I haven't found the gates being too bad for day sessions the last few years, if you arrive about 10 mins after the gates open (and they open at 9:30 am now). I'm more curious if it'll be crazy busy like the middle weekend or less so. I guess depends on how many groundspasses they released.
by Suliso Davidovich Fokina won in record time.
by ti-amie Czech teen Tereza Valentova defeated Lucia Bronzetti 6-3, 3-6, 6-4.
by ti-amie Eala takes the first set 6-3 from Tauson.
by JTContinental Sabalenka already down a break, but just broke back.
by JTContinental Do we have a loser's lounge yet? Cuz we've got a bandwagon down already.
by JTContinental Chris Evert has referred to Rebecca Masarova as "Safarova" multiple times now.
by JTContinental Alexandra Eala comes back from 1-5 in the third set to become the first woman from the Philippines to win a match at a grand slam. It's her 4th top 20 win of the year.
by jazzyg Incredibly, Eala never faced a match point during her comeback. The crowd was roaring for Tauson double faults.
Tauson saved four match points with big, deep hitting before one final unforced error doomed her.

Three of Tauson's shots on MP were on the baseline. She was living on the edge. What a riveting set. Can't believe Tauson didn't close it.

I really really hate the cheering of double faults and errors. It is such a turnoff, no matter who I'm rooting for. I was rooting for Eala and think the crowd negatively impacted Tauson. I know she should be able to take it, but it doesn't happen often, so players are not used to it.
by Owendonovan Why Djokovic isn't killing every one of Tiens 75/80mph second serves is puzzling me.

Why Djokovic isn't killing every one of Tiens 75/80mph second serves is puzzling me.
Lack of match play, or the foot issue - take your pick.
by skatingfan People really thought that Tien was going to challenge Djokovic?
by news727 The first 5 setters have taken place in:
- Grandstand (7:12 to 10:58PM): Nakashima wins it 6-2, 6(5)-7, 2-6, 6-2, 7-6(7).
- Court 11 (6:18 to 10:29PM): Navone's comeback bid sadly fell short. He lost to Giron 0-6, 5-7, 6-4, 7-5, 4-6.
by dryrunguy So, I had Navone in the pool, but honestly, I'm really glad Giron pulled that out. He had a match point with Navone serving at 2-5 in the 4th; didn't get it done. Then Giron served for the match at 5-3 in the 4th, got broken twice, and lost the set 7-5. Navone was up an early break to start the fifth, but was immediately broken back. They stayed on serve the rest of the set, I think, until Giron broke at 4-all (at love, no less), at which point he served in out at love. So Giron won the last 8 points of the match.
I bet it was a fun match to watch in person, save the opening set.
by skatingfan Bonzi leading 2 sets to 0, 5-4 40-30, 2nd serve when a camera person came on to the court. The chair umpire, Greg Allensworth, correctly awards a 1st serve, and the crowd loses it. The crowd causes a 6 min+ delay, and then Medvedev breaks back, and wins the 3rd set.
by Owendonovan .....and the 4th at love.

that was me, just being whimsical.. I was expecting Tien to do well, but hadnt noticed who his first round opponenet was until later... then I thought best to leave it alone.
by ashkor87 the really shocking ones were Kudermetova and Tauson, both were playing well, I thought.. I had pencilled in Tauson for the QFs. very surprising, though, of course, Eala is a good player.
by news727 Navone and Medvedev, two desparate comeback attempts from two sets down.
Neither made it.
by skatingfan Medvedev won the 4th set 6-0, and then somehow Bonzi came back to win the 5th set from a break down.

Breaking:
Bounces can report, confirmed by USTA, that the photographer was escorted from the court by US Open security.
His credential has been revoked for the 2025 US Open.
by jazzyg For the second time this year in a hard court slam, Medvedev saved a match point while down two sets to none, cruised through the fourth set with the loss of one or no games, got up a break in the fifth and still found a way to lose to a player he should have beaten.
His head is in one of the worst places imaginable.
by ponchi101 I said it during the HRTNY contest. I had him in my team, and then in Toronto he played a match that was impossible to watch.
He needs a head replacement; Sigmund Freud would kill himself in anguish if he had him for a patient.

I feel bad for him. He made a mistake. I'd hate to lose my job over one mistake.

All he did wrong was miss an out call, and he thought the match was over, and walked out on court to do his job.
by ponchi101 But isn't that the modern culture? One strike and you are out?
Totally unfair. And, as if it had affected the outcome of the match.

He may have affected the outcome of Bonzi's next match. Big difference to win in 3 and to win in 5. Especially nowadays when bo5 survived only in slams and players have less experience recovering from long matches.
by Suliso Why was the crowd so anti Tauson? Sad about this result albeit of course Eala is pretty good and it was an unfavorable draw.
by ti-amie How do you argue that call? The chair was correct.
by
Owendonovan Medvedev's pumping up of the crowd looked like a desperate move on his part. Over him at this point, glad he lost.
Bonzi is cuter, too.

The crowd wasn’t so much anti Tauson - just very pro Eala.
by FredX I was at the Medvedev match. I've been to a lot of U.S. Open matches, but I've never experienced anything quite like that.
Full credit to Bonzi. The crowd was pro-Medvedev from the start - rowdy and disruptive through the first three sets, which Bonzi handled with incredible composure. And that was before the while incident, which was completely whipped up and inflamed by Medvedev, which the chair ump did very little to try to stop. It completely rattled and deflated Bonzi, he looked like he was about to burst into tears at any moment in the fourth.
For him to pull it together in the fifth was an incredible feat. Some of the crowd started to rally behind him, and it became a divided stadium. There was one guy - I assume French - who made it down to where Bonzi was towelling off and was talking quietly to him. Bonzi seemed like he was ignoring him, but after winning a tough game, he made eye contact with the guy and gave him a fist pump. He did the same after match point, and lobbed one of the autographed balls directly to him (which he got). Would love to know what he said to him.
Medvedev has completely unravelled mentally and emotionally, and was completely responsible for the whole nonsense with his whole Mussellini routine - I'm surprised Bonzi was civil to him at the net. He, of course, went on to demolish his racket and sit slumped in his chair, head down, during the on-court interview (which he then completely disrupted by walking off in the middle of it). I came in rooting for him, but after that despicable behavior, I'm done. Though looking at him slumped in his chair there, I couldn't help but feel bad for him. What a night.

They are actually flashing a note about this in Ashe on the big screens this year - that's you shouldn't clap for errors and double faults. First time I've seen that outside of a rare umpiure comment. I feel like this has gotten progressively worse over the last few years, people now clap after every point, regardless of outcome, and it's very loud if a crowd favorite is playing. I don't think this was happening 10 years ago. Thought it might be a US thing, but went to Madrid this year and the same thing was happening. It's quite annoying.

We left at the end of the first set (we had day session tickets and ran out of gas). I don't know if I'm glad or sad that we didn't stay.

It was ugly, and made me ashamed to be part of the "New York crowd" (which is a lot of people who clearly are NOT New Yorkers, I have to say). Can't say I really enjoyed it, but it was an event to witness. Just glad Bonzi pulled through.
