The amount of lines Tomljanovic is hitting is insane. How the gently caress is she unseeded

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
She went down loving swinging. Goddammit I'm tearing up. You only get to see a few legends like that in a lifetime.

Credit to Tomljanovic and all of her other opponents for playing so well despite a crowd rooting so heavily for them to fail.

Not much better of a way to go down than like that. No shame in losing that match.

Did they just say that that was the longest match ever played at the U.S. Open? goddamn

I think just Ajla's longest match. Maybe the longest third round match, though. Three-plus hours is not unheard of, especially for semi/finals.

Margaret Court probably owes her a drink for preserving the Aussie record.

Serena seemed way more accepting of this being her last match then...everyone else in the world.

She hasn’t been competitive in her last handful of slam outings so she knew it was time.

She really lost her legs in that third set, I think backing up from the Konaveit match probably did some of the damage.

But also super happy for Ajla, she's been steadily improving over the past few years and her mental game is actually decent these days. Hopefully she gets seeded soon, she's had some rough draws and not getting those Wimbledon points has totally screwed her this year.

public opinion on Kyrgios flip-flops every time he stands on the court. This is a great opportunity for him to make a run at a GS title. He also gifted us a great meme gif from that Medvedev match

Casper Ruud absolutely insane right meow against Berrettini.

Ruud and Alcaraz got a shot at #1

Nadal #1 if neither of them make the final.


EDIT: JINX! Ruud with a lot of unforced all of a sudden

If ATP250 vulture Casper Ruud is the year end number 1 that certainly will be something. To be fair for that to happen he will have to have reached 2 of 3 of the slam finals that actually mattered this year.

Covid has killed millions worldwide but it's also probably kept Djoker from winning more slams via vaccine requirements, so who's to say if it's good or bad really
