Norrie you failure.

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?

Djoker is one game away from a finals berth. Pushed to 5 by Zverev but he's up 5-0. Showing his greatness again
-
History made if he wins one more. Great contest today.

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
-
@canefan I agree, he is a magnificent player.

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…
-
Fucking great match
On a knife edge
Both brought their A game
Both going for it
-
Love listening to Martina

TBF, it seemed to work for Andy Murray.

Not a huge tennis fan but, yeah, you're spot on. Great to watch.
-
That’s the way to win a set
She Who Dares, Wins
-
Compared to the absolute airhead bimbos that make it to the hawt thread, I’d prefer someone who can really play tennis.
1-0 to the Brit.
Damn shame it’s 3 and not 5 sets.
-
All the British Gold Medal winning Olympics competitors must be going FUCK
-
Fourth game in the second set was huge for Raducanu
-
Raducan(u), Radudid
🙌🙌🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great match
-
Who’s going to be the Director of this movie?
What a story
Qualifier to Champion
-
What a fairy-tale!
Came from nowhere. Qualifier for Wimbledon, qualifier for the US Open. Wins the latter without dropping a set.
Insane stuff.
-
And more importantly she appears to be a thoroughly lovely person
-
Feel a bit emotional! Wtf!
-
An enjoyable match that. There were nerves in the 2nd set but both players played without fear and went for their shots.
I doubt Raducanu's record will ever be broken.
-
Tim Henman
Leg End

Yeah. Class act - really grounded and with no airs or aggressive stuff. Love the way she acknowledged Tim Henman first of all after she won.
Mrs Meldrew read she flew her childhood tennis coach from her club in Bromley to be at the Final. Lovely thing to do.

This final was played on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Neither of the finalists were born then.

That is class

These two, along with Coco look to be the future of women's tennis.
Grace and style as well as power.

Good luck to the boy who wants to ask Hernandez out, her Dad is jacked
