    This US Open has been great so far. A lot of intense matchups. Djokovic is probably gonna end up winning the one he's playing now, but it's 1 set each and not a walk in the park for Novak. Lots of hard fought rallies.

    But the big question is, does he have the bladder?

    The mens side is incredibly boring to watch, and there are almost no big names worth rooting for. Djokovic is not all that likable, and neither are any of his closest competitors like Tsit, Medvedev, Zverev, etc.

    There's a couple second/third tier players that are likable (Berrettini, Felix, to name a couple), but none that can compete with Novak.

    I miss the days when most of the top mens players were likable - Federer, Nadal, Del Potro, Murray, Wawrinka, etc.

    The women's draw has been way more entertaining to watch, and most of aren't aren't actively unlikable.

    So true.
    I like some of the youngsters a bit more, Dennis Shapovalov I enjoyed at Wimbledon.
    Also the promising American Sebastian Korda, but didn't he go out in round 1 or something at the U.S?

    Stoked that terrestrial TV has reached a deal with Amazon so we can watch the Women's Final tonight.

    I think both are delightful and joyful so I just want a good tight 3 setter.

    But I think I'll pull for Fernandez! I've seen more of her matches this tournament, she's beaten all of these highly ranked stars, she has a great family story, and she just looks like she's having so much fun out there.

    You?

    She's very likeable isn't she.
    I've seen a lot wish that both could win.

    Same. I do think Emma has a better game and fresher legs, so I would expect her to take this one, but I just want them both to do well. No blowouts!

    You're getting your wish.
    This first set is a battle, so intense.

    Was a great match, happy for both of them. Emma's a beast. Leylah's speech and mention of 9/11 and NYC got me teary eyed for sure.

    Me too.
    Such a great standard of tennis and the way they conducted themselves.
    Hope they go on to develop a great rivalry. Leylah deserves success too.

    Djokovic breaking a racket in frustration down a set after losing some break points.

    After watching this match I might come to like Medvedev!
