What odds would you have got on a US Open women's final between Fernandez and Raducanu?
How cool. Watched both the semis. In the first I was just waiting for Fernandez to get overpowered but too good.
Really looking forward to the final.
What's great to see is the joy these two are playing with. Exuberance of youth?

The Joker will end up the GOAT after this match (if he isn't already). Unbelievable player especially when you take into account the players he's had to beat to get win his GS titles.
The top 3 players in the history of the game all playing each other at or near their peak. And he's come out on top. Unbelievable

You may well be right, but I just can't warm to him.

He is definitely a polarising figure. And I don't like his anti vaxx stand. But on court you have to admire his skill. His anticipation, and his shot making ability is superb

Easily the least likeable of the big 3.

His need to be liked is a turn off.
But extraordinary player.
Hard to speak about GOAT without acknowledging changes in game:
Composite racquets/hybrid strings/slowed down hardcourts/less grass.
Would have had his work cut out against Borg with a wooden racquet on clay!
But second slam would objectively make his claims near impossible to ignore.

5 sets though, Medvedev has only lost a set so far? https://www.atptour.com/en/news/medvedev-felix-us-open-2021-friday

Gonna hop on the British bandwagon for the women’s final.
Hmmm. She takes inspiration from Tim Henman. That is asking for trouble…

On a knife edge
Both brought their A game
Both going for it

TBF, it seemed to work for Andy Murray.

Not a huge tennis fan but, yeah, you're spot on. Great to watch.
