US Open 2020

[kihei]

Garin came all the way back from two sets down against Kukushkin, was up a break in the fifth, and yet still lost 7-5. Tortoise 1; Hare 0.

 

[BMOK33]

No idea how Giorgi has so much power for her size and also how she isn’t a much better player

 

[Tuggy]

Denis loses the first set to Kwon.

Leylah up first tomorrow on Ashe against Kenin.

Felix and Murray are the night cap.

 

[Tuggy]

Denis firing on all cylinders the second half of this match. In the drivers seat up a break in the 4th.

 

[kihei]

Those boards of laughing, cheering, just weird faces is like a rejected special effect from a Harry Potter movie. Make them go away.

 

[kihei]

Kenin absolutely radiates determination.

Kenin absolutely radiates determination.

Yeah Leylah's in tough today, but she's hanging in.

 

[BMOK33]

Kenin absolutely radiates determination.

I feel Kenin is too smart a player to lose to Leylah assuming she isn’t having a day where nothing is working. The 15-17 year olds will usually upset the top 3s or top 5s who are “hitters” vs players. Scott and the other American really blew it after great starts

 

[kihei]

Fernandez need experience but she sure didn't look out of place in the latter stages of that set. Kenin's service game has been amazing,. The second set might go quicker.

 

[Tuggy]

Vasek vs Milos up soon on Louis Armstrong.

 

[kihei]

Her father/coach looks like no fun at all, but, man, Kenin is very well-schooled in tactics. It's winning her points.

 

[Tuggy]

Well double fault for Fernandez to lose it but she played well today.

Kenin is just on another level than her at the moment.

Leylah should have a bright future.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Aside from Kim Clijsters Kenin is my favorite female player. Just a battler.

 

[Elvis P]

I posted a few GS records that you may find interesting here.

 

[kihei]

Since tennis started again, Milos really seems like he is going all-in on his forehand, running around his backhand to hit it every chance that he gets.

Rooting for Vasek today.

 

[BMOK33]

Millman/Dmitrov is an automatic 5 hour match Saturday if they both advance today

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

I like Vasek but rooting for Milos as I think he has a legitimate chance at beating everyone except Novak, can't say the same about Vasek.

 

[kihei]

I still think Milos needs somebody else to take care of Nole for him on the way, but, I agree, he has a much better chance than Vasek to win this tournament.,

 

[kihei]

Felix/Andy versus Vegas/Vancouver this evening. What to do?; what to do?

 

[kihei]

I thought you're a Leafs fan.

Sure, but I like the playoffs. Plus I want a Canadian team to win the Cup for a change. Plus I have a big vcash bet on Vegas. So divided loyalties all around.

 

[kihei]

Watching Pospisil and Raonic play yet again against each other is like reading a book over and over that I didn't like that much the first time I read it. Yawn.

 

[kihei]

And just like that Milos is on the brink of disaster.


Impressive win for Vasek. Upsets Milos' apple cart big time, 6-7, 6-3, 7-6, 6-3.

 

[MsMeow]

Whoa! Vasek wins in 4! I thought he might withdraw when he started having an issue with a muscle in his side-ribs because that's tough to deal with while serving.

It's conflicting as this might have been on of Raonics best chance at a GS. But, I feel especially earlier in their careers, Raonic has always overshadowed him in Canadian tennis, that this is probably a big victory for Vasek. I don't recall him beating Milos in a high profile tournament like this.
