We're fresh off our second visit to the US Open (and James' first!) and sharing our observations of the grounds, the big stadiums, the Honey Deuces, and the record crowds. James tells the story of night one on Ashe, something he's wanted to experience for a long time. Coco Gauff wrested control of the match but Laura Siegemund and her antics spurred *discourse* that crossed into the mainstream. We discuss the matches we saw, the big breakthroughs, and where we are in the draw. We're also covering the mysterious "respiratory [and apparently gastro] illness" ripping its way through the site, the competing bids for the WTA Finals, some big American retirements we're not torn up about, and finally, celebrating Black excellence at the US Open.
5:10 Night 1: Siegemund's scams and her failure to own them
13:40 Michelle Obama?!
17:30 The overcrowding is no joke but finding respite with Dasha on Court 6 made my Tuesday
28:30 There’s marijuana in the park?! Plus observations of the stadiums
31:55 Everybody is sick - what have we *not* learned a few years into a pandemic?
38:10 Round of 16 lineup: 4 Americans each in the men's and women's draws, very few major upsets
53:00 Court 5 and Holgerian hubris
55:55 Another delay with Simona Halep’s doping case
61:20 Isner and Sock retire and do we care?
66:55 The bad publicity surrounding a potential WTA Finals move to Saudi Arabia
73:15 A few thoughts before signing off
