2021 US Open tennis

[Hefeweizen 5308]

Really impressive play from Brooksby and he has a super weak serve.  Remarkable

[troph 24781]

Champ showing his resolve this kid might be gassed. At least mentally. 

[troph 24781]

Those first two sets were hella fun. 

[troph 24781]

I’ve always loved Novak, not always a fan favorite but I like him.

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Bianca/Sakkari now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Playing 3, don’t think Bianca will hold up. 

[perfectchaos007 6621]

Looks like Sakkari has more energy left in the tank going into the third set, but maybe Bibi can dig deep to find enough energy to win this.

[Napoleon 8659]

I am all in for Sakkari and have been since the opening toss. 

She is Sparta?!

PS- You can never trust Andreescu’s drama. You just have to assume that she’s faking it again. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Pretty sure Bianca died like 7 times in that match. 

[Napoleon 8659]

Yeah. When Andreescu went left to the corner to hit a backhand at a tight angle for a winner, Sakkari started laughing because she felt that Andreescu was pulling her dramatic games again and she obviously realized that if she can get to and hit shots like that, she’s not really that hurt. 

F Bianca’s drama!

María should have done this at the net to Bianca…

 

[dcar00 14145]

that was such BS drama.  I'm not really sure she was hurt at all(her mannerisms really looked like someone faking it) but whatever.

same thing as last night with the other player.

when did this calling for the trainer crap start?  They need to just give players a certain number of TO's for a match and a definitive time, you can just sit there or you can call for a trainer.  if you run out and need the trainer again you play or forfeit.  suck it up buttercup.

[dcar00 14145]

 

[HoustonFrog 368]

Andreescu is annoying. So many fake injuries in the women’s game. Tsitsipas is the only one I can think of in the men’s game who totally abuses the system.

Fernandez is annoying as hell also. But not faking anything and pretty good.

[perfectchaos007 6621]

Leylah wins again. These Canadian teens are taking over the US Open

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Aryna just slaughtered Krejcikova. 

[perfectchaos007 6621]

Raducanu won the first set comfortably over Bencic

Do not like Bencic after the Olympic bullshit.
 

Go Posh British Melting Pot!

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Sakkari takes the first over Karolina @ 4.

I don’t know if she lost three points on serve on that set.

 What a performance.

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Damn, that was quick & painless. 

[Hefeweizen 5308]

Rolled pluskobot.  Not sorry to see that.  Raducanu Sakkari will be fun.

...

...So what do have in mind?

If it's rasslin', I'd take Raducanu first, or you may never live to enjoy even a single round.

[perfectchaos007 6621]

One teenager already into the finals. Lets see if there will be 2

[Hefeweizen 5308]

I think Maria wins but it’s tight.  I bet on Leylah in the final though.

[Jive Turkey 12593]

last match brought the heat.  hope this one does, too.

[Jive Turkey 12593]

Raducanu wins the first set 6-1 in a romp.  

[UTGrad98 2271]

I hate to be that pervy old guy but is this the best looking finals match ever?

Checking in. Not old. Raducanu is hot.

Physically, she reminds me of a young Ana Ivanovic.

Yup.  Unbelievable how good her side to side movement is and that is what I remember about ivanovic as well.

 

Emma has the best running backhand outside of Djoker that I can think of.

[UTGrad98 2271]

Tuning in to watch this semi final. Haven't done that in years. The amount of pressure on djokovic is unreal. 21st major AND first  calander grand slam since rod laver. Not even Federer had the calendar grand slam. Immense pressure. 

[Hefeweizen 5308]

A set each.  But Djoker looks like he’s about to kill someone on the court.  I don’t think he’s going to be denied tonight.

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Playing 5, boys. 

[gsoda3 3245]

sascha's legs are gone.

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Some fun stats here too. 3:00 tomorrow, then some football game we might watch. 

 

[gsoda3 3245]

gonna be a good day tmw

[ztejas 43411]

I know very little about tennis and yet I'm completely amazed at how good this guy is. 

[PittsburghTiger 6174]

Amazing third set so far, 5-0, just crazy

[PittsburghTiger 6174]

Ugh oh, 5-2 now

[ztejas 43411]

Zverev is fucking gassed. He basically has to count on Djok miscues at this point. 

[ztejas 43411]

Is this going to be the biggest final in a long time? Genuinely asking. 

[PittsburghTiger 6174]

He is amazing

In. Not for. I'm assuming it will be because it's capturing extremely casual viewers like myself. Then again Federer and Nadal always had very hyped finals.

it's a great tournament.  in the early rounds the matches start just before our primetime in the states and they carry on through our evening often lasting til our early morning commute.  for a night owl like me it's glorious.  also love that the tournament coincides with the MLK holiday.

I assume I'm missing an inside joke or maybe you're just working on your shtick routine.

I was answering what I thought was your question about if this was the biggest tournament for a while

What the fuck are you talking about? 

Did you actually just double down on not being able to read? I thought you were trying to fuck with me. Good Lord.

I thought you were asking if this final was the most important one that was going to happen for a while, i.e. the biggest tournament. What were you asking?

Let me apologize. We're at a complete impasse here. My initial comment depends on more context than simply reading what someone has wrote online. I now see how it could be interpreted either way. 

Apologies man. You're all good.

What I meant to ask was "Is this going to be the biggest final that we've seen in a long time?"
