Matteo Barrettini could be in the mix too. And he's a cutie to boot.

I'm pulling for Rafa.

Agree, of course

 

Al so Shapo!!

Horrible day for the Bel Ami boys at the Open today; Coric, Coria, Dimitrov, and Hurkacz all lost. 😭

😀 Coric`s IG posts are thirst traps.  If he`s selecting which pics make it to his feed, he knows which ones will get him more lusted after.

I miss Federer!  Hope he comes back soon!

Apologies to the mods if this would be more appropriate for the Spanking/Fetishes forum. Poor Richard...

I miss Fed too! He's my fave! 😍

The first two sets were certainly a spanking, but the above is not the final score: Gasquet improved in each set, and managed to win five games in the third set. Nadal's career record against Gasquet is now 18-0. They are almost exactly the same age (36), and have been been playing one another for a long time. Perhaps Gasquet enjoys being spanked.

I like to watch Richard play when I  go to the USO. Nice guy

Berretini vs. Ruud: what a Sophie's choice!

Coric has a former escort as his "phsical trainer".  Not sure if there is more to their relationship or not but both he and the trainer are scorching hot.

I've long thought Richard was adorable. That he seems so willing to bend over for all the tour alphas makes him even more so. 

Ruud v Barrettini is an easy choice for me: I'll take the Italian sausage.

Kyrgios will be a big hurdle for Medvedev to overcome. Nick seems to have had his number in their priors. They're in a first set tiebreak right now.

Smart  response!

Good to see Nick win last night. Liked his sexy doubles partner sitting in his box.

Kyrgios v Khachanov is going the distance...

Nick has some free time now.

Perhaps he  could learn some faashion  lessons from  hiKhachanov.

The times they are a-changing. Only one of the eight semi-finalists has ever won a major, and only one of the men has even been in a major final. It is nice to see some new faces there. My predictions, for what they are worth, are Swiatek and Garcia in the women's final, and Alcaraz and Ruud in the men's final. But I'm not willing to bet any money on them.

 going with Rudd against Frances Tiafoe, the young man from Washington.

I truly hope Frances Tiafoe takes the U.S. Open this year.  Within 20 minutes from now, the semi final for men begins.

Carlos beat Frances

 

Not sure anyone can beat Carlos right now. Frances gave his all !

[+ Lucky]

Carlos looks good in Times Square, but he seems pretty anonymous.

[Andy768]

Congrats to Carlitos! Would love for Alcaraz to take the reins and usher in a new era of men's tennis! And he's really still barely more than a kid. Will be interesting to see how he develops - both in his tennis and just physically.

My heart was with Jabeur and Ruud, but my gut told me it would be Swiatek and Alcaraz. Pretty unusual that each of the finals determined who would be ranked #1 and #2 in the world starting this week.

[Becket]

Ruud is generally cute all over.  His looks improved each match.  Alcaraz (sic) had marvelous looking legs

Brad Gilbert once said about both Frances Tiafoe and Tommy Paul that they were both great talents who simply weren't willing to work hard enough.  Sure, they trained in the gym and hit the practice courts, but they didn't put in the hard yards like the top players did.  Tiafoe hired a coach who is a stern taskmaster and started working harder than he ever had before.  And whaddya know ... as disappointing as his loss to Alcaraz was, Tiafoe must be happy to know that he can compete with the game's best.  Crossing my fingers that Tommy Paul is inspired by Tiafoe's success and puts nose to the grindstone as well.

In a second consecutive Slam final, Ons Jabeur wasn't able to play her best.  I felt awful for her when the camera caught her post-match sitting on the floor crying.  But who knows maybe even had Jabeur played her best, Swiatek was just too good.

Carlos might be tempted to spend more time abroad to avoid being besieged every time he goes out in public in Spain.  Ruud actually played really well, but Carlos simply has too much firepower.  It's scary that he's only 19 and will only improve from here.  His coach Juan Carlos Ferrero says that Alcaraz has tapped only about 60% of his potential.
