It does seem like it's loud! He's an electric player, U.S. tennis needs him. Love seeing the home crowd embrace him like this. Hope he can pull this out.

It was sooo much fun and the guy next to me said the line was +950 for Tiago in straight sets.
He’s the next star and hi serve is lethal with Johnny Mac like touch and shotmaking skills at the net. His backhand needs to get better and when it does. He’ll be a regular in the second week of Slams.
You’ll get to see a ton of him in commercials ala Coco in the future.
Was simply brilliant

The quality of play in this Sinner/Alcarez match is absolutely unbelievable.
These two will battle for Slams for many many years.
Go USA!!

This is my first time watching Alcaraz for extended periods and wow, his energy level is almost scary. He looks like a guy who can't sit still.

3 straight 5 set wins for Alcarez and in each match he plays better and better. He’s the future of the sport.
Heck of a tournament for Tiafoe as well. Let’s hope he builds on this.

Tiafoe was lucky to last that long. His 1st serve percentage was way too low. Someone like Djokovic would have destroyed him.

Alcarez seems so calm. Unfazed.

Yes he is! Youngest #1 in the history of the sport. His timing is amazing too as he'll just be coming into his prime as the Big 3 exit. He'll battle Novak for a few years still but Carlos is primed to win many Slams. He's a blast to watch.
I thought both he and Ruud commenting after the match on 9/11 and being in NYC on this milestone was very classy.
Go USA!!
His combination of speed and sheer power is quite something.

per Axios Sports:
Spain on top: Spain's Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal are the top two players in the ATP rankings, the first time ever that two non-Americans from the same country have held the top two spots.

Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff 1st 2 U.S. women in top 4 since '10
Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff are the first pair of U.S. women in the top four spots of the WTA rankings since sisters Serena and Venus Williams were up there a dozen years ago.Pegula rose two places to a career-best No. 3 on Monday, a day after winning the biggest title of her career at the Guadalajara Open in Mexico.
Gauff, who lost in the quarterfinals at that tournament, moved up from No. 7 to No. 4.
The last time two Americans were that high in the women's tennis rankings was the week of Oct. 18, 2010, when Serena Williams was No. 2 and Venus Williams was No. 4. Each of the siblings already had been No. 1 before that.
Pegula, Gauff into top 4; match Williamses feat
Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff are ranked third and fourth in the WTA rankings, giving the U.S. two women in the top four for the first time since Venus and Serena in 2010.

I rarely follow Tennis and had to check on this statement. Gosh, it's true. Is it common to not finish a match against your opponent when you're down? I believe I saw 3 unfinished matches against Nebraska to go along with the forfeits. Doesn't make any sense to me.
Once the outcome of the match (4 points) is decided the remaining matches will end since they won’t affect the final match outcome. I think it is only in tournaments(preseason and ncaa tournament).
