US Open [Women], 2021 - Grand Slam

[kskate2]

I cant stop laughing AP is not going to like this a first rd match is Madison Keys vs Sloane Stephens....oh well that is the draw for you.( this was the women's final in 2017,when Sloane won her GS title).

We already know how this movie will end. Scone will wipe the floor with Keys one dimensional inconsistent ball basher game.

Bottom half of the draw will start first on Monday.

[MargaretMcAleer]

Heck of a match between Sloane and Madison,Sloane to serve for the match 6-5 and broken now in a t/breaker for the 3rd set
Madison had a 5-3 lead in the t/break,though bad UFE,gave the lead back to Sloane.

Sloane Stephens d Madison Keys 63 16 76(7).

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Another withdrawal Johanna Konta withdraws,will be replaced by Kamila Rakhimova

So far, these Nike kits are awful. The ones Scone and Keys were wearing, really bad.

I think we have been saying for year's Nike needs to find new designers,Nike has 'lost the plot'

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I had Kerber as a dangerous player this year at the USO,a previous champion,she lost the 1st set to Yastremska 63
Kerber came through in a tight 3 set match 36 64 76(3)

I thought Gauff looked the better player in the first set, overall, then Linette snuck it out, winning 4 games in a row after a (dodgy?) MTO. Now Coco down a break in the 2nd and in danger. EDIT...by the time I posted this on the correct thread (thanks, @MargaretMcAleer ) Gauff got the break back. Go, Coco!

Agreed on those. I really like the Mugu dress. Perfect for NYC, imo. And Coco's is very fun.

Remember Linette is match fit,just played a warm up tournament a few days ago.

Not so fit, if she took a MTO.
