2025 US Open

Mannarino - Shelton was a pretty good watch last night before Shelton had to withdraw injured.

That was a really exciting and intense tiebreak between Krejčíková and Townsend.

Very good win for Osaka over Gauff!

I don't think Osaka even played anywhere near her best. She was just way too solid for Gauff.

Muchova is currently 4-1 up on Kostyuk in the 3rd set, despite having had an MTO for a back injury. This might be the only one of the six singles matches in the day session that doesn't get done in straight sets. Musetti is giving Munar a good thrashing in the last men's match of the day.

She wasn't even as bad as in her first two matches. Her second round match against Vekic was so error-strewn that neither the crowd nor the commentators knew what to make of it. If Vekic hadn't been hampered by arm injury, she would probably have won.

Sinner and Bublik has just starte, and Sinner broke the very first game. I might stay awake for the first set, but not for much longer after that.

First set to Sinner in just 25 minutes. Bublik was reduced to trying an underarm serve there, but to no avail. Sinner obviously has a point to prove after Bublik beat him on the grass in Halle back in June. I'd say this might be over by 2am, even if Bublik makes it more of contest.

6-1 6-1 in 52 minutes.

6-1 6-1 6-1 in 1 hour 22 minutes. Nothing to say really …

… except Sinner broke 8 times, and had break points in 2 of Bublik's other 3 service games. The last set should probably have been 6-0.

There's an enormous crowd on Armstrong watching the women's doubles. Next up is there is the blockbuster match-up of Siniakova and Townsend vs Fernandez and Venus Williams.

Vondrousova has withdrawn, giving a walkover to Sabalenka. Djokovic vs Fritz is the only match remaining in the night session on Ashe.

Mens tennis is really in the doldrums at the moment. With the exception of Sinner and Alcaraz, this is the weakest top 10 I can recall in living memory. Djokovic is now 38, playing at probably 50-60% of his peak level and still pretty much coasting to Grand Slam semi finals, the craziest part is he is'nt even playing warm up events like Toronto, Cincinatti and this is his first tournament since Wimbledon and he still takes out the likes of Fritz every time he plays him.

When you compare Men's tennis now to what it was from 2008 - 2016 it really is so stark. There are just so few matches or rivalries to get excited about because its just so hard to see anyone causing upsets against the top two right now. Djokovic has won 4 of his last 5 matches against Alcaraz, which probably also speaks to how incredible Novak is that he has a winning record against such a good player despite being so far off his own peak. Sinner has a cake walk to the final in the other half of the draw. Despite Djokovics good record against Alcaraz and beating him at Australian open this year, I can see Alcaraz winning this time in straight sets.

I just wish there was at least 1 or 2 other really good players that could at least make things slightly unpredictable.
