2023 US Open tennis

And Keys drilled Vondrousova, gets Aryna next. That will be big girl tennis. 

[PittsburghTiger 6175]

I don't think the Zverev has it upstairs to beat Alcaraz.

She won tonight, they get Danilina/Heliovaara for the glory. I have never heard of that dude. 

I have a friend who is Finnish and still lives there with his wife and young child and I’ll bet he has never heard of him either.

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

NYC ain’t mad about this. 

 

[UpperWestside 6160]

This semifinal is going to bring some people out there that might not normally show up in order to see Shelton. Alcaraz has the biggest fanbase of any of the men (Coco has a bigger fanbase out there than anyone.), but Shelton can start to grow his own if he can at least get a set in his match.

He absolutely does not have it just a day & a half after completing a 4 hr 42 min 5 set match at around 2AM.

They both knew that Zverev was not back to 100% and it was a hot & humid night.

I think that Carlos should always be favored, but this match was decided as soon as Zverev won the previous match.

I am not forgetting the recent injury trouble Zverev is dealing with. I just don't think that he is good enough, when healthy, because I just think he makes too many mistakes. I don't think he has the make-up to beat that kid. A kid who looks to be extremely special and on a great career path. Zverev has to make a breakthrough soon as he is already 26 and younger guys are coming.

He's German, so I want him to succeed.

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Coco v. Muchova up shortly. 

[PittsburghTiger 6175]

Gauff is a treat to watch play.

[HouTex 1866]

What the fuck is wrong with the USTA?  They have an idiot making some dumb shit protest and they cause a 20 minute delay.  Get your shit together.

[HouTex 1866]

JFC, they are still watching over some moron hoping they can convince him to leave peacefully.  Get the asshole out of there. 

[nycHorn 2977]

I thought the dude glued himself to his seat.

[4th&Five 41506]

 

[nycHorn 2977]

 

Put a gag on him and leave him there until the morning.

Exactly.  Do it now.

[LTtxfan 49142]

New Yorkers are gonna be pissed if Coco loses now...

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Coco hates easy, so now it's 5-all. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Whoa, missed the FH clincher.

That was a long damn point.

Don't merge me, bro.

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Coco finally handles business. 

Now it's Aryna's turn. 

[HouTex 1866]

Way to go Coco.  I think she wins it all.  

[LTtxfan 49142]

Coco gets to 7 to win 2nd set and match...

Aryna missed the memo.  She is wild out there and Keys is just playing solid.

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Yeah, this is real bad.

Shame because this is a great match up and usually Keys is the one who gets wild.

[Hefeweizen 5310]

Lol WTA never change.  Watch tiger lady in set 2 go 6-0.

[troph 24781]

She’s such a fucking train wreck. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Ha, Madi broken at love. 

[perfectchaos007 6621]

If Sabalenka takes this set, it would be peak WTA for her to win the 3rd either 6-0 or 6-1

It’s great since this can apply to either right now.  Serving for the match and craters.

[hookem2010 2623]

How many straight points is that for Sabalenka, 10?

12.  Keys starting to fold.

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Damnit, Aryna should have won that game.

clutch 4 serves in a row. This isn’t Maddie folding it’s Saba finally waking up. 

[troph 24781]

Ok now she’s super tight dammit come on chica!!

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Aryna gonna roll this decider now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Uh oh, yips came back. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

And of course breaks right back. 

Women. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Breaker for the final, no pressure. 

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Come on Keys

These tiebreakers have been an ass kicking. Yikes.

Tiger queen roars into the final. 

Never a doubt. 

[perfectchaos007 6621]

Sabalenka has a good shot at winning the final, especially playing like that

[troph 24781]

her power that last set was something. When she plays like that wow. The kyrgios impressions though.

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Novak is being very mean to America's lefty. 

[UpperWestside 6160]

Djokovic’s taunt after match point was hilarious. Shelton had that coming. He poked the bear and the bear apparently noticed.

[InkaUtexas 25857]

Not trying to DT or CR, but I thought Russian's were barred from the tour? 

 

[PittsburghTiger 6175]

This fourth set in the Alcatraz v Medvedev match is fascinating.

I thought they just were not allowed to show their flag, so Medvedev does not have a flag, or abbreviation, for Russia next to his name. I think the same happened to a Belarusian gal.

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Ho lee fuk, ESPN & USO are bummin'.
