I fear the nastiness that would come Emma or Leylah’s way if they won a Slam so young in this day and age, but they seem likable, confident, and well-adjusted (for now). It would be a great story if either won. I don’t expect it, but it would be cool.

Botic being the first player to take a set off Medvedev this USO is hilarious! Tennis is comedy.

Botic vdZ is basically offering a more consistent elite player a roadmap of beating Meddy here.

I'm happily surprised - I don't know whether it will hold or not, but I'm kind of shocked that Fernandez is in this match, just checked the score.  I really thought she would get blown off the court.

Svitolina has made some adjustments in this second set. Will be interesting to see what happens if this goes to a decider.

However this shakes out, I admire the guts of these young women. They’re not getting flustered out there.

They’re just going about their business. Very professional.

This girl is incredible. What wheels, what anticipation.

So tired of Svitolina screaming and screeching. Glad she lost. She'll never win a major nor her husband.

And the Fernandez story continues.

I’m sorry but my heart can’t take these close matches. The most compelling Major tournament in recent memory.

 

Leylah is now No. 36 in the live rankings.

Wow wow wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Svits plays 37 250 tournies a year and it keeps her in the top 10.

Oh my god, it’s 5-5 in the tiebreak and Leylah hits the forehand winner that hit the net to get to a match point. 😮 My heart was pounding!!  Throughout periods of the match, she looked so tired but she was able to pull it together to finish off the match.  So happy for her.  What a fantastic match to watch. 

Delpo!

DelPo on now. Says if everything goes well he will be back in 2022.

He’s so endearing. Just his smile and his accent.

Garbiñe must be fuming watching this match.

The night session on Ashe was a bummer: Krejcikova basically listless and Alcaraz retiring.

Tonight sucked!!!
