Going to be a very weird tournament, no Nadal, or Fed.

Paire has tested positive for Covid so he can't play now.

Djokovic has Dzhumhur first up. A real :haha: if he somehow manages not to win this tournament.

Soooooo, Djokovic is defaulted after whacking a line judge with the ball after his serve is broken.

The lineswomen for rolling around and waving for a card :bow:.

The game's gone.

He's not that type of player.

He only had eyes for the advertising boards.

What a way to choke becoming the GOAT.

Zverev the Younger is in to the semi-final having beaten Coric 1-6 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (7-1) 6-3.

McNamara That Ghost...

Thiem v Zverev in the men's final. :popcorn:

Finally Next Gen will have a Slam winner!

Azarenka v Osaka in the women's final.

McNamara That Ghost...
12-09-2020, 10:12 PM
Osaka wins 1-6 6-3 6-3 for her third Slam win!

McNamara That Ghost...
13-09-2020, 09:21 PM
Zverev is giving Thiem a battering.

6-2 and set point.

McNamara That Ghost...
13-09-2020, 09:22 PM
Thiem holds, Zverev to serve it out.

McNamara That Ghost...
13-09-2020, 09:29 PM
Thiem gets one break back.

McNamara That Ghost...
13-09-2020, 09:34 PM
Thiem scratches up the court, following a drop volley from Zverev. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
13-09-2020, 09:35 PM
Set point for Zverev.

McNamara That Ghost...
13-09-2020, 09:36 PM
Zverev takes the second set 6-4! :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
13-09-2020, 09:49 PM
Zverev breaks and leads 2-1 in the third set!

Master Splinter
13-09-2020, 09:57 PM
Thiem must be injured because otherwise this inept performance makes no sense.

Fair play to Zverev for not dropping his level though.

McNamara That Ghost...
13-09-2020, 10:03 PM
Thiem broke back. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
13-09-2020, 10:29 PM
Thiem takes the third set 6-4.

Master Splinter
13-09-2020, 11:12 PM
Thiem takes the fourth set 6-3.

He finally woke up.

McNamara That Ghost...
13-09-2020, 11:15 PM
And Thiem breaks in the fifth. Oh dear.

Master Splinter
13-09-2020, 11:15 PM
Thiem breaks instantly in the fifth!

Zverev :rose:.

Master Splinter
13-09-2020, 11:19 PM
Zverev breaks back straight away. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
13-09-2020, 11:19 PM
Zverev breaks back! Thiem double faults.

Amazing shot on the run to get the break point opportunity though.

Master Splinter
13-09-2020, 11:50 PM
Zverev breaks and is serving for the match!

Master Splinter
13-09-2020, 11:53 PM
Zverev gives the break straight back with some limp errors.

That was a choke.

5-4.

Master Splinter
13-09-2020, 11:59 PM
Two incredible forehands from Thiem levels it up at 5-5.

Master Splinter
14-09-2020, 12:03 AM
This fifth seth has made up for some of the pubbery earlier on.

Master Splinter
14-09-2020, 12:04 AM
Thiem absolutely battering the ball pays off. He breaks and will now serve for the match himself at 6-5!

Master Splinter
14-09-2020, 12:09 AM
Zverev breaks back.

:haha:

No-one wants to win it.

6-6.

Tie-break to decide it.

Master Splinter
14-09-2020, 12:19 AM
Thiem blows two championship points.

Zverev with a 68mph serve. :haha:

Master Splinter

Thiem wins 2-6 4-6 6-4 6-3 7-6 (8-6)!

Well done to Osaka and Thiem.

Although the asterisk is massive for both, just like Liverpool's title.

McNamara That Ghost...
14-09-2020, 02:32 AM
Well done to Thiem, crushing loss for Zverev though.

Now she’s reached the final!

I've watched a few of her games and she is some player! She looks a cut above the rest, if she carries on developing she is going to be one of the dominant players over the next few years. The Canadian girl who has reached the final looks like a great player too and most probably will also be one of the dominant players over the next few years. She has beaten all the top seeds on her way to the final!

Come on Raducanu. :bow:

Against another teenage in Fernandez of Canada in the final. :popcorn:

Djokovic v Medvedev in the men's final.

Djokovic will do THE Grand Slam with this and lead most singles titles.

Fucking animal. This is not Medvedev's first US Open final and if he outperforms how he did against Nadal in the 2019 he'll do it I reckon.

That in itself is very unlikely so I am expecting Djokovic.

Really pleased for Raducanu, she was superb. I think she is going to go on and win multiple grand slams, she didn't drop a single set in the entire tournament!!! Fairytale stuff.

People who have Amazon Prime can also watch Channel 4, you know :p

Anyway, great win. Really pleased for her. Wish I’d watched now although I was really tired last night so not sure I’d have been able to anyway.

It really was a great match, the Beeb has highlights today so that would give you a flavour of the quality of tennis, which was pretty high

Medvedev beats Djokovic convincingly. 6-4 6-4 6-4 to win the US Open and his first Slam!!!

It has been coming for a while this from Medvedev.

Djokovic is denied the Calendar Year Grand Slam and the reign of terror is finally over!

Shame in a way.
I like Djok. He’s been overlooked a bit in the Federer / Nadal era and quietly come up on the rails to become a GOAT contender. This would have sealed it, but he’s still in the conversation.

Mac76

it is a shame but he needs to win one more slam to erase the smug Swiss from the record books
