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.
Not over yet...
Medvedev will be the only man under 25 to hold a slam, I think?
Maybe we should have seen this coming after the losses in Tokyo to Zverev and PCB, and all the sluggish performances here.
Sound gone, no Timmy...I am happy enough with that Prime!
Shocking.
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,
It wil be ironic if the last hurrah of the big three is the very match one of them was trying to make the ultimate history in....
Djokovic's legs are gone here.
At least it will be an early night.
he looks a broken man.
Medvedev is a like a cat on court today.
And Djokovic not moving anything like he usually does - even leaving shots that he'd never leave.
That's it.
It's over.
Double-break.
Novak is missing chances I haven't really seen him miss in a long time.
wow ..big hold. long way back now.
Wow, that's outrageous. All my disappointment has been converted to anger on hearing it! I've had to hold my nose watching the gaudy American ceremonies and hearing the rowdy crowd shouting during serving motions, and that just tops it all off.
impossible, Djok playing awful awful tennis and a break down in the 3rd ....
it's done
... and Medvedev breaks right at the start of the 3rd set, from 30-0 down.
Going to 5 with Zverev looks like it took too much out of his legs. The crowd actually supporting him must be disorienting too.
Medvedev playing almost flawless on serve, he needs one more break to take the title.
All over !!!
Looks like Emma will be only one making history this weekend.
Djokovic has break point (first one of the set and a break down) and hit a good return off second serve into the backhand corner.
the IT system called it back in the middle of the rally
so Medvedev gets first serve again on the replay
two points later Djokovic smashed his racquet
I still think Djokovic will turn this around and take it in 5.
That 2nd set was not as perfect for Medvedev as the 1st.
If Djokovic can get 1 break it's a different match.
That was a really bad miss by Novak. He had all the time in the world.
was always the worst matchup for Djokovic and Djokovic playing badly.
looks very over.
God, I'm so demoralised I've had to turn it off. I really need to get some perspective! The way Medvedev is playing/serving, this would have been a tight match anyway if Djokovic was landing his first serves and had a low unforced error count. But he hasn't a hope playing as he is. That's what's so demoralising - it's not even competitive.
What happened?
This is over, well done Medvedev ...
I wonder what would be the odds of djkovic going to the Jack's to chill out for 10 mins if he loses this set?
Not a Djokovic fan at all...but I thought he would kick things up a notch after that first set...but Medvedev really not letting him, great to see. Would be brilliant to have a new grand slam winner in the men's.
just started watching, don't let it be a five setter, I need an early night.
Djokovic needs the second set, can't see him winning this from 2 down
Djokovic in serious, serious trouble. He's going to need a comeback to surpass the French Open final turnaround against Tsitsipas, and then some. If he'd taken his break points this set, he might be well into this match, but nothing doing.
Gotta feel he is in big trouble here. Just doesn't seem to have the energy. He will rue all those unnecessary four setters.
