2024 U.S. Open - Women's Discussion

[Tennis Fan States63]

Wow. 2 straight double faults by Muchova. Pegula needs to take advantage

and misses another easy one......Muchova has outplayed her, but there have been chances, and she is just way off tonight - it was a quick turnaround for this match, now - maybe that's part of it.

 

[bw114]

You really gotta feel like Muchova would be the world #1 without any injuries. Better than Saba on clay and better than Iga on hard

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Oh wow - laser FH from Muchova.....impressive.

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

US Open crowds don't appreciate Muchova's game. Sad the crowd can't appreciate good tennis. Typical New Yorkers.
I'm American but I just want the better player to win.

Yep. You nailed it. Hopefully, Muchova hits a slump to allow Pegula and the crowd to get back in it.

 

[Pheasant]

Break point!! Let’s go!!

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

I think Pegula said she wanted to go to Fuddruckers after the match.....haha.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Back on serve - second set.

 

[tx10is]

muchova having trouble with those overheads

pegula isn't playing bad she is just getting outplayed and muchova played really well that first set. muchova played yesterday also and was sick during her match

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

pegula isn't playing bad she is just getting outplayed and muchova played really well that first set. muchova played yesterday also and was sick during her match

Nah, first set she's so sluggish and don't know what to do. It's better now but yes Muchova level was insane set 1

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

pegula isn't playing bad she is just getting outplayed and muchova played really well that first set. muchova played yesterday also and was sick during her match

She has definitely picked it up these last few games.....might have a good match after all.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Two great efforts from KM to save BP's.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Don't look now, but JP is up a break now.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

JPeg does break

 

[tx10is]

muchova is missing shots now she had a chance to go up 3-0 and missed an easy shot set turned around after that

 

[roysid]

Well Muchova should have ran away with this match. But some easy errors plus being too predictable has made this second set slipping away.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

the plot thicken

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

Well Muchova should have ran away with this match. But some easy errors plus being too predictable has made this second set slipping away.

Score's gonna look like the Sinner/Med match.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Back on serve after the WTA break do-si-do.....Rennae Stubbs may have a point about Muchova's stamina from the stomach bug she was battling.

 

[JJGUY]

Muchova level dropped fast, she better gets this done in straight sets

 

[jayvee]

Muchova SO much better player than Pegula.

 

[tx10is]

now that was a shot

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Muchova's got some hands......wowzer......whatta volley.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Muchova commanding points again.

 

[Pheasant]

Muchova was clutching her back on the change over. If this goes to a 3rd set, she could be in big trouble.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Two SP's for Pegula.....oh my.

 

[spystud]

Let's play 3.

 

[GoKenin]

More tennis anyone?

 

[Sudacafan]

Pegula showing her worth. Takes the second set

 

[ultimathule]

JPeg!!

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Pegula showing her worth. Takes the second set

JPeg working hard to add millions to her billions

 

[Fabresque]

Alright going 3. This’ll be interesting

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

DF - yikes......and they are going to a 3rd and final set.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Muchova wins this right?

Here's the 50-50 flip a coin match I was talking about.

 

[Pheasant]

Pegula stepped up her game a lot that set while Muchova came down to earth.

 

[jayvee]

As expected the match on Muchova's racquet. Hope the break helps her regain composure.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

Muchova's done - body betrayed her again.

Shame, she was putting on quite a show for as long as she was healthy.

 

[robyrolfo]

Steffi FH was a shocking new trend back then. It certainly was not retro. Same with Henin BH. Classic styles like Evert, Navratilova, Sancez-Vicario, those are the players Navarro plays like.

Um, what? I like Navarro, but she is nowhere near playing like Navratilova (or most other players from that era). Her slice isn't good (and she only uses it when forced), she doesn't volley particularly well, and she never serves and volleys.

Why do we never see women slide? If recreational 4.5s can do it WTA pros really should be able to as well

Below...

I usually don’t like watching players who default to a BH slice shot in and shot out. But there’s something about Muchova’s slices (and Grigor’s) that intoxicate me

With takes like these, no wonder you are a Cobolli fan.

JPeg sick or just feeling defeated? Energy level and body language are both bad.

She always looks like this. Lethargic and uninterested. I don't know how anyone actually roots for her, because she gives you nothing to go on or get behind.

US Open crowds don't appreciate Muchova's game. Sad the crowd can't appreciate good tennis. Typical New Yorkers.
I'm American but I just want the better player to win.

WTF? Do you mean the most cultured, clever, diverse, worldly, industrious... population in the United States? Those NY'ers? Only thing typical about their tennis fandom is that they are busy with other things.

 

[jayvee]

Pegula stepped up her game a lot that set while Muchova came down to earth.

Muchova's level is what she played in 1st set. But whatever is bothering her came back and she lowered her level considerably.

 

[JJGUY]

it's hard to read Muchova, can't tell it's the lack of urgency or she was actually panicking, unless she comes back to life like in in set 1, it will be 50 / 50 match and slightly in favor of JPeg

 

[Sudacafan]

JPeg working hard to add millions to her billions

How greedy!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Well we finally have a 3 setter.

After a straight set SF earlier plus all 4 QF's finishing easily in straights. Even in the 4R only two of the 8 matches went 3.

It's all been rather straight forward.

 

[robyrolfo]

Muchova's done - body betrayed her again.

Shame, she was putting on quite a show for as long as she was healthy.

It is a shame, because she is so clearly a better tennis player and athlete than Pegula. If Pegula wins this, it will be boderline offensive.

 

[Nostradamus]

i get the feeling this WTA match will be better than any of the Men's semifinal match............. I am reading and hearing that Jack Draper has some kind of leg injury or thigh injury and he's going to get blown out tomorrow. and tommy paul and big foe are 2nd rate players so nothing to see there.

 

[jayvee]

WTF? Do you mean the most cultured, clever, diverse, worldly, industrious... population in the United States? Those NY'ers? Only thing typical about their tennis fandom is that they are busy with other things.

LOL... oh dear... you need to get out more.

 

[tx10is]

yeah muchova's back seems to be bothering her she didn't serve and volley much in 2nd

 

[Sudacafan]

JPeg working hard to add millions to her billions

Billions are from her father, so she'll have to wait and hope he doesn't waste them before the right moment. Millions are hers now.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Can't disagree - that missed volley on BP up 2-0 could end up being a huge miss for Muchova.

 

[tx10is]

dang muchova is missing easy shots unfortunately you can tell something is bothering her
