when I said it, I didnt see whom he was playing in the first round.. just thought he would do well. when I relized it was Novak, the damage was done.

on this court, speed is more important than power.. DeMinaur has that. we shall see,

Holger Rune has won 2 matches at the US Open in 5 years - he's one of those Europeans that doesn't play well in New York.

Rune actually played well against Struff. Struff played out of his mind in the fifth set and continued that form against Tiafoe.

Once again, nothing has happened yet in a slam men's draw all the way to the semis. The first relevant match takes place Friday afternoon and the second relevant match will be Sunday's final.

Greatness is great, but it is not good for my interest on the first 11 days.

Both the men’s and women’s matches have been largely uncompetitive from the R16 on, including the doubles—it’s been a pretty boring second week all around.

After the semis MTF votes Alcaraz wins (41 votes vs 28 for Sinner).
