That was one of the worst performances of his career. So many unforced errors. The saddest thing about it is for the first time ever Federer looked done, he looked old :confused:

Well he is 37 now, remarkable that he has won 3 slams in the last 2 years and still is No2 in the world.

Nadal and Thiem just played a monster match at the US open, Nadal winning a 5th set breakerā€¦

Djokovic vs JMDP in the final, Iā€™d love to see the argentine win his 2nd slam if Iā€™m being honest.

What just happened in the womenā€™s match?

Serena just tarnished the dream of someone that considers her their idol.

It was a really shameful showing from Serena, Osaka initially couldnā€™t enjoy perhaps the greatest day of her life.

If Kyrgios carried on like Serena did heā€™d get ridiculed to the max.

Thought this was a really good read on the Serena and umpire incident. I donā€™t necessarily agree with it all, but itā€™s an interesting perspective none the less.

Has the game penalty been used much in past? I havenā€™t watched Tennis in years but it must be very rare and pretty much unheard of in a GS final?

Awful from Serena and you have to feel for the umpire in that situation, yā€™know, doing his job.

Turning a mistake from your coach into a row about equality in tennis :laughing: Silly cow

Yeah I think this is the issueā€¦ neither Serena nor umpire handled it wellā€¦ umpire way overreacted and did a terrible job de-escalating and Serena acted awfully as wellā€¦

My understanding is that the points assessed against her would probably never have happened in mens.

Djokovic ties Sampras on 14 slams after straight sets win over JMDP.

I feel for Delpo I really do, to come back after what heā€™s been through and make another US Open final and winning it would have been an amazing story .

But still kudos to Djokovic who is cementing his legacy now, these past two GS wins have probably been two of his very best because of where he was at the start of the season. Not sure if thereā€™s ever been a player that came back from being ranked where he was before Wimbeldon and then winning two straight slams plus a Masterā€™s.

I mean he only dropped one set in this tournament! And is maybe at %95, he has to be the favourite for Australia and thatā€™s back to dominating the game.

Yes, there are definitely double standards in society.

Another ATP title for Bernard Tomic, I must admit thatā€™s something I never thought Iā€™d say again.

Did anyone see this? Verdasco berating a ball boy for being too slow with the towel


Also, didnā€™t know this:

Juan Martin Del Porto retired from his 3rd round match at the Shanghai masters vs Borna Coric with a knee problem, hope it isnā€™t to bad and makes him miss the end of season finals in London.

Djokovic vs Coric in the Shanghai final. Coric took out Federer in the SF, beat him in the final of Halle also.

Coric is like 11th in the race for London, heā€™s had a pretty damn good year.

Djokovic just looks unbeatable at the moment, has restored that aura that went missing for a while. Gave Zverev a beating and itā€™s not like he played poorly.

Federer seems to lose steam when it comes to the end of the year, cant blame him. At 37 heā€™s still human, donā€™t think heā€™ll be winning the US open again at this rate.
