Looked like the queen flew into/onto the cable cam and the rest of the colony followed along.

Sinner started strong but melted in sets 2/3.

He took a fall returning a short ball in set 3, but way too many unforced errors. Alcaraz playing tactical mixing up return speeds and minimizing unforced errors.

After his R32 win, I heard world #9 Alex de Minaur say that his R16 opponent, world #57 Fabian Marozsan, would enter the match as the favourite.

Marozsan won 6-4 0-6 6-1.

I would love to know what makes a top 10 player say that an opponent whose career high is his current #57 would be a favourite. Doesn’t seem like a winning mindset.

Danielle Collins into the Miami Open final! Plays Rybakina.

Alcaraz out to Dmitrov, Sinner goes #2 if he makes and wins the final.

Dimitrov and Collins were excellent last night.

Collins dropped the first set in her first-round match.
Her next 12 sets: 6-1, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2

I like Rybakina but hope DC wins in her final year on the circuit.

I feel bad for Dimitrov. He's played so well this tournament; dominated Alcaraz, beat Zverev, but he can't seem to find any way through Sinner.

Sinner is #1 in the ATP Race and the Olympics Race, he is the current end boss, a far harder challenge right now than playing Alcaraz. Now #2 in the world, and I’d say a certainty to remain #2 if not grab #1 by the end of the year.

Across RG and Wimbledon, Novak is defending 3300 points, Alcaraz 2800 points while Jannik is only defending 850 points.

French Open has started.

Sinner currently #1 on the live ATP rankings list.

Nagal loses the first set. So did Nadal.

Iga, Novak and Zverev have all had tough matches and could have been be out. But Iga has turned things around today in her 4th round against Potapova.

Games won: 12
Points lost: 10

Iga was done by 11:50am.

PS: we really need to get this thread retitled. Don’t think we need a separate thread for each year. Can someone hit up a responsive Mod and get it changed?

Djokic broke the grand slam major matches won record today, it says 370-369 over Fed. Also said he's a crazy 40-11 in 5 set matches (that one includes all matches not just slams). That's two straight grueling 5-setters. No way he can win it, right?
