Congratulations to Kenin! Great to see another successful American woman.

Wish the guys would step up.


Just makes it crazy that the USTA and the American media have overlooked her. Even last year she was better than Gauff, Stephens or Keys but got no attention because she's white and from Russia. The USTA is so obsessed with only having black or multiracial players representing the U.S.

Neither Gauff, Stephens or Keys have the refuse to lose mentality that Kenin has and that's why none of them will ever truly be great IMO. Gauff could but I haven't seen it yet and neither Stephens or Keys ever had it.

If I was Kenin and the USTA came to me now suddenly wanting to promote me like crazy I'd tell them right where to shove it. I wouldn't blame her if she represented Russia in the Fed Cup.

Not me. I'm just trying to decide between Joker 3-0 or 3-1.

Think I've seen this one before, Thiem wins set 2 and because Djoker is annoyed mentally, that'll cause him to lose set 3 as well.

Set 4 will go the distance with Thiem winning the tiebreaker.

And thus, the old new gen finally breaks through.

Djokovic is playing like shite. If thiem can’t win this set he might as well quit.

I've only seen a handful of points. But, Djoker looks out of it. Them has won five straight games.

This is probably the first time in a long time maybe ever where the slow court conditions has actually benefited another tennis player than Djokovic and Nadal. Thiem is quite frankly a superior slow court player to Djokovic at this point in his career.

Yeah not sure I like AO being slow with USO already being slow.

I did say it’s not out of the realm of possibility that Thiem wins 3 slams this year. Dude is an animal.

I feel the need to turn the volume down very low when watching some of these players due to the extreme grunting.

He should have run Joker off the court when he had him down and out.

Now Joker is getting his legs back and eventually Thiem's nerves will cost him the championship
