Jonathan is back from the US Open with stories to share. What is it like attending the US Open now that it's allegedly overrun by influencers? We talk about the difficulty of paying attention to…
Where do you want to start? I have heard the word influencer more times this week than I ever have in my life.
And do you know who is the nipple influencer? The other word I've heard more than any other time in my life? Who? Carlos Alcaraz.
Those are the two big buzzwords of week one.
How about this? Let's just look at where we are with the draws on both sides.
At this point, all the round of 16s have pretty much been decided with the exception of two men's matches that are currently on court.
The entire women's round of 16 lineup is decided, and all but two on the men's side is decided.
Let's start on the women's side.
Consecutive years now that Townsend will be in the round of 16 at the US Open.
Jesse Pagula against Sarana Kirsteja.
That's the top half of the women's draw.
Oh, you have matchup head-to-heads here.
I do.
Kostiuk and Noskova are even, 1-1.
Pagula leads Sarana 3-1.
And Kalinskaya leads Navarro 2-0.
Anything interesting about the women and how they got there to that point? The one that sticks out to me is that Emma Navarro took out Karolina Mukhova in the third round in straight sets.
That was a big shock.
Yeah, yeah.
Kalinskaya beating Svitolina.
