“I wouldn’t be Serena without Venus.”

damn straight

 

Crazy that we might have seen the last of Serena and Venus on consecutive days. The end of an era.

 

Really gracious speech by Ajla there. Quite happy the crowd didn’t treat her as a villain at the end. She played phenomenally.

 

This is such a classy speech

 

Yeah, this rules. Definitely rooting for her the rest of the way.

 

Quite the night in Flushing. Having Alja over Serena in my bracket was one of the few predictions I got right. Granted, I didn't think Alja would have to play so well to beat Serena but it took a monumental effort given how well Serena played throughout the tournament. I didn't think anything would top Agassi's sendoff in the '06 Open but this absolutely dwarfed it.

On the men's side, it looks like Daniil is finding his form just in time to face Kygrios who looks absolutely locked in.

 

This Medvedev-Kyrgios match is living up to expectations so far. Nick took the first set tiebreak. We got some drama with Daniil complaining about Nick's box making noise.

 

Kachanov-Carreno Busta was excellent

 

Wtf is wrong with Kyrgios lol

 

Nick has always had the talent of an all-time great, but the chaotic energy and mental stability (in a sporting sense) of a rodent on speed. Fascinating and very sad career… that he could still capitalize on.

Took a break from the match for House of the Dragon, but keeping up with it on Twitter and it seems it got even more circusy

 

Yeah, danil just looks very lost not sure what’s up

 

Antics aside, Nick is realllllly talented.

 

Kyrgios is playing the match of his life. Don't think it's sustainable but it will do for tonight.

 

Happy to see Tomljanovic is up in her match

 

Is that a Celtics hat? Lol

 

Good amount of humility in Nick's postgame interview -- for his sake, hope he's turning a corner with his recent successes.

 

Big Foe bringing it to Rafa right now

 

Wow. Tiafoe playing incredible stuff against nadal here.

Really want to switch over to see kyrios doubles for the drama but Tiafoe looking like he could see this out

30-15 in 4th set first game point was incredible.

 

I think nadal slightly injured, but could clear the decks for a Kyrgios slam!

 

Tiafoe not getting the break in the fourth set's first game is gonna haunt him. Also probably shouldn't have been forced to play through the roof closing, which is an extreme disadvantage for the server.

 

Yeah the roof closure was tough and clearly took him out of it

 

incredible

 

For sure seemed like a collapse was incoming but damn he went and closed

 

I hope he wins the whole thing

regardless we get a new grand slam winner so I'm stoked

if I'm djokovic I'm thinking I shoulda just gotten vaxxed, I'd be sitting on 22-23 majors by now

 

BIG FOE
