Loki Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Well looks like Supergirl has discovered her Kryptonite. Ostapenko pulls off the shock and now moves 4-0 clear in their head to head. Coco Gauff will be the clear favourite to make it through, but Ostapenko can hit through anyone if she feels in the mood. Wozniacki has the same issues as Murray in that the counter punching style just doesn’t work against those that have power. After Coco went the break down in the third, she just reset, got more aggressive and just blew her away. Medvedev Vs De Minaur may be a good match tonight, Medvedev has lost his last two matches against him. Probably the best chance of an upset tonight, although if Rublev isn’t playing well Draper could beat him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Three of the same four semi finalists as Wimbledon in July then. As expected, Djokovic and Alcaraz have stomped their way through the draw with no real problems. Alcaraz dropped just the one set and Djokovic has dropped two. Both had tricky looking quarter finals against Zverev and American number one Fritz, both won them in straight sets. Alcaraz to face Medvedev again for a second straight slam semi final, the Russian will give him far more of a game than he gave him at Wimbledon for sure. He’s a former US Open champion after all and this is his best surface. The only surprise is unseeded 20 year old American Ben Shelton making it to his first slam semi, he’s not had the toughest route but he’s there and he’ll have the rowdy home crowd behind him against the big bad Joker. Can either of them stop the seemingly inevitable second Djokovic/Alcaraz final for a second slam in a row? Probably not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Was up early this morning and caught the end of the second women's semi final. I know things has run later than planned thanks to the protests that took place, but there were huge numbers of empty seats. Maybe they all fucked off when Keys won the first set 6-0 thinking she was going to canter it, if they had hung around they would have seen Sabalenka come back to win. She had a premature celebration when she thought the game was over when she got to 7 points in the 3rd set tiebreak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) And there’s the upset, I think. Not in the Djokovic game of course, he cruises past Shelton in straight sets. The Blackfish Medvedev has beaten the Young Wolf Alcaraz in four sets. Is this an upset? Former World Number one and former US open champion beats (soon to be) Former World Number one and former US Open Champion may not sound like much of a shock but I think it is, especially given what happened at Wimbledon. Medvedev is certainly some lad and he’s a hard court specialist. Can he beat Djokovic for a second time in a US Open final? He’ll fancy that he can. The US Open crowd love to hate both these guys, wonder if they’ll pick a side in this battle of the b*****ds.

Americans love hating anything Russian, so a real one in front of them is a dream 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Djokovic wins the final in straight sets to chalk up slam number 24, equalling Margaret Courts previously spurious all time record. He had much too much for Medvedev. Fairly routine slam for him again. He won the QF, the semi and the final in straight sets. He dropped just two sets all tournament, both of them in the 3rd round to another Serbian, Dere. The numbers are unreal. He’s entered 72 slams and made the final 36 times. Aged 36 he’s just put together one of the greatest tennis seasons of all time. Four slam finals, three slam wins and he will be the year end number one. The all time record number 25 looks inevitable next year - the next major is his favourite in Melbourne - and 30 is well within reach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
