This isn't much better than the women's photo. The fabric over the bar stools is as bad as a high school prom backdrop. The fit on the suits is horrible. If this is the best humans can put out now, in one of the wealthiest sports, I guess AI should take it over.

I've got a feeling this tournament is going to go according to rank. Top 4 seeds all won.
The women should be pumping up the diversity of players they have winning the biggest tournaments to expand their fan base.

It's also cropped strangely and tightly and I bet converted to B&W to hide all the flaws like the fabric on the barstools

Alcaraz struggling a bit against Fritz... Wonder why? Does he take too long to set up for his shots, therefore has problems with fast courts? Sinner has practically no backswing even on his forehand...

It is not as if Fritz is useless on a hard court. He played an excellent match.
Carlitos uses a lot of drops; we know that. But he uses it a lot mixed with wrong footing his opponent. On a hard court, the opponent gets instant grip and can change directions faster. The drops were not as effective as usual.
Hey, he cannot win everything in a walk in the park; he is not Roger-2005.

I said it before. Because he is Alex Deminaur, we don't give this guy any credit. But this guy competes like the very best. Never out of focus. Never giving up on a single point. Never letting himself get down.
He is right up there with the GOAT's. In that area.

I'm afraid Musetti used his out of jail card on ADM and will have nothing left for 3rd match vs Alcaraz.

I'll be very surprised if it's not Alacaraz and Fritz in that order.

If my math is right, ADM still alive with a straight sets win and a Musetti loss ... and we'd get our game % tiebreaker :)

Could also have to go to games for if Musetti beats Alcaraz in straight sets and Fritz wins.

Ben had 5 aces on a court that Fritz said is fast, in 18 service games. And there were some long games on his serve.
He has a supersonic serve, but there is something about it that seems not to hurt the opponent much. Odd.
