2026 Men's U.S Open Semis Bets! (w/ @Ace_Previews)

Quickly, let's talk to wins.

Frances Tiafoe money line, it looked at it.

Yeah.

And what did I say, Steve, was my biggest fear? Was a Frances Tiafoe dud.

And boy, did he deliver that for the first two sets.

And thankfully-

Two and a half.

Two and a half, yeah.

Thankfully, another wise thing I said is I don't trust Alex Mickelson's service game.

Now a little bit of that might be nervy on top of its, uh, lack of proficiency, but a thrilling five set win for Tiafoe.

A lot of people are getting in, uh, in play.

You know, that to me has been my biggest takeaway from the US Open, is the in-play angle.

As we grind these openers and, um, pre-first ball numbers, uh, people are just getting insane prices on some of these run outs, Steve.

Yeah.

It's, um...

I mean, just on, on that match in particular, I think when you talk about what did we win, what did we learn, I think, uh, Alex Mickelson might have learned a fair bit.

It's one of those, I think it might be one of those losses that, um, might hold him in good stead over the next couple of years in terms of kind of being able to turn that around.

It was a, things were looking really comfortable until they weren't, and as soon as you give, um, Tiafoe a sniff, even with a, a split American crowd, um, the one place probably in the world that you don't wanna give him a sniff is, is New York.

So, great comeback, and then yeah, comeback from a, a breakdown in the, the fifth set as well.

So, happy, uh, happy he got through for the, uh...

Well, obviously, yeah, you see [laughs] a lot of people probably got him live in this match for more than we had him for the, uh, the quarter winner.

But still some li- life in the outright too, albeit as a, as a bit of an underdog, but a, a strong performance from Frances in the-

Yeah

...

in the back ends.
