Jasmine Paolini (ITA) World Rank #8 takes on Maria Sakkari (GRE) World Rank #65 on Center Court on this day. Paolini was victorious in straight sets with a score of 7-6 7-6. Sakkari with the serve…. Paolini waiting patiently. There’s the return. One more for the road.

I’ll be honest, when I first saw these pictures I had no idea who was playing in this match. I don’t particularly know Sofia Kenin (USA) world rank #29 or Varvara Grachevka (FRA) world rank #103. There aren’t a lot of pictures, so I must not have been there very long. Maybe the heat was…

Daniil Medvedev (Voldemort) ATP Rank #13 taking on Adam Walton (USA) ATP Rank #85 should have been a slam dunk for Medvedev. If you are asking who Adam Walton is, I asked the same question. However, Medvedev appeared to be struggling not only with the excessive heat but also with his game and lost in…

This was a fun match to watch a bit of if I may say so myself. Alex De Minaur (AUS) ATP Rank #8 took on Reilly Opelka (USA) ATP Rank #73 in the Grandstand. There wasn’t a huge turnout for this match, at least while I was there, but it was fun nevertheless. As I…

After leaving the Sinner practice session, I wandered to the Champions Court nearby and popped into this match for a little while. Veronika Kudermetova (Voldemort) WTA Rank #36 pulled off an upset against Belinda Bencic (SUI) WTA Rank #19 in straight sets.

I spent time at my second practice session of the day seeing Maya Joint. I even managed to get an autograph after the session.

Garcia carefully examining a selection of balls prior to the serve.…

While in Cincinatti, we did not see Jannik Sinner play a match but I did go watch his practice session for a while. The stands were packed with people to see the #1 player in the world from Italy practice. Jannik, look out! I know this one isn’t as good as the Jasmine Paolini picture…

On Day 6 of the tournament we had Center Court seats and saw Carlos Alcaraz (ESP), ATP Rank #2, defeat Damir Dzumhur (BIH), ATP Rank #56, in three sets. This set is going to be a little different as I’ve got a couple of sequential shots that I want to use because, well, it’s Alcaraz.…

This match at the Grandstand Court features Francis Tiafoe (USA) ranked #14 in the world takes on Roberto Carbelles Baena (ESP) ranked #87. One of the nice things about the Grandstand, as a venue, is that only part of the seats are sold in advance. The tickets on both levels, around the ends, are sold…
