2022 US Open - Women's Singles Discussion

[ACE of Hearts]

These semifinals in the women’s side hasn’t been great to watch.

 

[Mark-Touch]

'Sabalenka gets off quickly' - Pat McEnroe

How would he know?

 

[martinezownsclay]

The winner of this match will win the title. Both ladies have too much power for Jabeur.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Wonders never cease as I agree with Rennae Stubbs - lose the let.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Well Swiatek better not lose her serve again or this is pretty much over.

 

[abmk]

Sabalenka consolidates.

 

[jindra]

Iga just went back to 1st set levels...

 

[Devil_dog]

Not a good start to the 3rd for Iga.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

These semifinals in the women’s side hasn’t been great to watch.

Or listen to...

 

[Mark-Touch]

Ratings will drop for the final by at least one point if Sab wins this. I won't be watching it if that's the case.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Well, now the decider should go to a breaker just on principle.

or 6-1 to Sabalenka. WTA doesn't follow principle.

 

[PSNELKE]

Lol how everyone went "Sabalenka implodes", "never in doubt Iga" like she's Novak in his best days. This match is entirely on Sabalenkas racquet. If she plays halfway decent, Swiatek has no chance.

 

[abmk]

Iga steadies herself.

 

[Kralingen]

Aryna is a downright scary player at times. There’s really nothing you can do to her when she’s in the zone and going big. Iga needs to learn a slice imo.

Sabalenka has no chance.

 

[PSNELKE]

The winner of this match will win the title. Both ladies have too much power for Jabeur.

Same was said about Garcia. I also thought she'd be too much for Ons. Jabeur seems to be in the best position to take it

You are such an OTT hater of Swiatek. Pretty ridiculous. Yes if Sabalenka keeps her best form she should probably win the match, but most of your comments on Swiatek are crazy. Even saying some nobody out of the top 100 is a better hard court player than her, LMFAO!

 

[abmk]

great backhand pass from Iga

I never thought that about Garcia. I always expected given her career up to now she would probably hit a wall around this stage of the tournament, regardless her opponent. We already saw Jabeur in some of her best form lose to a power player in the Wimbledon final as the heavy favorite on paper in that match, so that is a better indicator.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Superb pass from deep, Iga Swiatek....danger time for Sabalenka, and she Aces for 30-30.

 

[abmk]

Aryna is a downright scary player at times. There’s really nothing you can do to her when she’s in the zone and going big. Iga needs to learn a slice imo.

Sabalenka needs a coach like Norman. Then she could definitely win multiple slams.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Swiatek back to spraying the ball in the 3rd set.

 

[abmk]

some good tennis in this game. deuce.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

BP, Swiatek.

 

[abmk]

terrible shot selection there from Sabalenka.

 

[Nostradamus]

WHO do you think Jabeur is rooting for ??????? LOL,,, you get a candy if guess right

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Swiatek gets the break back.

Back on serve.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Back on serve.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Sab's got a great service motion!

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Back on serve, as Sabalenka hits a couple wide.

 

[spystud]

Bet JPeg’s knocking back quite a few Heinekens tonight with the way daddy’s team is playing.

Jabeur was never the heavy favorite in the Wimbledon final. According to odds she wasn't, according to everyone else she wasn't. Slight favorite yes. But it's grass and she was playing a powerful hitter there, who also has a much better 2nd serve. Definitely not a shocker she lost there.

 

[abmk]

2 BPs Sabalenka.
This match is too unpredictable.

 

[PSNELKE]

Ya'll keep saying what you want but this match is entirely on Sabalenka's racquet.

 

[Zetty]

Nice point from Sabalenka whoo

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Sabalenka pretty much has two baseline gears - (i) hit it really hard and (ii) bash.

Gets the break again with some big shots and nice net play.

 

[abmk]

Iga's athleticism nearly stole that point, but good stretch from Sabalenka at the net. Sabalenka breaks.

 

[jindra]

Kurwa mac!!!!

 

[Kralingen]

That’s really a beautifully played return game from Shaba. This match heating up now.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

First set plot....

 

[Mark-Touch]

Does anyone know if commentators are paid by the word or by the hour?

 

[jindra]

I'd be happy if both these guys would stay at this level until end of the match.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

I'm tuning out.

Honestly happy for either to win, would prefer Swiatek but would be happy for Aryna.

Have fun y'all.

 

[MeatTornado]

It'll be ugly, but I still think Iga will find a way.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Sabalenka has decent net skill and confidence. No wonder she's good and better at doubles than Ostapenkos.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Hard to believe Swiatek is the number 1 player in the world with this garbage tennis she has displayed.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

It'll be ugly, but I still think Iga will find a way.

to the airport? Na yeah I think Sabs can implode too.

 

[Zetty]

Sabalenka just got too much juice, long as she doesn't implode....

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

did she just say Iga strings her racquet at 15 pounds??

 

[ACE of Hearts]

This has been an ugly match on both sides but Swiatek looks to be the uglier player in terms of play.
