This 7th game in the 3rd set has been epic.

Tiafoe upsets Nadal.
Would be sweet to have an American male back in the US Open final ( last guy was freaking Agassi ).

Roddick won the US Open in 2003 and that was it.
Agassi made a run in 2005 and lost to Federer.

Federer retires.
If it weren't for Nadal and Djokovic, he'd likely have 30+ slams.

Maybe (probably?) the 3 best ever. All in/around the same time. Insane.

This is more of a general UI gripe for ESPN but even if you aren't going to put the more popular sport ( Men's vs Women's ) in it's own section ( in this case, Tennis - CBB i'm also looking at you ) and just mix the scores up, can you at least have a differentiation between the component iteration?

A headline? A font or background color? An outline/border?
Something.
Please.

Put the Women at the top for power and equality sake - fine - but give the scores some contrast/categorization.

The Gauff vs Sabalenka US Open final today reminds me how annoying it is to have someone, Sabalenka, moan loudly as she makes every shot.

There ought to be a rule...

Coco Gauff is kicking ass and taking names after losing the first set.

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
