These ladies are killing it..

Great win Gauff!

Had to be so hard for both ladies after those douchebag protesters put the match on delay for over 40 minutes. Not sure how either gets back in the zone after that.

It will be Coco vs Sabalenka. Setting up fairly a great final.

What in the Keyes Kollapse happened after I went to sleep?

Yeah I had to knock off after the second set tiebreak and was surprised to see the final result.

**Sluff** · 09-08-2023, 01:17 PM

I watched the first set and was ready to eat my words. Going to watch the dvr to see how the last ladies March played out.

Let’s go Shelton! Stay hot kid.

**SumJongGuy** · 09-08-2023, 01:38 PM

I wasn't expecting Tiafoe to beat Novac. Shelton's got a bright future as well, but he's not Joker level yet either.. Would love to see Novac melt down and choke.. It's happened before.. But, short of that he rolls this kid,,

**Sluff** · 09-08-2023, 04:23 PM

Expected outcome. Would have been nice to see that get to a 4th set.

Hope Alcaraz gets the win tonight and we get the matchup everyone wanted to see.

Wow, Med nailed it when he said he needed to play 11/10 to beat Carlos. He also was right when he said tonight he played 12/10. One of the most entertaining 4 setters I've had the pleasure to watch.

The joke dissected the kid. Hopefully Med's got enough left in the tank to give him a run. I'm giving Med a 50/50 chance to stop him. All he has to do is play 11/10... that's all.
Seriously though, what I saw from Danil tonight would be enough to beat Novack. High first serve percentage, ridiculous passing shots and running down every ball (with numerous circus gets). That's all you need to beat the Serb. That way back service return position sure works for him. Seeing lots more guys doing it these days.

**Sluff** · 09-09-2023, 06:10 AM

Villain vs villain in the men’s final. I’m on Meds side.

If Coco can handle Sabs power, she gets it done later today.

**SumJongGuy** · 09-09-2023, 07:49 AM

Could be al all black rectangle flag championship. Co Co would be awesome.. Flip a coin on the men's side.. But it is entertaining when Novak loses his shit and throws a hissy fit..

**SumJongGuy** · 09-09-2023, 04:41 PM

So happy for Co Co. First of many! This kid's fun to watch :-)

**Sluff** · 09-09-2023, 06:00 PM

It looked ugly for her after the first set. She kept returning everything and Sab wasn’t used to those long rally’s. She started over hitting and missing. Coco figured out her power in the 2nd and 3rd. Very fun to watch.

Heck of a speech at the trophy ceremony too.

**garyfromterrace** · 09-10-2023, 12:12 AM

Nice win for Coco! She played great.
Damn, Martina Navratilova is looking good these days.

What's with the ball men and ladies? Were they former lines people out of a job because of technology?

Feel sorry for little 12 year old Timmy. "No job for you Tim, Andre has 20 years of calling lines and he's a bit faster and more sure handed.... come back when you're 23.."

**garyfromterrace** · 09-11-2023, 12:18 AM

Fucking Joker was a beast.

**SumJongGuy** · 09-11-2023, 05:34 AM

Only Joker can beat Joker.. If he doesn't lose his composure he's pretty unbeatable..

first time seeing Sab - was she always a miserable fukking bitch?? couldn't be happier that she lost.

**BmillsSkier** · 09-11-2023, 07:18 AM

Lots to be happy about the state of tennis after that Open, especially from the US perspective.

Don't know if it's been posted yet but a good article on Roddick: https://www.gq.com/story/andy-roddick-us-open

Some very good tennis happening now at the Billy Jean King tourney. Loving the play of an unknown Canuck ( Stakusic) who's never even played a tour match in her career thus far. Ranked like 500th a few months ago. Now 200ish. But what a run for her. Go Canada.

Ouch, just got broken.. oh well back on serve.
Edit. Up a set. Yes.
Edit rank of 250 beats rank of 30. Nice upset. Looking promising for a Canadian team win! And thank you cbc for the livestream.
