US Open [Women], 2022 - Grand Slam

Hmmm … at first I wanted Venus and Serena to do really well in doubles, because I thought Serena was going to lose early (1st or 2nd round) in singles. But now that she’s into the 3rd round, I’m kinda hoping they lose the doubles match tonight.

Graf did that a couple times (1 W, 1 USO) in doubles when partnering with Martina Navratilova! Hard to believe she'd bail saying "I'm in the 3rd round and need my rest!" Rude AF IMO! Just add another * to her record when it comes to character!

What a Choke Job from Kanepi served for the match twice and now has lost the match in 3 sets to Sabalenka 26 76 (8) 64

But what about Vee?

It was a huge choke job. She had so many chances. She doesn't need to get slapped because she is slapping herself.

No 2 seeds in the doubles have been defeated by Fernandez/ Saville d Gauff/Pegula 36 75 76 (5)

But what about Vee?

I think Serena can handle a bit of doubles as practice, and she'll keep playing for V, for sure.

Serena is the 'boss' as Vee has said many times over the years, she was the one that decided to ask for a wc this year at the USO

Now they can focus on making the finals in singles.

It is Olympia's 5th Birthday today, I am certain she will be in the stands to watch her mum Serena tonight in the doubles match

Serena said they don't celebrate birthdays asJehovah's witnesses.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena said they don't celebrate birthdays because of being Jehovah's witness.

Yes you are right I forgot about them being Jenovah witness's

 

[Hailz]

@MargaretMcAleer I know you are really happy having Pam Shriver commentating the Serena & Venus doubles match.

That could be a blessing in disguise, they have won doubles titles this year

 

[Hailz]

I don't think I could ever be a Jehovah's Witness then. I like birthday parties too much. Even though my birthday is on New Years Eve and there is a celebration anyway it is still extra special.

 

[Moxie]

I'm sure it has been said, but to say again: has there ever been a doubles match in Prime Time at the USO?

When you get to my age they are special , because I am still around and kicking lol!

You know why Pam Dribble Shiver won lots of doubles titles with Martina N, so she is a so called doubles specialist and a dribbler by nature Gosh I didnt realize Pam and Martina won 79 doubles titles, just looked it up, 20 of them were GS doubles titles

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh no they have switched to I Cant Help Myself Talking Mary Carillo............

 

[tossip]

I wonder if Mary Carillo's husband wears 'Eye Muffs' at home!

She is married?I thought she was from the rainbow tribe..

How many overall titles than did Martina win between singles and doubles? It had to be a ton of them.
