NEW YORK — Normally I bundle my “Matches to Watch” section along with another feature, but I wanted to get my story on the casino-fication of the U.S. Open out as soon as it was ready on Tuesday afternoon so it shipped as a standalone—and thanks to the many kind words I’ve already gotten about that post, both online and around the grounds of the U.S. Open.
The Day 4 Matches to Watch are below the paywall—it’s a particularly stacked day on the men’s side, as the strong side of their lopsided draw is on tap.
Two more things to check out ahead of the paywall:
First, the newest episode of No Challenges Remaining, recorded Tuesday night outside Ashe, on Alcaraz’s return, Djokovic and Fils’ losses, Kalshi, Osaka’s fashions, and more.
And second, another hearty recommendation that you subscribe to the Forty Deuce newsletter, which is a dreamy combo of thorough news curation and Courtney Nguyen’s unmistakable voice.
Again, thanks to everyone who has subscribed to Bounces in these last few days, particularly after the Kalshi story; it’s always heartening when those sorts of things are what moves the needle here. 15 percent off remains in effect through the U.S. Open on all monthly, annual, and gift subscriptions! —Ben
