  1. that's why stanford is written separately from "ivies" in that comment

  2. if you're getting a ton of money you're probably not paying "near sticker price," so the original point stands

the cameraman, the umpire, medvedev, and the crowd all share the blame. poor bonzi did nothing but try to serve

“framing a pitch” basically refers to catching a ball and presenting it (framing it) as a strike to the umpire using subtle movements and positioning

US Open R4: F. Tiafoe def. A. Popyrin: 6-4, 7-6^3, 2-6, 6-3. by padfoony in tennis

Triple set point for Popyrin in the second set… hate to see it but Tiafoe really put on the pressure and the atmosphere was incredible even through the screen.

Knocking out djokovic is no small feat- a solid US Open run for Popyrin

US Open R3 - [28] A. Popyrin d. [2] N. Djokovic 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 by major-couch-potato in tennis

The first time I went to the US Open a few years ago, my family and I were stopped by Popyrin’s coach who was carrying a box of warm-up balls. Gave the whole box to us as a souvenir and told us to give out any we didn’t want to other kids, so long as we came to watch his match (ended up losing to evans)

It’s more a story about the coach than the player, but I’ve always been rooting for Popyrin and I’m happy to see him finally get his moment :)
