Re: US Open Tennis

With you all the way. No idea if you’re playing a 90 min straight setter or a 5 hour physical and mental killer. Due to our welsh football history with the Scots I’ve never been a massive fan of anything Scottish - but won’t have a bad word said about Andy Murray. A kid from dunblane becoming the no. 1 men’s tennis player in the world. Wow.

Totally agree :thumbup:

Big upset in Round 2 with third seed Carlos Alcaraz losing in straight sets. Naomi Osaka out early too.

Meanwhile the top seed Sinner pissed hot.

Could be the heat, I’d imagine there’s tablets he can take to cool his urine.

He should definitely consult with a doctor, but drinking ice-cold water may help in the short term.

There was nothing lucky about it. She won a Grand Slam. It was an incredible achievement. Was it freaky? Hell yeah! They weren’t forced to sponsor her. They didn’t do it out of kindness.

Amazing tennis player . How many tournaments has she won before or after her Grand Slam , I mean any tournament , I cant keep count.

The other day she was playing in round one or two of a tournament and BEAT, yes beat a top ten player for the first time in her career.
She has now repeated that feat twice, yes twice, in her whole career.
She wont win the USA open this year as she has once again been eliminated in round one.
Of course a true Brit , born in Toronto to a Romanian father , Chinese mum.

Its not every day we are lucky enough to have such a talent amongst our ranks.

Draper wins the first set .

Is the tournament wide open after the demise of Alcaraz and Djokovic ?

Yes. Both used an enormous amount of mental energy during their Olympics run and both targeted a gold medal. I now think it’s over for Djokovic winning another Slam. Time stops for no man and there are too many younger players who will beat him over 5 sets.

Davies Cup GB tennis looking interesting though which not many people were optimistic about after the decline of Murray.

Re: US Open Tennis

Jack Draper through comfortably to the last 8 in straight sets. What has surprised me is the lack of appreciation from the fans there. I thought they always said that the New York crowds were very enthusiastic but that isn’t the feeling I’ve got watching a few matches the last week. They’ve been very quiet.

Tremendous performance , Machac looked very dangerous first few games .
I had to switch it off after the result . Commentators were getting ridiculous , I am sure Draper could fly solo to the moon whilst beating everyone left in the tournament according to them.

To not drop a set getting to last 8 is incredible. Sometimes being fearless with no expectations and having talent can go a long way, like Emma Rad had a few years back. She can’t seem to get back to that level of freedom, she might never. Tennis is madly psychological

Just caught the last couple of games. Looking really strong and confident. Let's hope he can go all the way.
