I know it’s football season, but an American, raked 99th is giving number 1 Djokavich all he can handle.

Great US Open match on right now

- Start date
The young woman who upset Osaka is fun to watch. Lefty from Canada…Leylah Fernandez.
Third set, Djokovic is wearing down the American. Brooksby simply lacks the firepower in his first serve to compete in a five set match against the #1 seed. Give the kid credit, but at this point he's facing the wrong end of a battle of attrition.
I’m thinking maybe a who’s hottest of 18 plus tennis stars? Whatever happened to Wozniaki?
I'm just hearing of this guy, 6'-11" Reilly Opelka, who just lost today after a decent run.

Reilly Opelka’s Experiment in Radical Honesty Is Going According to Plan
The fantastically tall, magnificently bearded, art-gallery-sponsored U.S. pro with the unhittable serve is probably not the savior American men’s tennis is forever in search of. He seems to be just fine with that.
I got home just in time to see Fernandez win her tie break. She is quite likable and could see her contending for majors soon.
Ha! Like - now! Beat three top five seeds and will be playing for the championship this weekend!
First time since 1999 that two teens are playing for the title with radacanu and Fernandez. Should be a great match. Both are very likable.
Yeah, I watched the last two sets. I haven’t seen the other finalist play, but I’m rooting for Fernandez to win.
She’s fun to watch - really good game too. Looking forward to the final and I’ll be rooting for her as well.
Did everyone notice that there are no lines people? They're using electronic line calling this year.

That's to prevent Novak from hitting them with a ball.
She’s a great story too. Another reason why women’s tennis is so much more enjoyable than men’s…
I watched the Women’s Final and it was a tremendous match - future of women’s tennis is in great hands. Champion Emma Raducanu is going to be massive I think. Great game, model looks, and very gracious. Laylah Fernandez got a bit of bad luck when Raducanu got hurt (bloodied knee on a slide) and took an injury time out to get it bandaged just as Fernandez was about to play for break point. It took nearly five minutes to put a band aid on and you can tell it messed with Fernandez’s mindset. She argued a bit with an official about the length of the time out but to no avail - Radacanu bounced back and won on an ace.
Looks like a suitable replacement for the thrice deposed Phoebe Cates.I watched the Women’s Final and it was a tremendous match - future of women’s tennis is in great hands.
