Round 3 of the US Open had everything: injuries, drama, and plenty of star power in the stands. We dig into Ben Shelton’s tough setback, Sinner’s tricky test against Shapo, Alcaraz’s dominant run, and Taylor Fritz quietly holding strong. And yes, we even get into the celeb scene, from Russell Wilson and LL Cool J courtside to who didn’t quite make the “celebrity cut.”

On the women’s side, Coco Gauff bounced back after a shaky start, while Taylor Townsend kept the drama rolling. Now all eyes are on the blockbuster clash between Gauff and Naomi Osaka, a matchup that could help define the tournament.

We wrap with some chatter on tennis’s unwritten rules (do you really have to apologize for a let cord?), a few fan habits that drive us crazy, and an update on our bracket standings… let’s just say not everyone’s thrilled.
