Muchova (world #26) if Venus gets through her it's not a bad draw

Tricky! Love both anyway wouldn't mind if Venus lost.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

The only solution is men need to move to best of 3 in slams to make it equal.

Agree, and SF to final Bo5 for both.

Gosh this red dress is just wrong. Not for the first time though – what is she thinking?

I literally just tuned in and my first words were "Serena what are you wearing, girl?" I swear she needs to get as far away from Nike as possible. They make her look abysmal

 

[MichaelNadal]

She used to be so fashionable, idk what happened.

Help her out Venus

whatever, till the scoreline says it's all good then let it be good..

 

[Harry_Wild]

Looking like Serena is going to be in the second round! Ahn was a real easy opponent for Serena!

Uhh...Venus going to loose! Muchova is very good and young!

 

[alexio]

even with the win tonite, don't think she has great chances vs konta probably in the 3rd round

Serena at least 6-7 years ago had her own Nike line of clothing after Sharapova had her Nike line 2 years before. Serena wanted her only line too. Venus had her only clothing label and designed her own clothing. So Serena was the only one left out of the clothing line with her own label! Nike gave it to her!

Ons in straights over whoever the hell Kawa is.

5 points in and Venus looks gassed

0-40

 

[jm1980]

Venus looks old and tired

 

[spystud]

I’m going Aryna/Dodin while you kids watch Venus, 2-all early.

Not missing anything but Venus beat herself with about 70 errors already.

 

[alexio]

sloane is in the stands in venus' match and i thought for a second about hitman and his a bit sexy story with her

 

[kevin qmto]

So if Venus loses here, think this is the last US open for her?

She's had a couple flashes of brilliance still, had back to back line catchers, one on the forehand side for a winner just a minute ago. That's the old Venus we know.

If she could just clean up her game a bit!
I swear, if she had a biography about her career it would be called "Errors: The Venus Williams Story"

Dodin fighting hard to stay in the set.

Games been almost 20 minutes I think.

The anger in Venus' forehand at 15:30

 

[MichaelNadal]

 

[Mr.Lob]

Venus hit a wall in that last game. Muchova takes first set 6-3

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Buzarnescu is so bad, Sloane might be able to win a match.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Venus finally waking up. 3-1
Clijsters watching

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

All those players just finished practice and they are all assigned in their own room/boxes on Ashe so might as well watch.

 

[spystud]

Aryna is safely through.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Teichman to kill my SDL.

 

[James P]

Teichman to kill my SDL.

You and me both

 

[MichaelNadal]

5-3 Venus

 

[Djokovic2011]

Just switched over to Venus' match. Seems like even a highly dedicated professional athlete like her can't escape the dreaded middle-aged spread.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Player have their own section in the stadium and they walk without security all over the grounds too.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Now 5-5 Muchov serving!

 

[MichaelNadal]

 

[James P]

Now 5-5 Muchov serving!

Hate to be that guy, but c'mon Muchova!!

 

[MichaelNadal]

Im so tired of these "steady" girls beating Venus. It's really annoying Venus is hitting the fuzz off the ball but these girls hit like ZERO UE's

 

[Harry_Wild]

Muchov 6-5!

 

[jm1980]

And Venus loses on a terrible DF

GSM Muchova, 6-3, 7-5

 

[Harry_Wild]

Muchov wins and moves to 2nd round!

Always had the idea that both the Williams sisters were going to call it a day after the Tokyo Olympics but now that has been pushed back, who knows?

Did you make the same comment about Stan? Just curious.

Beats herself once again

 

[Harry_Wild]

Venus tied Jimmy Connors record of 22 U.S. Open appearances too! It to bad she she drew Karolina for 1st round!

 

[spystud]

The mask in front of the mic kills me. Seems like replaceable mic covers would make more sense.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Very tough first round for a 40yo. Still she could have won if she didn't hit the ball out of the stadium on every big point

 

[Harry_Wild]

Beats herself once again

Many recreational players normal beat themselves all the time. I feel sorry for Venus to lose for 1st time in the 1st round but her ranking is now pretty low #67, so she get a much tougher opponent and Muchova is a very tough opponent to win against since she can pickup her game when she needs to and has a great all around game too.

 

[spystud]

Sloane won a match! 2-7 in ‘20 now.
