2019 US Open -|- August 26th - September 8th -|- Grand Slam Tennis Comes To Queens
- Thread starter EvilChameleon
- Start date
Really hoping for a Serena win in the final. Seems like lately she gets there and gets straight up smoked.
My math is bad, 4 years then.
Though I would say during that magical year it was a struggle more often than not. She played some incredible tennis at points but the amount of 3 set strugglefests at Roland Garros and Wimbledon gave me multiple heart attacks. Still hate that she lost the CYGS to Vinci of all people too.
these women are just rolling over for Bianca at this point. SO many missed chances from Bencic, Mertens, and Townsend.

She's mentally losing it right now. Luck has nothing to do with that
No reason for any of the last 3 women to have lost to Bianca.

Well for the second US Open in a row Serena gets to play a young rising star who hasn't won a slam yet.
Nah, Bencic got outplayed when she got tired. Andreescu overpowered her.
She was fucking up 5-2 and proceeded to win 0 games after. She had SET POINTS in set 1. Embarrassing. Literally rolled over.

ESPN was like "nah, we don't need to see the interview with Andreescu or offer any post match commentary".
I like Bianca's chances. Thus far she's been fearless. If she maintains that attitude and Serena's level dips just enough, she can take this.
Sure, but a past injury and then her struggling with the heat against Mertens (they were mentioning the court getting really stuffy. Not sure if that'll be the case on Saturday).
Well my wife purchased Finals tickets before the tournament even started (and still they are out in the sticks), so we will be there on Saturday (and Sunday). We are rooting for Serena. Hope we can finally stop talking about Margaret Court. But should Andreescu win, it's going to be cool to see a first time Grand Slam winner.
Cloudy, cool (high of 70F), 30% chance of rain but starting in the afternoon.
let's hope there won't be any by the time Rafa's match starts
I believe hearing that this is the first time that Nadal will be playing Berretini. I remember Berretini was pretty hyped up heading into Wimbledon; nice to see another next gen player starting to come into their own.
18 year old Sinner played really well against Wawrinka in the first round. Future looks good for Italian men's tennis
Yeah definitely - I caught the end of that match on TV. Sinner looked great and was pretty fearless in his play style and didn't show the type of nerves one might expect on that stage/at that age. I wish I had been able to see the whole thing.
Day 12 Discussion Starts

As a New Yorker, I really am taking a liking to this Medvedev kid. His FU attitude to the crowd was pretty fun. Would love to see his post-game court interview if he wins it all, lol.
i would love another heel interview like djokovic had that one year against roddick
too many respectful rivalries these days haha
All Nadal has to do is go after Berrettini's backhand. The worst backhand I've seen in a top 30 player

What are you talking about?
Berrettini completely choked the tiebreak. Inexcusable.

Women's Final Discussion Begins
It's about that time. You know Serena's toughest match this tournament was against a teenager who's nowhere close to as good as Andreescu. Serena needs to bring her A+ game to win
