    Same here, I've heard it on most serves so thought it was me.

    These women are so athletic, and the match is so fast paced and aggressive as a result. It's great to watch.

    Raducanu with fairly easy hold in her first game of second set...good sign

    Ferny can whither away in second set, or fight hard, will be interesting to see which.

    Farnandez needs to cut the unforced errors that are creeping upwards

    many are surely there for the tennis but it's New York - some are just going for a day out for one of the big sports days of the year

    expensive ticket prices mean more non-hardcore tennis fans I suppose

    good standard of hitting which is good to see - even when the odd drive volley is over-egged.

    The way in which both can gather themselves to get back from 0-40 down is incredible, but they should be able to do the same to win those break points, at least win one, and break by playing the numbers game.

    at 0-40 you should be just getting ball back, make the other hit a winner, or make a mistake.

    I thought it was closer to out, saw the replay and it was a mile in as margins go.

    Raducanu back in front on serve at 3-2, as "Heart of Glass" takes me back to 1979 ...

    Why does it sound like the ball is clipping the net of the serves? Very annoying.
