2017 US Open Final: Madison Keys vs. Sloane Stephens

[Moxie]

Glad for both for getting here.

 

[kskate2]

me too

 

[golds girl]

I actually have Sloane in 3...but I think it might be one of those 6-0, 1-6 first two sets

 

[kskate2]

we've been waiting a long time for the next gen Americans to step up

 

[Moxie]

Chrissy was saying that exactly as you posted. It's good news.

 

[kskate2]

I would have picked Sloane if her 2nd serve wasn't so weak

 

[golds girl]

Definitely more hope for women's tennis, not too sure about men's...

 

[Moxie]

Men's has got a way to go.

 

[kskate2]

yeah. the men's game is where the women's game was about 8 years ago when Roddick was holding down the fort

 

[kskate2]

and we're off. keys serving first

 

[golds girl]

maddy's serve is popping

 

[kskate2]

i thought they used to play this match at night on Sat. what happened to that time slot Mox?

 

[Moxie]

No, afternoon finals for both. Always.

 

[Moxie]

I mean, as long as I can remember.

 

[kskate2]

i think they did play the women's finals on Sat eve when the SF was on Fri afternoon. It used to be in primetime on Sat on CBS

 

[Moxie]

Oh, right, maybe when it was SuperSaturday, and the men's semis were during the day.

 

[Moxie]

But then that would be why.

 

[kskate2]

yeah. i think they restructured the entire tourney a few years ago changing the last 2 rounds

 

[Moxie]

I am surprised they didn't switch the semis and finals to CBS.

 

[golds girl]

I think I chose Sloane because I felt like she'd be playing with house money...not even supposed to be there
