first american male in a tennis major semi-finals since roddick in 2006! tiafoe takes on rising spanish star alcaraz on espn at 7 though previous semi just finished so imagine it wont get started right away as they have to empty the stadium, etc. the norwegian ruud beat some guy named karen to log his first finals appearance. i think. i saw him i think lose to nadal at the french earlier in the year.

Harwood is a good journalist and as far as I can tell, pretty centrist in his politics. But stating the truth about what’s happening is apparently a bridge too far (and too far left, as it were) for CNN if it alienates some MAGA who will never watch anyway. https://t.co/FiN1V4ZsCb

first couple of eps of amazons big swing on a lord of the rings series dropped last night. i am not a book reader so i have fewer things to be annoyed by. certainly has the requisite number of woke signifiers to get the haters buzzing on that front as well. i was reasonably entertained. i could not get through more than a few minute of a wheel of time which was there last big fantasy swing but at least i am somewhat familiar with the tolkien universe which works in its favor.

tonight is your third chance to possibly see serena williams last professional match at the us open. i havent watched the first two but she upset the #2 ranked player on wednesday. seems like its best if i dont watch, for her sake. havent watched any matches yet. she played doubles with her sister venus one last time last night and i believe they lost. they lost the first set in a tie breaker and were down 3 love when i checked the score. not watching did not help in that case so perhaps i have no bearing on the outcome after all.
