2024 U.S. Open - Women's Discussion

[Baseline_Bungle]

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

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

Lol... do you not see it?

Muchova is FINNISHED

Will be shocked if she wins another game.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Welp - this match has officially flipped, folks.

 

[Midaso240]

Oh man, this is really disappointing. Nothing against Pegula, but it's just not going to be as interesting a matchup in the final if it's her in the final rather than Muchova

 

[Mark-Touch]

Muchova and Pegula.
The Hare and the Tortoise.

 

[time_fly]

What a turn around. Muchova is on her way to a bagel in the third.

 

[jayvee]

Oh man, this is really disappointing. Nothing against Pegula, but it's just not going to be as interesting a matchup in the final if it's her in the final rather than Muchova

Both healthy Pegula and hurt Muchova will get destroyed by Sabalenka.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Muchova still battling - BP.

 

[Bisquick]

Turning into a decent watch this match.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Lol... do you not see it?

Muchova is FINNISHED

Will be shocked if she wins another game.

My post was in response to what looked like a runaway match after the first set.
Understand now?

 

[ultimathule]

3-0, JPeg. So far so good.

 

[robyrolfo]

Pegula has NO IMAGINATION. Just sad...

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

Is that a response? Do you have something of substance to say? Care you try an argue otherwise?

 

[ultimathule]

Muchova putting on a show

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Muchova led Pegula 6-1 2-0 in this US Open SF.... why does a lead like that involving Karolina sound so familiar?

Oh yeah, Ash Barty led Karolina Muchova 6-1 2-0 in the Aus Open QF in 2021 before Muchova stormed back to win the match in 3 sets.

Deja Vu but not in a good way for KM this time.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Some great play from Muchova from 40-0 down.....not done yet.

 

[jayvee]

Is that a response? Do you have something of substance to say? Care you try an argue otherwise?

No, no... NY is the capital of the Universe, just ask any NYer!!!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

JPeg saves break point, holds for 4-1.

 

[ultimathule]

JPeg showing some intestinal fortitude

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Ohhh - got impatient there on BP. That may cost her.

 

[MeatTornado]

A Pegula win would be a real bummer.

I just want Muchova to break through.

 

[McGradey]

That was a crazy point with the lobs. Wow! So much craftiness and variety on show from Muchova.

Think she’s buggered here though. What a shame.

 

[robyrolfo]

Muchova pushes a routine forehand wide, under no pressure, and the announcers are talking about Pegula's mental toughness? WTF? Are they even watching the match?

 

[robyrolfo]

No, no... NY is the capital of the Universe, just ask any NYer!!!

That's not what I said, but nice try. What backwater do you live in?

Ohhh - got impatient there on BP. That may cost her.

Played so well to get there, and then just forced it too much.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

KM too deep with the FH and starting to run out of time.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

Karo fighting so hard... despite the fact that she can barely walk. What a shame.

 

[spystud]

Quite the point there.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Bail-out net dump from Karolina.....ouch.

 

[Oval_Solid]

Muchova has alcaraztitis

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

JP has that cross-court FH from corner to corner.....and KM inside outs her back to the corner - good stuff!

 

[jayvee]

That's not what I said, but nice try. What backwater do you live in?

Silicon Valley.

 

[Aabye5]

Not Much-ova match, is it?

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

The dreaded dropper error......wow.

 

[ultimathule]

What a nerve wracking game that was, lol

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Rock 'em Sock 'em!

 

[GhostDog]

Karo needed that break. This is over.

 

[zvelf]

Regardless of whether Muchova wins tonight, she's proved that she's the most impressive tennis player to watch when it comes to all-court skills.

 

[Mark-Touch]

We can now add juggler to the list of Muchova's talents.

 

[Sudacafan]

In the last two Pegula serve games, she reached 40-0, then Muchova had break points, but Pegula could win them both in the end.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

it was a long game but Jpeg survives.

Some of you didn't appreciate the demure game of Pegula.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Jpeg popping that FH very nicely.

 

[chjtennis]

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.

No, I only mentioned Navratilova as an example of a classic player. Navarro's style is more like C Evert's, MJ Fernendez's or A Sanchez's.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Three MP's.....oh my.

 

[Sudacafan]

Another game Pegula leading 40-0, now got it at 15.

 

[Mark-Touch]

How many people besides me thought jPeg had a chance after the first set?

 

[ultimathule]

An American in a slam final. I don't believe it

 

[Sudacafan]

Nice match.

 

[JJGUY]

well I am not really surprised here, the Hot-N-Cold Muchova is no match to steady JPeg.

 

[spystud]

Adidas won.

 

[Sudacafan]

No matter her result in the final, Pegula will be #3 in the WTA rankings next Monday.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Regardless of whether Muchova wins tonight, she's proved that she's the most impressive tennis player to watch when it comes to all-court skills.

You can have all the skills in the world, but if you can't cross the finish line it doesn't mean squat.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Jessica Pegula has done it - her first GS SF, and now her first GS Final - prevailing 1-6, 6-4, 6-2 over Karolina Muchova - who will be back if she can stay healthy. Tough loss for her as she had control of this match for a while.

Ladies Final - Jessica Pegula v. Aryna Sabalenka on Saturday.
