Weekend Tennis Roundup


We're down to the last eight men and women in Melbourne. Tell me who your picks are after you finish scrolling through the hottest ATP beef that's fit to post BELOW.

 

Although I constantly talk about my dwindling interest in the game, I've surprised myself by getting pretty invested in this year's event. Obviously I'd have rather seen Daniil Medvedev advance now that the young man who upset him lost to Sonego(!), which kind of killed the Learner "story." But you can't beat a Djokovic-Alcaraz matchup, even if the others promise to be far less interesting. 


As for the women: Every year I say to myself that this could be Madison's time -- she's the best player to never win a major currently on tour IMHO. But I know better than to get my hopes up, so I guess we'll just see how things play out. 

Around the net ...

Nice selection as always with some new faces I didn't know!
I'm rooting for Maddie in the final; the men's -- I'm not that bothered this year. Definitely rooting for the Italians in the men's doubles. Hopefully they can go one better than last year.
