Arena Federer/Nadal/Djokovic Era - Essentially Over

Bye Andy

 

Novak Goldovic vs. el chico de oro in the final

 

Vamos Carlos!

 

I would have called him Novak Oldovic, but there's a 40 year old American in the doubles final.

 

As God intended.

 

Just the best

 

Worth remembering that Murray would still annihilate most tennis players in the world today.

 

This is hardcore Olympic tennis

 

Maybe Djokovic really does play best under pressure. Ever since reaching 24 slams and being recognized as Goat, he hasn't won a slam, but in the Olympics -- which he cared about more than anything else -- he was at his best again. I guess he needs to start picking fights with fans again and get them against him if he wants to win any more slams!

 

the first of the billionaire daughters to make it to a grand slam semifinal. Jessica Pegula's chances to make it this year are I think not as good.

On the men's side, it's hilarious that only after Djokovic and Alcaraz got beat did the number one seed seem like the favorite to win the tournament.

 

I too love Tiafoe which yes for tennis at least is a curse

 

who besides everyone else still in the draw wouldn't love to see Tiafoe win a major? That would be fantastic. So I'm in New York on Sunday and was looking into tickets for the final. After Tiafoe beat Popyrin the ticket resale price for the finals jumped significantly. I think my window of affordability is now officially closed even for the nosebleediest of available seats.

 

He can start here .

 

Another American - Taylor Fritz - into a first major semifinal.

 

Damn why did Dimitrov have to wake up lol

 

Man I wanted Tiafoe to win badly but doesn't mean I wanted Dimitrov to get hurt

 

Tiafoe played great. An American man in a US Open final for the first time since 1894 or thereabouts!

 

Too recent-- more like 1799.

 

I wish it were Tiafoe, but I'm still happy for an American man to be in the final.
