Tennis: US Open 2024

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

I’m going with Zverev and Pegula. Feels like they’re both due.

Both of them are mental midgets in grand slams, not gonna happen imo

Even though true, sometimes you just run into a tournament that goes your way.

Women's seeds went 14-2 on opening day, a real first-round rarity in Slams lately.

I think Sabalenka has the women's side wrapped up unless she goes crazy in a match on her serve and double faults herself out of the tournament. I think everyone has been waiting for Zverev to finally to win the big one but man does he just play himself out of matches. Had no excuse losing the AO match to Meddy this year, I think he would've beaten Sinner if he got there too.

Yeah, there's the rub. For Zverev to win a GS is the equivalent of a leopard changing his spots. He needs to show that he can overcome the psychological barriers that have limited him so dramatically and so consistently in his career. I'll believe it when I see it.

All Canadians in action today. I think Diallo has a decent shot for his first GS MD win against Munar. Everyone else with tough/tight matchups.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Very intrigued to see how Stef looks today, first match after he fired his dad as his coach right?

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Lol Stef broken in the first game of the match, I guess I got my answer maybe

 

[Tuggy]

Felix on his way out in straight sets...

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Mensik is a tough draw for anyone this early especially with a player who hits peaks and valleys as hard as FAA does ever since his incredible rise to the top 10 a couple of years back

 

[kihei]

Such a disheartening performance by Felix who looked like yesterday's news against Mensik who played great, opportunistic tennis. Jakub looks capable of having the future we all thought Felix was going to have.

What an awful end it looks like to Collins's career. The mid year injury derailed her badly or whatever it was.

Big fan of Mensik, I think there's a top 10 player in him

Osaka makes a fashion statement with a big pea-soup green bow on the back of her warm-up jacket.

Fun, but hot day yesterday, crowds are ridiculous. One positive, they let people in after every game now, so no waiting 3 games before being allowed in at the beginning of a set.

Watched all of Bublik and Zheng, Bublik just a clown at points, shame, talent is there. Zheng looks like he is still hurt, wouldn’t expect a deep run for him, however, the talent is obviously there.

Watched all of Rune, Nakashima deserved it because he just kept the ball in play all day, while being great on break points. Rune was yelling at his Mom all match, and she left by the third set. Felt bad for Kenneth Carlson taking the brunt of it, but at least he’s getting paid.

Watched most of Mpetshi-Perricard, who was dreadful, great serve, but he has nothing else in his game. He should honestly reach out to Isner to see if he could work with him this offseason for a few weeks. He’s always going to be a serve bot, but right now, the rest of his game is unplayable.

Ended with Tiafoe, which had an excellent crowd, biggest crowd I have ever seen on Louis Armstrong, some really nice shot making from both.

 

[TCTC]

Haven't seen her in a while, but what happened to Ostapenko? She looks... bigger.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Jannik in trouble?

Going next Monday for the Rof16, I expect it to be a zoo lol. Gonna try to get there early and get a few Honey Deuce drinks before the madness starts

Haven't seen her in a while, but what happened to Ostapenko? She looks... bigger.

Gonna assume it happened during covid, like most of us, lol.

 

[kihei]

Osaka looked real good against Ostapenko, like contender good.

 

[MsMeow]

Sinner is in trouble although he is ahead in the 2nd.

Kokkinakis pulls off one of the more predictable upsets in recent memory with a four set win over Tsitsipas.

"Felix Auger-Aliassime is one of the worst players I have ever seen" - Fans aghast as Canadian loses to 18-year-old Jakub Mensik in US Open 1R

Felix Auger-Aliassime lost to 18-year-old Jakub Mensik in the first round of the 2024 US Open on August 27, extending his disappointing run of form in the North American hardcourt swing.

Is FAA pursuing a career as an amateur?

"Jannik Sinner booed mercifully at US Open after PED scandal"

He was booed mercifully, not mercilessly.

Evans over Khachanov in the longest match in US Open history.

No way did I see Alcaraz dropping a set tonight

 

[Tuggy]

Diallo gets his first GS win! Took him a couple games to serve it out and some sort of hand/wrist cramp, but gets it done.
