Can Elena serve it out?

Man, Aryna is gonna break some shit tonight. Helluva match.

Congrats to Elena.

So this is one of the boys finalists. I looked him up and wikipedia doesn't show any connection to UT. Anybody know?

An announcer during Keaton's match today mentioned his commitment, decommitment to Texas. He's contemplating on turning pro.

Thanks. I just found this:

Keaton Hance has advanced to the semifinals of the boys’ singles at the Australian Open with a 7-6(9) 6-4 victory over Chinese Taipei’s Kuan-Shou Chen. The American fourth seed imposed his physicality throughout the contest, striking 29 winners and landing all his 23 forehand return points in play. “[Chen] is a really tricky guy to play; he hits a lot of interesting shots and is super spinny on the serve,” Hance said. 

“I made a good amount of unforced errors, but I’m happy that I was more aggressive than I usually am. My game is normally more neutral to defensive, but I went into the match with the mindset of hitting bigger, hitting flatter and going for my shots, and it definitely paid off.” Competing in his fifth boys’ singles Grand Slam draw, Hance’s previous best result was a third-round appearance at Wimbledon in 2025. He will next face Kazakhstani teenager Zangar Nurlanuly, who defeated Kai Thompson 3-6 7-6(4) 6-4 earlier in the day.“I played him at the junior worlds when I was 14. I’ve seen him around,” Hance said.  “He’s a good player — everyone in this tournament is. I’ve just got to focus on one match at a time and start preparing.”

The 17-year-old has claimed two titles in his junior career and is currently ranked at a career-high No.7 in the world. After reassessing his commitment to the University of Texas, his future pathway remains unclear. “I decided I wanted a little bit more time to see if I wanted to go to college or not,” Hance said. “I’m talking to different colleges, and I’ll take a couple of visits when I get back home. “There are a lot more guys now coming out of college and succeeding than there was a while ago. I also feel the level of tennis in men’s college is really high. There are a lot of players stepping away from the tour to go to college, and the level of the top guys on the big teams is close to the professional level.”

Hance's price probably went up, which is why he de-committed and is now looking at other colleges.

Hance takes the first set in the final.

Hance lost in 3. Guess he's not good enough to play for Texas anyways

Ain’t gonna make the end of this one, but we’ll see for a little while.

Just threw it on.

Being a degenerate has its perks.

Djokovic winning this would be legendary.

He gets the first break.

Didn't realize this would complete the career slam for Alcaraz.

Assume he'd get it at some point regardless.

Wow.

33 minutes, goddamn.

What a ball. Wow.

Fun so far.

Novak needs to channel some Tampa Bay Brady.

money on old daeg

Not sure Djok has the gas for this.

Guessing that does it.

Wonder if this was his last shot or if he can get back to another final.

This Spanish cocksucker seems tough to beat.

Its a big if but if he stays healthy and he gets a break on upsets of sinner and alcaraz he can win one(US Open or Wimbledon). he made semis in every major last year and just made the finals while beating sinner(even with the fortunate retirement in the QF). he's still a top 5-10 player at least and he just went 5 with Sinner. Is he more ripe to be upset early now? yes. but he just showed he can still compete at the highest level.

he's probably realistically got this year and next year and then he's done, IMO.
