Good to see FoxNews is covering US Open

(I mean, to be fair, they did "try" for a few minutes to pay homage to Serena and it was awkward at best)

I would cut her some slack...she has had bouts of depression and so on..not that I know her personally or anything but from what the media reports..she will be back..

[Suliso]

Maybe she will. I'm just stating her record for this year...

I am not sure if she will be back.
Her mental health issues are well known; she has been open about it. But, if on top of that, she is losing, I don't know how her confidence can rebound. I would gather it would become a sort of vicious circle: you lose, it does not feel good, you have to deal with that, you go out there again, you lose, repeat.
I hope not. With Serena out, the WTA needs Naomi as an icon. But this is no longer a matter of a few bad weeks. She has been affected by all this for over a year now.

I don't think her mental health is a dealbreaker. Lots of people (most people?) struggle with it and learn to deal, and she has said she's getting help now. But she might evolve away from tennis. Her heart might not be in it as much. She obviously has other interests and now opportunities and probably a better sense of the impact she can make. She's also in a growth period of her life where a lot of things change. Who knows. But I don't think the depression is necessarily an issue. Maybe but not necessarily.

I agree that it's not just a few weeks. She's in a different phase of her career now. She has the game and the physicality. I think the big issue is what she wants. And maybe she's working on figuring it out. There's nothing wrong with this, totally nonjudgmental about it. I really hope she wants that champion's career because tennis will be better for it.

Serena hitting an actual smash from the baseline! Most people hit a forehand..which is pathetic...Serena showing how it is done .

Noskova is very impressive...awesome composure...

[ashkor87]

Even in defeat, Badosa remains queen of tiebreaks .bad loss, though...
