For me Leylah's win was bigger, because of Osaka's stature and because I'm Canadian.

Osaka was bound to loose this tournament early, I thought kerber would be the one to take her out. As for the other one, this could be the arrival of alcaraz

Sure!! But alcaraz is more impressive as stef was coming in with good form while Osaka didn’t

 

[James P]

Watched both from first ball, both very impressive victories.

Does almost losing to hip man considered good form?

I like to conserve my time. I only joined/re-joined the matches when there was a chance of an upset.

 

[CosmosMpower]

Osaka looked like she’s been on the couch eating Cheetos for the last 3 months. She lost the match and played terrible. Alcaraz is a beast ripping 90-100 mph winners at will.

 

[BGod]

Next-Gen will soon join Lost-Gen.

Agreed....a lot of poise showed for both.......one in a 5th set tiebreak, and the other having to break to stay in the match. Very good match strategy and patience as well from both Carlos Alcaraz and Leyla Fernandez.

I meant coming into the tournament. Naomi hardly won matches after AO. Tsitsipas reached b2b semis at Montreal and Cincinnati

Osaka as a former champion was more of a contender than one time slam finalist Stefanos. On the other hand, men’s tennis has a much bigger shortage of teenage contenders, I believe.

I think who was upset was bigger news on the women’s side, but who pulled off the upset and how the upset happened was bigger on the men’s side.

 

[Pavla]

Great day of tennis. Glad I took the day off to watch it

 

[Jonesy]

I see. Definitely better than Naomi these days.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Osaka is a joke.

 

[fishpiefriday]

Two great matches. Thoroughly enjoyed watching them.

she did look a little heavy again, but tough to say with the dress...not being fit was the only reason she didn't break out sooner on tour

 

[Hidious]

Quite impressed with Leyla's charisma, showmanship and interview. She is comfortable out there!

Yep. Just in time, Leylah turns 19 on Monday.

No, Alcaraz win was bigger because Spanish is my first language.

exactly this. I felt bad for her during the Serena incident but since then I can't say I'm a fan of hers. And I don't recall ever seeing a player hitting the ball consistently as hard as Alcaraz was hitting today. Seemed like he was going for broke on every shot...and he somehow managed to get them in when it counted. He was in a serious mind/body zone.

 

[Bambooman]

Fernandez sounds pretty Spanish too.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Fernandez is half Ecuadorian

 

[Sudacafan]

Fernandez sounds pretty Spanish too.

Not enough. I haven’t heard her say “Vamos“ even once.

 

[Sudacafan]

Fernandez is half Ecuadorian

Half is not enalf.

 

[Bambooman]

The non-Spanish on the the tour use that term the most it seems.

 

[Sudacafan]

It’s very cool.

Osaka won 4 of the last 8 HC slams; Tsisipas has won nothing!

But Osaka might've self-destructed more thoroughly than even Tsisipas yesterday.

Full crowds, fast courts, under the lights. The USO is bringing us the good tennis!
