FC/OT: Don't look now, but half the remaining women in the U.S. Open are American...

And, all four could reach the semi-final if they win this week. Pretty crazy but could make for a spectacular environment in Flushing Meadows - especially at night. I kind of wanted Sharapova to make it further just to play up her villain role, but I'll gladly take this instead.

sharapova ran out of gas in the third set... any word of injuries?

Blister and fatigue; nothing significant. She has to work herself back into shape.

How many of them are women?

Did you see the 5 set match Federer v Tiafoe? That young kid is going to be something special. I am not a huge tennis guy, just dial into the majors (like a High Holy Jew) but that match had me hooked.

I didn't think my sense of humor was this dry - or am I missing something? I did say 'half the remaining women'....?

My sense of humor is a bit twisted I guess

Yeah - Tiafoe is a great story too. He has a more complete game than the other top American men (Isner is all serve, Querrey hadn't made it past the fourth round of a GS until last year) and has a really great heavy topspin forehand. He'll need to work on hitting the ball flatter to keep other players honest, but he was a lot of fun to watch.

plus the heart problems/snark.
