    What odds would you have got on a US Open women's final between Fernandez and Raducanu?

    How cool. Watched both the semis. In the first I was just waiting for Fernandez to get overpowered but too good.

    Really looking forward to the final.

    What's great to see is the joy these two are playing with. Exuberance of youth?

      Djoker is one game away from a finals berth. Pushed to 5 by Zverev but he's up 5-0. Showing his greatness again

            The Joker will end up the GOAT after this match (if he isn't already). Unbelievable player especially when you take into account the players he's had to beat to get win his GS titles.

              The top 3 players in the history of the game all playing each other at or near their peak. And he's come out on top. Unbelievable

                  He is definitely a polarising figure. And I don't like his anti vaxx stand. But on court you have to admire his skill. His anticipation, and his shot making ability is superb

                        Mate of mine at work is a big tennis fan - he plays inter-club tennis.

                        Yeah, he doesn't like Djokovic, either.

                          His need to be liked is a turn off.

                          But extraordinary player.

                          Hard to speak about GOAT without acknowledging changes in game:

                          Composite racquets/hybrid strings/slowed down hardcourts/less grass.

                          Would have had his work cut out against Borg with a wooden racquet on clay!

                          But second slam would objectively make his claims near impossible to ignore.

                              Gonna hop on the British bandwagon for the women’s final.

                              Hmmm. She takes inspiration from Tim Henman. That is asking for trouble…

                                    Hmmm. She takes inspiration from Tim Henman. That is asking for trouble…

                                    TBF, it seemed to work for Andy Murray.

                                      Fucking great match

                                      On a knife edge

                                      Both brought their A game

                                      Both going for it

                                        That’s the way to win a set

                                        She Who Dares, Wins

                                          Compared to the absolute airhead bimbos that make it to the hawt thread, I’d prefer someone who can really play tennis.

                                          1-0 to the Brit.

                                          Damn shame it’s 3 and not 5 sets.
