Nadal probably inside track to pass Fed now in Majors. If joker would have won he may have had the leg up.

This kid is the future of tennis in the USA. Holy hell Gauff does not quit. When I was 15 I would've shit myself just playing my idol at anything to start off. She might not win but she keeps coming back in it.

Hope Coco beats Halep this morning. 15 year old going that deep at Wimbledon would be awesome. Also she is American and the Wimbledon crowd clearly is REALLY REALLY behind her to the point that it would probably be upsetting to match up against with her especially since she is now a sensation.
Do it again!

Halep spanked Gauff but still a good run for a 15 year old.

Well when I was 15 I have no idea how I wasted my summer. It's awesome that CoCo is the future! No disappointment that she did not win it all this turn.

Knew a girl in college who played doubles with her. Seems that Alison was maybe a bit better.

Bautista Agut will be the baby of the men's semis at age 31. Guaranteed that no player born in the 90s will win a men's grand slam at least until the US Open.

Thiem is ranked #4, born in in 1993. Zverev and Tsitsipas 5 and 6, were born in 1997 and 1998. So plenty of time (although those are teh only ones ranked in the top ten) , unless Feliz Auger Aliassime, born in 2000 and ranked #21, takes over first.

I like poking around this page

It's supposed to be Zverev but he apparently kinda stinks.

Andy Murray and Serena playing mixed doubles together. Got tons of crowd support in their first match (centre court, of course).
