It's really interesting how a fortnight can completely change the tour and your perception of players on the tour. For good or bad, by the way, no judgements made here.

Carlos Alcaraz was a known prodigious prospect, but most probably said to themselves, oh he's two years away, if he even amounts to anything at all.
Lloyd Harris looked like a solid player, maybe future top 30, but probably nothing too special, but now people are recalibrating and recalculating his future in their minds.
And don't get me started on Raducanu. From 300s pre-Wimbledon to borderline British #1 and well inside the top 100 on the back of four tournaments.
There are other great stories I don't want to give short shrift to, such as Leylah Fernandez spectacular results and a potentially finally noticeably improving FAA after stagnating for a couple years. It's very interesting how this US Open will change narratives going forward.
What are your major takeaways so far?
