ROGER FEDERER: do believe since the roof is on that there is no air circulation in the stadium. I think just that makes it a totally different US Open. Plus conditions maybe were playing slower this year on top of it. You have soaking wet pants, soaking wet everything. The balls are in there, too. You try to play. Everything gets slower as you try to hit winners.

soaking wet balls huh :thunk:

Haha. I think the conditions suit Millman more too because he's from Brisbane which is humid as gently caress.

If Millman can beat Federer he should, no he must beat Djokovic

An hour for 6-3 is loving ridiculous.

Djoko looks like he's about to keel over and Millman is too busy making dumb errors.

Delpo takes out Nadal cleanly. Kei grinds down Djokovic in 5 sets if not winning outright. Good wins on Sunday

I normally root against Serena, but I've been a fan of Naomi ever since her first slam at the 2016 Australian Open so I'm doubly rooting against Serena.

Great serving from Osaka. And everything else to be honest. Hopefully she keeps this cool even if Serena improves.

Ump gave her a penalty early because her coach gave her a thumbs-up after winning a great rally, and he said she was "getting coaching". Serena was super pissed because he's basically accusing her of cheating, and she doesn't even take the coaching breaks she's allowed to take. So when she smashed her racquet she got a second warning and a point penalty, which I think is when she realized the first warning actually counted against her. So she told the ump off for stealing points from her and he gave her a third warning which is a game penalty.

Yeah I follow all that, it was more of a rhetorical "what the gently caress :psyduck:"

Now I feel bad for calling her shook.
