US Open [Women], 2021 - Grand Slam

[MargaretMcAleer]

Upset alert! This will be a slugfest. Both hit the cover off the ball.

Yep,even though Sabalenka leads their H2H 2-0....Collins has hit good form this Summer

Osaka had a walkover to the next rd as her opponent Danilovic was suffering with a 'viral illness'

Muguruza who had lost all of her 3 prior matches with Petkovic,finally wins 64 62,Garbine moves into the 3rd rd,only the second time in her career at USO.
Garbine will play Azarenka in the 3rd rd.

Funny, I read "undisclosed injury" in terms of Danilovic, but there does seem to be a stomach virus going around. Seb Korda maybe had it, and Andreescu was ill last night with stomach. Anyway, point was made that Naomi needs matches, so the w/o may not help her at all. Or maybe chill time does. We'll see. Glad to see Mugu get through. (Liked the kits of both Petco and Garbiñe, btw.)

Garbine plays Azarenka next match so it does not get any easier for her,this is not Garbine's favored GS,she will need to be 'on song' to defeat Azarenka.
BTW with a 'viral illness it also can upset the stomach area in some cases.There were rumors she had contacted COVID,which were untrue.

Just tuning into Coco vs Sloane match which has just started on Ashe

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Help Me ....Carillo one of the commentators on this match Shoot Me Now........

Both ladies serving well,Sloane directing her shots up the middle,also to Coco's fhand which is not best wing,
Sloane needs to return Coco's serve better,though I am loving Sloane's footwork at present,she needs to keep this up,.sometimes she gets lazy and her feet are not in the correct position.
Sloane with good fhand winners breaks Coco and will serve for the 1st set 5-4...I am really enjoying this match
Sloane unleashes some huge fhands and wins the 1st set 64

Coco blinked at 4-4. Scone breaks, holds and takes the opener

That was all it took. Somehow I think (or hope?) this will go 3.

Patrick on ESPN said that he doesn't know if Serena wants another year or if she is done?
Sometimes I think he needs to close his mouth....as loose lips sinks ships

I think Sloane played the 'big points' better and her fhand is on fire at present.

So much palaver to fill air time. Just ignore.

That’s not what I heard him say. I thought He said he didn’t know if she wanted to play 1 more year or 2 more. Said they would sit down after the Open and discuss

Gauff is all over the place. Stephens is playing with calm.

Coco broken again. 3-2. This could be over quickly and then we’ll have the Potty King

Okay I just read that tweet from ESPN maybe they did not expand on what he said.

My TV says that Sloane's average FH speed is best of everyone who has played on Ashe so far, male or female.

Yikes...even with the roof, everyone is getting wet in Ashe! Edit: maybe mostly on Armstrong, but it is raining sideways here. Brutal storm.

I realized that and edited. But Ashe is open at the upper tiers, though not enough to affect the fans, I guess.

I watched the whole interview. Chris tried to trap him but he didn’t take the bait about Serena or the Potty King
