Kinda exciting so far.....Carlos Alcaraz vs Hurkacz......

noticing a new trend….some tennis players are wearing those nose breathing strips…..kinda distracting. Carlos and the Norwegian player, Ruud, are wearing them.

he has those down to perfection. Sad not a lot of players use it, it’s one of my favorites shots.

And so many momentum shifts. I'm going to have to find the highlights on youtube just to see which amazing shots they chose.

I did want to throttle people in the crowd, though. Did they really need to do a "LET'S GO (insert player here)" after every point? And then the umpire had to say "thank you" after every point to get them to quiet down.
