Why show live tennis when we can listen to James Blake blather on or watch Zverev on the practice courts?

My tennis life, in one sentence (exchange James Blake for Jose Luis Clerc and Zverev for Schwartzman).

Had 40-15 on her serve and made 3 mistakes. MP Zheng. Ons played aggressiely and saved it, then bent over like she was going to throw up. Then hit a great drop shot.

Yep. She's got the AD right now and holds. Qinwen will try and serve it out.

Zheng serves it out and advances, despite wearing orange shoes with her pink dress.

Jabeur's legs just didn't have any energy today, and she was coughing a lot between points.

Zverev had a fan removed for using "the most famous Hitler phrase." I didn't hear it, don't know it, and probably wouldn't want to type it anyway.
Edit: Now I think I know it, but don't want to type it.

In a match that is becoming a classic, due to the physicality. What an idiot.
I can't see either guy recovering in time to meet Alcaraz. This has been brutal.

First serve speed will be down, and Alcaraz will be pulling out all the drop shot - lob combos that he can.
