I’m sorry but he’s the worst. And he attacked Casper Ruud earlier on Twitter completely unprovoked (later deleting it). Meanwhile, everyone thinks it’s just hilarious.

 

 

Why was this match allowed to continue?

Someone needs to translate this because, I'm intrigued.

 

 

They look really good together and I'm super curious of what her Ukrainan family thinks.

Probably depends on how well-traveled they are.  If they disapprove, I suspect that she doesn't care.

 

 

Gauff is still in the doubles tournament, I think. 

 

Today I got to meet my idol @MichelleObama 😍. Her words and wisdom on my journey will stay with me on the court over the course of my career. She is a true inspiration. I have never arrived, I am always becoming! Thank you for your time. 🙏🏾 https://t.co/RsBhxrbAkc

Some unreal gets.

 

 

And Duckhee Lee is deaf, which makes his on court exploits that much more impressive. 

 

From what I've read Tsitsipas has been having issues with the court and his shoes all week.  You'd think he would bring a couple pairs with him. 

Benoit lost his cool but Stef can annoy players sometimes with his various stalling tactics (challenging calls that are obviously going to turn out to be erroneous just for the extra time). 

 

After Stefanos Tsitsipas delayed play for yet another shoe issue, this is how Benoit Paire decided to do the very next point (1/2) #CitiOpen pic.twitter.com/g577RqPykF

This is literally *every* match now when he’s putting officials and fans in *physical* danger.

 

 

The pay out difference is absolutely ridiculous!  Outside of match play, there's no reason for women to even go to this event!

 

 

 

Sabalenka with the drive-by handshake. Granted, she made the final, which is better than her other results this year, but what a difference a year makes. Last year, this time, she was thought to be the next big sensation. She could still get it together, but what a flameout in 2019.

Good grief - both Keys and Stephens are now losing to people they should not be losing to.  For both it's like their careers are going downhill fast.  It's painful to watch.  

 

And Kyrgios is just a joke now.  He was yelling at the chair umpire last night for a white towel.  hahahahaha.  Why is it up to the chair umpire to get you a towel?  Aren't players responsible for bringing their own equipment?  Bring your own damned towel if you don't like the tournament towel.  Seriously?  And you could hear all the f-bombs and it took the chair awhile to give him a violation.  If Serena acted like that..............and they just let him get away with it.  That and his constantly quick serving between points, and it's like he tries to see how fast he can go to get a reaction from the other player.  So childish.

Keys quickly walked off the court crying.  Not sure what Stephens is doing but she is not living up to her potential at all.  

 

Super happy a YouTube channel is covering these tournies!!!!  

So CSN beats Venus and then retires in the next match with a hip injury? Damn.

 

There’s been a lot of talk about the struggles of the all-American US Open semifinalists from two years ago: Sloane/Venus and Coco/Madison. All of them are struggling with injuries or other things.

 

Apparently, Naomi Osaka reclaims World No. 1.

 

Bibi “Biggest Drama Queen Ever” Andreescu beat Pliskova and plays Kenin in the semis.

 

Interesting stat about the all-Russian men’s semi:

 

Tsitsipas not defending his final and Zverev losing to Khachanov means Nishikori is back in the top five.

 

Serena/Naomi tonight...

So happy Bianca is back.  Quickly became a fave!
