Its the crowds. I don't see it happening otherwise.
Totally. I hate the USO crowds, especially in the early rounds or when an American plays, but it definitely makes a huge distance.
And I must say Angie often is frosty at the net when she loses (understandably, champions hate to lose, but not always very sportsmanlike), but it was a nice gesture for her walk around the net to give Leylah a big smile and a hug. She seemed to really respect Leylah, clapping at some of her more impressive shots. And Iâm sure Angie was flattered when Leylah said sheâd been inspired by Angie as a lefty.

Thatâs what Iâm liking about this U.S. Open. Even when the pundits or some of us have given up on these younger or less experienced playersâoh, they should have closed it out in straights, the veteran will prevail if this goes the distance (Botic vdS), or they couldnât possibly beat two champions in a row (Leylah)âthey havenât given up on themselves.
Theyâve shown a lot of FIGHT and problem solving, which is fun to watch.Â

Diego isn't winning it...the other guy is losing it.
Diego looks slow..his shots aren't great at all.
This guy is 5-1 up in the fifth, and Iâm still not sure heâll pull it off.
He pulled it off⌠finally. With a lot of help from Diego, of course.
Medvedev is gonna devour him, but still. Cool story.

I hate watching underdog players perform so well throughout the match, and just blow it when victory is in sight. See: Botic van de Zandschulp.

Sock was playing out of his mind that first set, and now he can barely move?

Wow at Shelby Rogers coming back to beat Ash Barty. What caused Ash to unravel from up 5-2 (double break lead)Â in the third? I missed it.

Like so many, I woke up every morning to that guy as a kid. Hereâs a fun moment thatâs making the rounds in tribute.

Novak looks shaky this tournament. Iâm sure not having played since the Olympics has a lot to do with it. Not enough matches under his belt. But Novak is always a bit off at the USO. The heat isnât the issue this year.
Kei is letting Novak off the hook in this fourth game of the second set.

Ryan OâConnell, creator and star of Special, will co-write and co-produce the series and and also join the cast as a âpop-culture nerd with cerebral palsy.â

Naomi says she doesnât know when sheâs gonna play her next tennis match. Sheâs taking a break for a while.

The McEnroe brothers are SO annoying. They are talking about nonsense when the ball is in play.

I suspect sheâll do that. Oof.
Leylahâs got moxie.

Indeed. That was a very poised, mature performance.

She certainly likes Leylah more than she likes another young Canadian.
