2024 U.S. Open - Women's Discussion

[ibbi]

This is such an awful draw for Amanda, how did she get so screwed?

 

[spystud]

She didn’t get screwed at all. Step up & beat her.

 

[ibbi]

Wow, this is such an awful draw for Qinwen, how did she get so screwed?

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Wow, this is such an awful draw for Qinwen, how did she get so screwed?

down 1-5. whoa

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Maria Sakkari down a set pretty quickly......shocked.....just shocked I tell ya.......

Edit - now I'm seeing as she retired.....tough last couple of years for her in the GS events.

 

[ibbi]

What a struggle that turned into for Anisimova and WHAT A FOREHAND to seal it. Damn.

 

[Ronaldo]

Watched the ending, came as a surprise

 

[Aabye5]

First seed down....Maria Sakkari [7]

 

[Hitman]

Sakkari just sucks in slam play. SMH.

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Bella Donna straights sets over Birrell.

 

[ibbi]

Looks like Amanda might have blisters or something.

 

[Ronaldo]

Wowow, Niedermeier is thick!

 

[bezs]

Didn't know Svitolina is back with her old coach.

Amanda looks done.

 

[Hitman]

Wowow, Niedermeier is thick!

Looks like a shot put champion

 

[ibbi]

Wowow, Niedermeier is thick!

She is built like a house. Always good when she does well.

 

[ibbi]

Manda looked totally cooked and was hitting one handed backhands and stuff, and now she's won 3 games in a row to be right back in the third...

 

[Ronaldo]

Looks like a shot put champion

Shoulda Put that shot back into court

 

[Ronaldo]

She is built like a house. Always good when she does well.

Yeah Brick

 

[Mark-Touch]

Erika has really beefed up her game the past year! It's great to see.
She may have also put on a few pounds but it's difficult to see with her stick figure.

She's playing with a lot more confidence, crushing her shots and her serve has also
been greatly improved.

She'll never be able to eclipse her sister but there's still a lot more room to her upside.
You go girl!

 

[Ronaldo]

Whats with Dayana?

 

[ibbi]

Whats with Dayana?

Is she injured again?

 

[zvelf]

And Niemeier downs #32 Yastremska 6-4, 6-7, 6-4.

 

[Ronaldo]

And Niemeier downs #32 Yastremska 6-4, 6-7, 6-4.

Brickhouse Brown approves!

 

[fundrazer]

Badosa giving a beatdown. Saw her hit an absolute rocket of a forehand earlier in the first set.

Not getting too much resistance from Golubic though. Helps when Badosa can just tee off on 70-80mph serves.

 

[GhostDog]

She is built like a house. Always good when she does well.

She is indeed. I saw her up close in qualies @ Toronto Masters this past Aug. She reminds me of a larger Safina.

 

[Midaso240]

Damn, Siniakova is so cute. Too bad she'll probably go down in straight sets

 

[Ronaldo]

Damn, Siniakova is so cute. Too bad she'll probably go down in straight sets

Shirley there will be doubles for Katerina. She did make the Final in the Land, The Mistake by The Lake, Burning River Beer

 

[Mark-Touch]

What do you get when you take Djokovic, cut him up in pieces, stir him up, add some sauce, bake him and fry him?
You get a 16 year old American woman named Jovic who could bounce veteran Linette from the U.S. Open
if she doesn't quickly get her act together!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Not surprised by the Jovic result, a very successful junior, I caught some of her Wimbledon Junior SF where she faced Aussie Jones, although she lost that match she showed insane grit. Also won the junior doubles title at both Wimbledon and the Aus Open this year.

And no disrespect to Linette but she's woeful at the slams outside the one SF she's never gone past the 3R in 36 other main draw attempts.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Hope Vika and Sloane can finish their opponents off in their 3rd sets. Both up a break.

Should they win they'll face off in the 2R.

2017 champ vs the 2020, 2013 & 2012 runner up. That will be fun.

Jovic is playing doubles and mixed doubles too.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

This Stephens/Burel match is nuts.....a lot of struggles on both sides but going down to the wire.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Sloane blowing this as she does best. Served for the match and got broken.

We've had 3 consecutive breaks.

Watch Burel win this now.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Sloane led 6-0 4-1 double break.

Loses 6 of the next 7 games to lose the 2nd set 5-7.

In this 3rd set she led 4-2, served for the match just before up 5-4 but now Burel holds serve and she's in front 6-5. First time she's been in front this entire match. If she breaks here she wins it.

 

[onyxrose81]

Sloane is such an unserious person.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Just dreadful by Sloane, terrible unforced error and Burel has double match points.

Wow, almost tanked that last point with another hideous error and Burel wins.

Pathetic by Sloane.

 

[Aabye5]

It's like Sloane doesn't like winning

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Burel with the anti-Med return position.....lol.....almost in the service box it seemed.

 

[Oval_Solid]

curse of the bagel

 

[onyxrose81]

Just absolutely pathetic from Sloane.

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Burel has a smooth game. Glides across the court with smooth strokes. The homer announcers are pissed that Sloane lost.

 

[JJGUY]

down 1-5. whoa

I watched a bit in the morning, Zheng was awful from the start and only held the serve once, Anisimova was serving for the first set at 5:1, and it surely looked like a breadstick set but the scoreboard was 6:4, Zheng must have a massive comeback after that.

Amanda's level dropped pretty dramatically. Fitness issue maybe.

 

[NoleFam]

Sloane is such an unserious person.

She chokes time and time again. How could she lose a match from that position?

 

[optic yellow]

Sloane to me strikes as a perfect example of how pervasively ADHD is underdiagnosed in women.

 

[Mark-Touch]

The sun set prematurely for Lulu.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Did anybody here catch Lulu's older sister play before she retired?
They say she was quite the phenomenon.

 

[Arak]

Sloane to me strikes as a perfect example of how pervasively ADHD is underdiagnosed in women.

She is just a millionaire playing part time tennis. She mentioned long ago that she wants to have a life and play tennis in the same time. I don’t blame her to be honest. I would have probably done the same.

 

[Nostradamus]

man , is this miss australia playing against Sabalenka ?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

She is just a millionaire playing part time tennis. She mentioned long ago that she wants to have a life and play tennis in the same time. I don’t blame her to be honest. I would have probably done the same.

Has now lost 11 of her last 13 matches. I hope this doesn't sound offensive to say and perhaps she doesn't want kids, but she's 31 and been married for over 2.5 years now. Perhaps now is the time (if she wants) to take time off tour and have a kid like many have done. If she wants she can still comeback. Svitolina, Woz, Kerber, Townsend, Strycova and Osaka just a few of the last few years to have a kid and comeback. Many more have simply retired and had the kid/s like Barty, Bertens and Konta.

I feel i've seen Sloane speak about wanting kids and might as well do it now cause her form sucks. Otherwise could be like Azarenka who wins the Sunshine double and looks set to dominate the tour and then got pregnant with Leo!
