There is tennis in Chicago! 😯👍 Not associated with anything official. I'm just a guy who likes tennis.

Extended Team Muguruza poses after Garbiñe Muguruza 🇪🇸 wins the WTA Chicago 500 championship. Muguruza expressed her excitement that family members that don't always get to see her play were in attendance for the final today.

Schedule is now 11am for the resumption, and not before 1pm for the final, but that could be pushed back slightly depending on the outcome of the semi.

Court Theory 🎾@Court_Theory

Appreciate @MikeCTennis filling us in on what's happening with this Shang-Michelsen match. The decision was to not move it indoors tonight and instead to play at 11:00 outdoors tomorrow morning. And the final still at noon (or, presumably after appropriate rest)? 😬

Chicago Challenger semi third set between Shang Juncheng 🇨🇳 and Alex Michelsen 🇺🇸 suspended at 2-2 due to darkness. To be concluded Sunday. Incidentally, the air was very nice earlier this afternoon, but the smell of wildfire smoke is now thick in the air. #ChicagoChallenger

Alex Michelsen 🇺🇸 snags the second set from Shang Juncheng 🇨🇳 7-5 in Chicago. Headed to a third set in this Challenger semi as the hazy sun approaches the tree line.

These Chicago Challenger tennis clocks are nice and all but they make for a deeply unsatisfying big zoom onto the 1:00 match time #ChicagoChallenger

Fun set one in the second semi at the Chicago Challenger, but really strong play from Shang Juncheng 🇨🇳 throughout proves sufficient to grab set one over Alex Michelsen 🇺🇸 6-4. #ChicagoChallenger

Time to go for this one. Michelsen picked up his first Challenger MD win in Tiburon over Shang last fall. Tons on the line this evening. Stream Chicago at: usta.com/en/home/pro/pr…

Jerry Shang vs Alex Michelsen is one of the better young "American based" (since Jerry reps China but trains in Bradenton or at least did) matchups in the game. Gonna enjoy this one. @MikeCTennis on comms is also great, should be a good SF here in #ChicagoChallenger

Big Chicago congrats to #Wimbledon champ Markéta Vondrousova 🇨🇿! She brought plenty of thrills to Chicago a couple years ago including a trip to the semis at the 500. Amazing all-time achievement earlier today!

Markéta Vondroušová 🇨🇿 wins a real up-and-down two and a half hour three-setter over #10 Danielle Collins 🇺🇸 6-7(4) 6-0 6-7(3) to reach the semifinals in Chicago.

Smokin' aces aplenty thus far for Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 🇫🇷 in this Chicago Challenger semi. On serve in the second. Yuta Shimizu 🇯🇵 nabbed set one in a tiebreak.

First set goes to Yuta Shimizu 🇯🇵 in a closely fought tiebreak with Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 🇫🇷 in the first semi at the Chicago Challenger.

A mischievous breeze (putting it somewhat mildly) has popped up in Chicago at the Challenger as the first set heads to a tiebreak between Shimizu and Mpetshi Perricard.

Hard to see these circling seagulls as anything but menacing after the poop delay they mercilessly unleashed earlier in the week 🐦🐦💩 @MikeCTennis

The break failed to materialize for Yuta Shimizu 🇯🇵 midway through this Chicago Challenger semi against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 🇫🇷. Hoping the rain clouds fail to materialize, too.

Ben Shelton in the Australian Open quarterfinals tonight (US time)? Absolutely love seeing his success! What a ride.

Chicago Tennis Racketeer@TennisRacketeer

Very cool to see Ben Shelton going for the title at the Chicago ATP Challenger a few months after seeing him win the NCAA title in Champaign! Third set about to begin with Roman Safiullin.

Appreciated the really thoughtful and kind words Ben Shelton had for the @xstennisvillage, Ald. Pat Dowell and Kamau Murray and what they've done for the community and for tennis in Chicago. To back up what Kamau noted: tours, time for a permanent stop (or two) at this facility!
