    Yes, awesome match. Kinda wanted Kachanov to win, or at least get to a fifth and deciding set.

    Women's field's a slaughterhouse of seeds as usual lol. I'm rooting for Stephens to repeat as champion.

    stephens had a very nice shot in her last match (not today's match) she was running back and hit a forehand across the court for an amazing point.

    federer lost last night and it seemed like the heat effected him.

    Stephens lost :emoji_slight_frown: Now I don't care for the women's field anymore lol.

    On the men's side excited for the Nadal - Del Potro semi-final. Also curious who will (probably) face Djokovic in the semis, Cilic or Nishikori.

    nadal vs del potro sould be a showdown. i'm not so sure joker vs. Nishikori will be as good.........but i hope i'm wrong

    we could end up with an all american final on the women's side......if serena and madison hold up for one more match

    Djokovic does everything a little better than Nishikori so I'm expecting a win in four sets for Novak. Nadal - Del Potro is blockbuster material.

    Williams - Osaka, might as well count that as all-american final, Osaka's more american than anything. Can't see her defeat Williams though, Serena looked like a monster, crushing souls over there in NY.

    both men's semi's matches were disappointing.......we need a good finals on the men's and women's side to make up for it

    happy for naomi.....she played really well and has a mature demeanor. docking serena a game was controversial and sort of took away from the match a bit. but serena has to maintain her composure a little better........which isn't easy during the magnitude of a match like this

    Felt so bad for her when the crowd booed during the ceremony (even if it wasn't against her personally).. glad Serena told them to cheer for her. She deserved it

    This is why I really don't like Serena. Super happy Naomi won, but poor girl didn't get to celebrate it like she wanted to.

    i think novak will win in 4 sets. he's just too good at returning. can't wait for this match

    I think you’re right, Novak in 4. First set will be key for Del Potro.

    i figured novak would win---just didn't see him winning in straight sets. del potro had a good chance at that second set, but he just wasn't able to win it. being tall like del potro is.....is a disadvantage for sure--because it makes movement more difficult--and against someone like joker who is master at returning.....his height is even more of a disadvantage

    Djokovic is just too good, he'll be number 1 in the world again after next years' Australian Open, quote me on that one :emoji_wink:
