The official ATP/WTA thread 🎾

On another note my boy Ben Shelton picked up his first Masters 1000

I’d post another pic w him but yall get the point

The racists and coons mad as shit right now lol
 
How do yall feel about the celebrity filled mixed doubles currently happening at the US Open

I like that they have more big names, but I don't know how I feel about some of the rule changes.

Also, displacing some of the top-ranked players in mixed doubles is a problem, especially since that's where (I imagine) they make most of their money.

What do you think?

It’s corny and I don’t like it

Two years ago the talk of the Us Open was the Shelton/Townsend pairing every one of their match was sold out

I guess the USTA wanted to build up on that clout at this open

A lot of top players stated they couldn’t do it during the actual tournament so they moved it to a week before which is stupid even tho I think this week is free at the US Open

Four games sets are stupid the fact that the number 1 doubles player doesn’t get to play mixed is stupid

The payday is 1 million dollars for the winning team so it’s a lot of money some top doubles and mixed players are being frozen out of cuz they don’t have the clout
 
Proud of my compatriot Ignacio "Nacho" Buse giving Shelton a game thus far

5-4 Shelton serving for the match on Arthur ashe
