    What happened to rock music?

    Yep, my first job out of school was late 80's in Syracuse NY and I always heard about this incredible kid playing at venues around upstate! I thought back then that in a few years he'll just be burned out. Nope, wrong LOL!

    Love running into his specials on PBS. It's mesmerizing the powerful sound he can produce with the guitar.

    Some words about play at end of Alliasame and Fokina match. I guess Felix Auger didn't appreciate Fokina takina a medical break when Felix was serving and Fokina appeared to aggravate an ankle injury. It led to Felix's first service game of the tournament that he did not hold. He had over 70...

    Eala gave a real inspirational heartfelt on-court interview at the end of her match with Iga. First Filipino to make it to the 2nd week of a grand-slam. I'll be pulling for her, till she hits an American player.

    Yeah that was frustrating. Looked like Brandon was leading in tiebreak and just need 3 more points to win it. Struff earned it though. Played all the way through.

    Princess Kate has made it out to court 18 to watch Brit Arthur Fery play Virtanen. Court 18 is not one of the bigger courts at Wimbledon (about 750), but is famous for having the longest tennis match ever: 2010 Isner v Mahut. Over 11 hours over 3 days! Final set 81 to 79 with John winning.

    What happened to rock music?

    Rick Beato describes nicely how Auto-Tune, starting late 90s, spoiled rock by taking the little imperfections in rock sets and covering them over. Many more singers with poor pitch are able to produce hits. Makes you appreciate singers with near perfect pitch such as Freddie Mercury, Chris...

    Nope! Don't know what I was thinking there. I stopped watching when Fritz won and thought Shelton did too.

    Americans Fritz and Shelton played well in their first round matches and are moving on. Shelton mixing up his shots nicely with drops and slices. Some working some not. Taylor Townsend loses to Swiatek. Taylor looks to keep a string of doubles titles going as the #1 team with partner...

    Wow, this sucks. Maja Chwalinska, French Open runner-up, had match point and got injured chasing down a ball. Ankle injury. She lost the 2nd set and could not compete in 3rd. Feel for her. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7405452/2026/06/29/maja-chwalinska-wimbledon-injury-result/

    It starts today. My favorite time of year. Big question is can anyone challenge Sinner on the men's side. Looking to Ben Shelton to make a run for it. Would love to see either Fritz or Francis make it to the semis. On the women's side Rybakina is fun to watch just for the non-chalence LOL...
