2021 US Open

wow ..big hold. long way back now.

At least it will be an early night.

Double break, that's it surely.

I wonder what makes the USO the most "open" of the slams in the Big 3 era? All the one-time slam winners in the past 15-16 years have won their slam here: Delpo, Cilic and Thiem. Murray and Wawrinka have won here as well. Medvedev to join them in the next 30 minutes,

Sound gone, no Timmy...I am happy enough with that Prime!

US crowd letting themselves down

3 DFs when serving for the title. breaks himself, with a little help from the crowd.

Crazy stuff from crowd to do that to Med

What. how does that makes sense.

Djokovic holds the other 3

Well, the last few games were dramatic, but overall it didn't reach the heights of the women's final.

Anyway, I think Djokovic is still odds-on on to get to 21 first, and could still end up with more than that.

Classless American fans, as always. Delighted for Medvedev, he's deserved one. I would have liked Novak to do it because I'm not sure when the next time, if I ever will, see it happen.

Still have Novak favourite for AO.

Well done Medvedev, its nice to see aggressive tennis win out for a change.

Djokovic went to the well too many times this year, that grinding style of play takes its toll.

Medvedev fully capitalised and played aggressively and finished the job unlike Tsipitas in Paris.

Greatest fans in the world. Oh the irony.

Feel a bit sorry for Djokovic seeing him in tears.

Must have been huge pressure on him, very professional through the ridiculous amounts of photos taken afterwards.

Will he try to alter his game and play more aggressively to shorten points as he gets older like Federer I wonder.

Indeed, his race might well be run and age catches up eventually. Thought there was a touch of that on the podium in his post match address to the crowd, a realisation that his ability to dominate is fading. As for smashing the racquet during the match and the tears etc., put that down to the gamesmanship that he's indulged in over recent years. Thankfully Medvedev was strong enough to ignore that.

I picked Medvedv to win....woke up this morning quite happy....Nole is just not as quick around the court as he used to be

Zverev biggest problem has been his flakiness and we saw in the US open that hasn't changed 5 setters vs 3 are a much different beast.

Medvedev definitely has the game but you also sense they'll.be a lull from winning his first GS. The young pretenders really haven't shown anything as GS level to make me thing they could beat Novak.

Given his age, it's Novak's route in GS is what will decide his outcome. In a one off 5 setter Novak is still a cut above everyone else. But if you throw in a lot of 4 setters and one big 5 setter on route then it's a different beast. I think how he realises that and adapts will be interesting.

I was checking Twitter at lunchtime and unfortunately Emma Raducanus win which has gotten mostly positive reaction is being used by both left and right wing people to justify their point of view of Britain. It’s ridiculous really.
