The little boy who did the coin toss and photo with John Isner and Taylor Fritz barely came up to John Isner's waist.

Shelton took a very tight first set from Rune 7-6(7) in Acapulco. He was down a break at one point but it didn't seem to faze him.

Shapovalov got off to a very quick start over Kecmanovic - 3-0 and 4-1 - he was hitting everything... then he blew the set, as he often does, losing it in a tiebreak.
Then he won the 2nd set at love.
The 3rd set was pretty even until Denis got a very late break to win it 7-5.

Taylor Fritz battles in a 3 setter with John Isner and pulls it out. He was also battling a knee injury which in the post match on court interview he said he has been dealing with it since he was 18 years old.

There were so many props being given to Machac by Tennis Twitterers I thought he won the match.

Got to the beach, sat under a coconut tree, got the first Margarita. Looked at each other:
"Not playing tonight. You?"

Yeah - and, as a result, the tournament sold 8000 more tickets.
It is very, very likely that both Alcaraz and Norrie had decided WEEKS ago that if they reach the Semis or the Final of Rio, they would not be going to Acapulco.
Chances are that the Acapulco tournament organizers also knew this.
But, for the sake of deliberate deception and more money, everyone kept quiet about it.
