Because tennis is thinly disguised psychological torture, it is not a surprise when a tennis player looks like they are having a bad time. Even by those standards, Amanda Anisimova, while on court, wears her emotions on her sleeve; she can also look like she is wrangling with a very bad time and come out of the match with a win anyway.

On telly, Mac's talking about Anisimova, whose time is surely coming. She was close to a major last year and if she continues improving perhaps even if she doesn't one will surely be hers soon. Her backhand is one of the best shots in the game, she's working out how to win big matches, and her easy power is an absolute joy.

Alcaraz moved up from No. 2 and swapped places with Sinner by virtue of a 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory over him in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday. Sinner had held No. 1 since making his debut there in June 2024, a 65-week stay. Alcaraz first reached that spot in September 2022 at age 19 -- making him the youngest No. 1 in ATP history -- by claiming his first major championship at that year's US Open. He relinquished that ranking in September 2023.
