Women's Draw
Men's Draw
Some interesting first round matches!
Hope it's a good tournament, with no limitations on crowd size there should be a great atmosphere.
Absolute magic. Between Fernandez, Emma Raducanu, and Carlos Alcatraz the teenagers are a breath of fresh air. They have zero fear and they are just a joy to watch.
Some winners being hit by both players.
It is a tough watch because it is like Osaka just wants to get out of there. Taking no time between serves just rushing through the game.
4-2 to Fernandez in the third set.
i was going to say Naomi osaka hasn’t played great. The repeated racket smashing needs to be called.
Osaka looks to be getting back on track in her last service game.
It has been car crash stuff from Osaka last few games. The umpire being a bit lenient with her after the racket throwing.
Osaka smashes her racquet, gets a warning. Does it again in the next point and but no point penalty. Maybe Hughes let it go cause she was already dismantling enough anyway, but that really merited a penalty. Osaka loudly booed by the crowd.
Anyway, final set here we go.
Video and transcript of Tsitsipas post-match press conference
Fairly open and honest in fairness
what a match,Tsitsipas badly advised as he has all the ingredients to be a crowd favourite.He was beaten early in wimbledon so similiar to Zverez findng majors tougher than normal tourneys.Seem to be less challenges than previously or maybe it was just tonites match.
Wow, what a match and what a win. Alcaraz could be a real star.
I'd be surprised if we don't see some changes in Tsitsipas after this tournament. He's too young to have this chip on his shoulder and have stadiums of fans cheering against him. Entirely self inflicted too.
Well, that was some performance.
I guess the crowd were partly for the underdog, but also partly against Tsitsipas. Maybe he'll learn from that. Like most players, he'd probably prefer to have the crowd on his side rather than against him.
What a set of tennis after the forth set. The crowd were amazing in that final set.
Told ye this fooker was special
What a match
same court and surface last year
changed in 2020
Amazing that Alcaraz is staying in it here with a WTA serve
Medvedev is looking in serious form....I don't give Evans a chance really I'm next round. Bound to be wrecked after that five setter.
The increase in court speed this year is really noticeable, Players are able to hit winners more easily than in previous years, or at least that's how it seems to me. All for the best.
Well they're probably not exactly thrilled with him either given the domestic violence allegations.
Is Zverev the only 1 of the top 4 that the Flushing Meadows supporters don't have it in for?
Angie toughs it out 6-3 in the the third. She saved 3 break points at 2-3, and broke on her fourth break point the next game. Sloane just didn't have anything left. Angie's reward is likely a match with Osaka.
Alcaraz still looks to have some fight in him, even with that back trouble.
Alcaraz's ability to serve is compromised
not going to be able to compete here
That first set was a thing of beauty though
Might watch it again
Will be seeing him around in the coming years
The crowd are getting a bit obnoxious with Tsitsipas imo. Would love to seem him go Medvedev on them but don't think think he has it in him really.
Tsitsipas was back very quickly
Must have only wiped once
He's got a haircut to match. As Grandpa Simpson said "now there's a haircut you could set your watch to!"
Well, well, well ... from a double-break down, Alcaraz takes the third set in a breaker.
Meanwhile, Kerber and Stephens are in a final set.
Take that Tsitsipas ya wanker 😎 Don't even care if Alcaraz ends up losing this, love watching Tsitsipas being made to squirm, and with the crowd against him.
Evans is through!
First time to make the 4th round.
Ah class!
comes back from 5-2 to takes the tie-breaker and third set
Tsits called for coaching violation, double faults point after
Tsits gone off for a change now - crowd onto him
Alcaraz backhand now hitting the winners along with forehand drop shots
Quality has dropped off bigtime here but great tension
Tsits puts it into the net for 6-5 lead
Crowd loving this match
Alcaraz showing bottle to try to come back into in the 3rd
one break back to 3-5
some touch for those drop shot
Savage - 2 breaks in a row
to 5-5
Come on Alcaraz
Tsitsipas annoying with his aggressive and too frequent shouting after a point.
