Upset Corner - US Open 2015 Edition

[GameSetAndMath]

This is your one-stop to discuss upsets. You may discuss upsets that are projected, that are brewing and that has already happened. I won't define what qualifies as an upset and let you be judge of it.
What upsets are you expecting on day 1 to begin with?

I am expecting the following first round upsets.

1. Sloane to be taken out by Coco
2. Genie to be taken out by Riske
3. Kuzzie to be taken out by Kristina.

Ana and Venus have tough matches, but I think they will come through in the end.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Ana down a set to Pocket Rocket! Upset brewing right in the opening match of Ashe.

 

[kskate2]

Cibby takes the opener 6-3 over Ana. I smell an upset on Ashe

 

[GameSetAndMath]

PR a break up over Ana in second set (and I am stuck at work).

 

[ToffeeAlex]

Not sure Genie being knocked out would even be an upset anymore

 

[the AntiPusher]

Cibky over Ana

 

[Moose]

Yea, I mentioned Domi over Ana a good possibility in another thread. I also think Jelena is poised for a knockout as well, and if Puig plays to her abilities, I think Venus is in trouble.

 

[kskate2]

Cibby serving for it at 5-3

 

[Moose]

Cibby serving for it at 5-3

Sadly, this seemed almost too easy to call, given she's a past #1, past Slam champ.

Ana used to love the big stage. I wonder what happened.

Cibby is no slouch on the hardcourts...ask pova and Aga.

Cibby serving for it at 5-3

Ana used to love the big stage. I wonder what happened.

I think the serve trouble has affected her confidence. She's terribly inconsistent.

 

[kskate2]

And Sveta (30 seed) is taken out by Kristina

And Sveta (30 seed) is taken out by Kristina

Sveta is maddening..:cry..she is very talented and USA Open used to be her hunting ground.She used to reach the later rounds of this event battling against Justine...

 

[kskate2]

Alert: USO series winner, Pliskova down a set
JJ on serve in the decider 2-3

 

[tossip]

I hope Vee will get out of this match....

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Boy, Pliskova is bleeding (not literally). Down a set and 0-4 in 2nd.

This is why you should not play all four events before USO and win the USO Series.

 

[kskate2]

5-0 now and JJ down 5-2

 

[GameSetAndMath]

CSN down a set, but up a break in 2nd against an unknown ova.

 

[kskate2]

And Pliskova is gone 6-1 in the 2nd

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Pliskova done to death.
