Ruby’s standout weapon is his tolerance for self-flagellation.
#25 Aussie Popyrin is out. Loses to Moutet who gets the upset in a well played match!
Crowd tried hard but the Frenchman was so good and consistent and wins in 4 sets.
Looked to have an injury in the 2nd set, he fought hard and the crowd tried their hardest (I wasn't a fan with what they were doing) but he still lost.A bit of disappointment. He was gaining some momentum in his career with Cincy win, and this was his chance to propel himself higher up the ranking at home soil.

Full credit to Moutet.
That section of the draw is kinda open after Med got forced to 5 sets, so did Tiafoe, Rublev looks like he's going to lose. Wide open maybe?
Popyrin served just one ace while the French magician had six.Shocked to see Popyrin out ...
Basically a reprise of 2021 USO Alcaraz (but with a better serve). Incredible player.Fonseca is playing attacking tennis better than most. In a way, he's Federesque.
Oh yesssWow. Fonseca outplays Rublev as an 18 yo at a slam. I'm as impressed as I was when I first saw Alcaraz. I believe we might have third member of the new Big 3.
Djokovic has been the biggest influence on this gen after allWill there ever be a young player again who doesn't do that finger-to-the-ear thing after every other point they win?
How did Rublev behave? Tuned in at end, saw him smash his racket.

Looks like he's a Roger kid. The outfit dropped a huge hint.
Didn't realise that was his first ever slam match. Fonseca looks like a superstar.

From Essentially Sports:
Speaking about his admiration for Roger Federer during a previous interview, Fonseca said, “As a child I always watched a lot of Roger Federer matches. He was the player I enjoyed watching the most because he always made tennis look easy. He is an idol for me.” Earlier this year in an interview with UOL, he even revealed, “When I was younger, I wore every Federer shirt possible. I was a big fan of him. My family has always been. My mother is a fanatic about him.”
