Netflix Open, Live Tennis Sunday

[jimlosaltos]

Surprise! The exo went to 3 sets with a tiebreak. Couldn't see that coming.
Took Carlos about 6 match points. Rafa looked genuinely tense. Perhaps taking acting lessons for his next career?
Haven't heard specifics but I'll guess each player got a cool $1 Million for a hit around they'd have done for free.

Both players were moving well, given their respective injuries. Live crowd at Mandalay Bay and simulcast to all of Netflixdom.

Here's the promo poster, in case anyone is interested.
Actually nice to see someone in live video show an interest in pro tennis IMHO

Star of the event, though, was little Baby Rafa. Ahhhh. Mother, Maria Francisca Perell?—who also goes by Xisca— is on your left. Photo by Ella Ling.
