Round 1 of the US Open had it all: celebrity gossip, bad haircuts, and Daniil Medvedev screaming at photographers. 

We start with the essential Taylor Swift–Travis Kelce update (because, priorities), then break down Carlos Alcaraz’s brother-approved buzzcut. 

Medvedev’s meltdown gets the full debate treatment, with zero agreement on who was right. Venus Williams throws it back with flashes of vintage Venus, Madison Keys crashes out way too soon, and the American women keep things spicy. 

Then, we wrap the episode with the best Round 2 popcorn matches and a very questionable look at the US Open’s celebrity guest list.
