps giving an error message. Absolutely ridiculous.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Agreed. This would be a great filler for those very weak Center Court OOPs the first few days of the tournament.

Ohio State tennis fan here 🙋🏻‍♂️they make it so inaccessible, incredibly frustrating.

So frustrating. For all the things ESPN does wrong on their tennis presentations, they at least give us a pregame show.

Yep, been this way for so long. You'd think they'd want fans to have this information so spur discussions. Another example of the tennis powers that be getting in their own way.

But I also understand that winners, unforced errors, and forced errors are a somewhat subjective stat line. We see this disparity at the Slams. So I kinda get why the ATP app only shows what seems to be recorded on the chair's tablet.

The lack of stats across the tour always frustrates me. I get it's hard to have stats keepers at each court for every tournament but it shouldn't be this hard.

The ATP has become very monotonous in playing style. It's why I love watching WTA matches at CincyTennis over ATP. Not just slugging it out from the baseline.

The racket that Fritzetti is holding is very small too. All around comical.

I saw elsewhere they did an AI mashup of Musetti and Fritz because they weren't sure Fritz was going to play. What an absolute cluster.

Is that supposed to be Fritz in front of Tsitsipas and Zverev? 🤔
