Serena advanced the other night, it was a cool spectacle, her draw is so bad it's like they wanted to celebrate knowing her next match would be against the #2 seed and it might be her last major singles win ever.

Halep out, Osaka out (although that means Collins advanced), Venus out, Jack Sock out (was playing well until injury), Tsitsipas out, Taylor Fritz out, Radunacu out, Murray in... crazy start

Serena with the surprise upset win, nice! I honestly didn't think she'd win, and then she broke Kontaveit three times in the 3rd set, that was nuts

Yeh I'm really enjoying the US Open so far, the atmosphere is just so electric. I wish the next tennis game (hopefully Top Spin 5) could capture something like this.

and just like that, Serena's run is over

total credit to her opponent, I've never even heard of her. Unranked, unseeded, and not young enough to be considered an up an comer, she played the match of her life to knock out the GOAT

definitely wasn't a fluke win, she earned it. 3 hours and 5 minutes is the longest US Open match of Serena's entire career, the 2nd set was 83 minutes alone, the final game of the 3rd set had 8 deuces, they battled

In other news, Coco is only 18? That's crazy, she's been a pro for 4 years. Kinda funny she's the youngest to reach the round of 16 in all 4 majors since... Venus

I don't know about just like that. The woman is 40 years old now. Yes she is the greatest woman to play tennis.

This Alcaraz/Sinner match is insane, it's been 4 and a half hours and the 5th set hasn't even started yet

[l3ulvl]

2nd longest match in US Open history, Alcaraz is gonna be a star


longest match in 30 years
