Key events
I’m watching Draper v Hurkacz, Sonego v Sinner and Boulter v Wang. When my daughter returns my laptop, I’ll also dig into Zverev v Almaier
Our players are on their various courts.
I also enjoyed this, from an interview he gave to the ATP website:
What’s your favourite fruit?
I really like strawberries, I think they taste great.
I’m properly buzzing to see how Draper goes against Hurkacz. Hubie, as he likes to be known – according to Wikipedia – “has a great love of gerbils, and owns several hundred specimens on his ranch near Krakow. He also has several dachschunds, but he keeps them well away from the gerbils whenever possible.” Citation needed.
Preamble
Yo dudes, and welcome to the US Open 2023 – day four!
We begin with a British triple-header, each match extremely tasty. Kicking us off, Katie Boulter – in the form of her life – meets Wang Yafan and, at the same time, the returning and extremely promising Jack Draper faces Hubert Hurkacz, the number 17 seed. Then, when Ashe gets under way an hour later, the resurgent Andrew Murray faces the resurgent Griggzy Dimitrov; not bad eh, and that’s just us getting started.
For today’s day sesh also features Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans, Maddison Keys, Ons Jabeur, Mario Berrettini, Tomás Martín Etcheverry v Stan Wawrinka, Lorenzo Sonego v Jannik Sinner, Jodie Burrage v Aryna Sabalenka, Elina Svitolina v Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Gael Monfils v Andrey Rublev and plenty more besides. Frankly, it’s ridiculous.
So stick with us, because this is going to be a lot of fun. Let’s go, dudes!
