<p>I take a look at the 2026 US open so far. On the men’s side, a tale of shock exits; Djokovic, Jodar and Fils in round one. Nakashima, Auger Aliassime and Musetti in round two! On the women’s side, Krejcikova and Bencic fall but Pegula, Gauff, Sabalenka and all the big names are rolling. Listen to that, and tons more in this action packed episode. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgd4hPK6ZcA">00:00</a> intro<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgd4hPK6ZcA&t=83s">01:43</a> men’s tournament so far <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgd4hPK6ZcA&t=407s">07:07</a> women’s tournament so far <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgd4hPK6ZcA&t=490s">08:30</a> who looks hot? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgd4hPK6ZcA&t=1160s">19:40</a> Alcaraz is gonna sit some out! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgd4hPK6ZcA&t=1362s">23:02</a> Influencers <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgd4hPK6ZcA&t=1480s">25:00</a> Kalshi and the US Open <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgd4hPK6ZcA&t=1721s">29:01</a> Kyrgios is back <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgd4hPK6ZcA&t=1882s">31:42</a> Best bets remaining Please follow if you like the content.
