The Road to the US Open

[jdeck]

Wow She's a pitbull, what a comeback. I doubt she can win against Serena unless she can straighten out her serves

Don't doubt Bianca winning against Serena. Of course Serena is the GOAT and has rounded beautifully into form at the right time to win the US Open, but if Bianca is playing at her best, she can take this. Serena's 2019 record is 20-5, while Bianca's is 44-4 (of which one loss was due to retiring due to injury so really only 3 losses). So Bianca is having a stupidly hot streak, which includes a 7-0 record against top 10 players. This is an epic great veteran versus rising star match-up. Hoping for a match for the ages.

I think Bianca would be a good bet. Because of Serena's past and her current popularity at home, the bookies will make her a bigger favourite than she should be based strictly on current performance (the last few months). Sort of like how NY NFL teams and the Cowboys are always favoured by a couple of more points than they should be because of their expanded fan bases.

Does anyone have a free streaming link for the 4pm match? Thanks in advance!

Same reason why Vegas favours Leafs more than they should

Very true.

I never watch tennis, but I'm watching now and our Bianca is clearly the better player.

End of an era for Serena

 

[shack]

Impressive 1st set for Bianca. Breaks Serena twice including the last game so she gets to start the 2nd on her serve.

 

[shack]

As well, Serena is having to work very hard to hold her serve which could help Bianca down the road if it goes to a third. I don't think Serena at her age is as fit as 19 year old Bianca.

 

[shack]

Now up a break in the 2nd and getting stronger. Keep it going, girl.

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

Lots of celebs on hand

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

She's kicking her ass now

 

[K Douglas]

Wow never thought she would have taken out Serena in such dominant fashion. Well done Bianca!!

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

She better not choke

 

[K Douglas]

Holy shit what's going on. She was up 5-1 in 2nd set now it's 5-5? This could be one of the biggest chokes in history of professional sports in the making. Yikes!

Serena is damn near 40 and a recent mother to boot. She may be able to go deep in a tournament but she will need luck and everything to go right in order to get over the final hump.

 

[K Douglas]

She won. Thank God. What a test of mettle and perseverance. Amazing that's she's still only 19 years old. Congrats Bianca.

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

Nice win!!!

Sister is pretty hot too

 

[Darts]

The torch has passed in women's tennis.

Also, a kind word for Serena who fought to the end.

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

Shit, she's only 19. Got a bright future ahead of her

You almost jinxed it, KD
