Happy Thursday! Did I jinx Taylor Fritz? Our last American lost in 5 sets to Lorenzo Musetti (🤌).

Also, did anyone else watch the Uruguay v Columbia match? Columbia scored in the 39th minute but then got a red card right before halftime so they had to play with 10 men for the entire second half. Dramatic last 7 minutes of extra time and then it seemed like Luis Suarez tried to start a fight after the final whistle. It had everything.

They play Messi and Argentina on Sunday.
