I'm taking Coco. To get to the final, she'd most likely have to slay the dragon again in Swiatek. Plus, getting her in the QF will mean not having to play Swiatek and Sabalenka back to back.

I think whoever wins the Coco/Swiatek match will probably win the US Open. But I feel that the Billie Jean King Tennis Center is the most fitting place for Coco to break through, especially with this being the 50th anniversary of BJK's victory in the Battle of the Sexes.

If Saba can watch her margins I will take Saba, she has a bigger serve than Coco and is stronger off both wings, actually Saba has got a good draw, also again she is in the position of being the No 1 player at the USO, she has a lot to play for, though the pressure may get to her, her game suits the HC, like we saw at the AO.Coco cannot afford to play defensive tennis, at times she drifts back into being too defensive, also she has to go her for her serve, and believe in it more, though under Gilbert she has, one of the reasons she defeated Swiatek, though she also has to keep that up always, especially on a HC

The days of Vika wearing shorts have gone, she used to look good in them, though the green short suit she had on today in her match, just dosent suit her at all
Vika through in SS.
Watching Iga match, I dont get her half blue and half black combo?

Help me, if she loses again in the 1st rd of a GS she really needs big changes in her team and also needs to find a sport physico

Maria Sakkari No 8th seed defeated in SS by R.Masarova 64 64
That is 3 consecutive majors she has lost this year????????? in the 1st round

Menawhile Iga doing Iga things 1st set a bagel to Peterson
Iga still having some trouble with her serve, I feel it is her ball toss, her serve has been up and down this year to me.
Iga also having trouble when players go hard, and flat into her fhand wing,especially on a HC, she dosent have the time to adjust, a way of getting UFE from her.

Azarenka and Townsend both through in straights.

That's a good start for Townsend,and Sakkari 's problems continue.I think it's time to say ciao to her coach.

I’d love to have seen Iga play Serena in her prime. Me thinks Iga would not have been handing out bagels.

Serena in her prime would be too strong for Iga I feel, agree Iga would not be handing out bagels

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga through 60 61, though I still done like that ball toss,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Another match I feel also could be an upset is Rybakina (4) vs Kostyuk, Rybakina injured her shoulder in Montreal, retired in Cinncy, hopefully it is okay, though this is a hard first up match for her, as Kostyuk is a tricky player

Hello no..Serena had a very intelligent tennis mind,and was a very smart player that never got enough credit for outsmarting her opponents,and good example was the match against Azarenka in Madrid,countless times against Kim,and then when she beat Henin in Miami.People talk about her serve,to me her will to win was the greatest attribute.

Banshee through in straights including a donut.

Seems to be the order of the day so far in the womens matches
Muchova also handed out a bagel to Hunter
Saville handed out a bagel to the Amercian youngster Ngounoue, who has a good variety in her game, junior GS champion, one to watch down the track

She is dialed in today..but the errors are too much.She is playing a player who was once caught doping.
