am i going crazy or something? they didnt do this poo poo at other opens? or maybe i didnt notice because 3 out of the 4 quarterfinals were fed/nadal/djok and i turned it off after they robotically cruised to another semi

the US Open is really proud of playing the best matches so late that everyone has to go to bed and then wake up to headlines about how they slept through the greatest tennis match ever played in the history of humanity

Okay, went out to run an errand and I'm back in time for a set 4 tiebreaker. Has Tiafoe not gotten a service break at all this match? Great match though.

I would have thought he was about to fold the way things were going in the second and third sets.

Got to root for my Maryland homeboy!

This is gonna be like last year’s final. Alcatraz is gonna be pooped after three 5 setters in a row, Ruud in straights.

Nah he's 19 he'll be fine. Alcatraz is the far better player he should crush him.

Ruud is a fraud who has never won a title above ATP 250

Tiafoe played amazingly above his level this tournament and hopefully he can continue to refine his game. He's a very likable player, it'd be nice to see him move up the rankings.

Don't think I've ever seen someone with as well rounded of a game at 19, including mentally. It's pretty scary to think that he still has a few years to go before he enters his prime. I think he has chance to complete a calendar year grand slam. When he peaks he should have at least a 2-3 year run where he should be the favorite at every slam. Exciting stuff!

If he can improve his serve so he starts getting more free points off it, he'll be incredibly hard to stop
