@Rancid-Schnitzel said in Tennis:
So this will again stir up the debate about who is the greatest male tennis player of all time
Novak Djokovic wins the US Open for his 24th Grand Slam title
He's an absolute penis but unquestionably the GOAT IMHO. He'd like have another 2-3 slams if not for Covid.
Haven't really followed tennis, so I don't know if he is a penis. But since he bucked the Covid narrative I'm in his camp. Perhaps should be talking about 25 or 26.

First NZ woman to win any GS title. I didn't even know who she was until she played and beat Leyla Fernandez in an earlier round
A corrector!

The top players are like supermen these days. Great win for Dinner, because Alcaraz is a freak who is so tough to beat
Carlos is still very tactically naive. Sinner seems to have the game to push him, for now.
He had an amazing GS record though. Comes through most of the time when it matters most

“ winning 3-6, 6-1, 10-4 in one hour, 20 minutes”
The old “win by 6” rule in play for the 3rd set eh?

No. In non-GS tournament play there is no third set in doubles, they play a super tie breaker first to 10 wins

Djokovic out in third round. Popyrin prevails 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4
2002 the last year none of the 'big three' (Nadal, Djokovic, Federer) won a grand slam.
Fourth seed Alexander Zverev has lost the first set in his third round match currently in progress.
Just gone midnight in New York and Women's second seed Aryna Sabalenka has just started her third round match.

Sabalenka wins, but a very swingy second set - she won three straight games to be 0-3 up, then dropped 5 straight games to be trailing 5-3 only to win 4 on the bounce to close out the title in straight sets. I wonder how often you win 5 straight games but still go down in straight sets?

Good on her, after a pretty trying year. Pegula fought hard, but she strikes me as being a bit of a Wosniacki type player; super solid and consistent which accounts for the vast majority of players on tour, but lacking the killer shot to take her to the next level. She had a good tourney and should take a lot of positives away. Despite losing the final she pushed Sabalenka close and served for the second set
