The Official Tennis Thread (Vol. 2024 US Open)

[aepps20]

I'm not worried about Naomi in the long run if she's mentally ok. The women's tour is in shambles if we're honest. I wish one of these ladies would seize the opportunity and go on a run. I'm happy that Sloane and Jozy got married (Black Love) but I don't think she's going to play much longer.

 

[cool...but rude]

What an end to that tiebreak

 

[Sinner]

That TB was cray... then Manna just ran outta gas.

 

[rolaholic]

Auger-Aliassime

 

[youngwolf]

Shapo.

 

[Sinner]

Rafa's energy def has dropped a bit. Missed that 0-15 FH in the 4th, which could have turned things his way.

 

[richiemcfly]

Falling asleep. Won’t be able to finish watching. This nadal/shapo match

 

[kanyeezy411]

Shapo beating himself

 

[youngwolf]

How does Shapo still have a wearable pair of those Vapor Xs?

 

[Sinner]

^ I think there are a few others (like Simo) who are still wearing the old Vapors. I'm sure Nike pumping those out for their athletes.
Delpo still wears the Air Max Cage from 2013!

Anyway... I don't know how Rafa won that. He looked pretty drained with whatever that stomach issue was. Shapo caved early in the 5th tho... that break was all UFEs.

 

[rolaholic]

Fell asleep just as Shapo was about to tie it up late in the 4th set , glad to wake up and see that Rafa managed to pull through after all the momentum stated swinging Shapo's way.

Back in the semis

Hopefully FAA can take care of business tonight

 

[whtascene]

Ironic that Carlos Bernandes is the chair umpire accused of showing favourtism to Ralph.

 

[rolaholic]

Yea they both hated each others guts for years , Shapo's just extremely salty he couldn't close the deal after coming so close

His outbursts are Kygrios-esque at times, always easier to play the victim and lash out at others than take accountability

 

[Sinner]

That 'corrupt' comment will be expensive, I think.

 

[youngwolf]

DRC to the semis.

Ka-mon!

 

[whtascene]

FAA really taking it to Medvedev.

 

[Sinner]

What a match so far. Whatcha got left, FAA???

 

[whtascene]

Meddy channeling the Ivan Drago mentality.

 

[youngwolf]

Australia will take home the men's double title, and they'll have a chance to take home the mixed doubles and the ladies singles. Could be quite the weekend for them.

 

[Sinner]

Such a fantastic defensive display on MP.
Djoker-levels of defence and slideage.

 

[whtascene]

Barty definitely looks like she's on a mission.

 

[Sinner]

Barty makes it look so easy... plus her oppos don't seem to have an answer for her slice BH.
Her technique and fundamentals are so solid. Kids, learn from her playing style!

Meanwhile, Iga looks like she has no answers for Collins right now. I don't really care much for Collins, but her excessive 'come on's' are pretty irritating.

 

[whtascene]

Both semis were pretty much a non-event.

 

[youngwolf]

Rafa is looking dominant.
