Regardless of what happens the rest of the tournament, this is one of the best US Opens. Joker is out.

Go Gabe.

Federer, Nadal or Djokovic did not win a grand slam this year. First time in 22 years 👏
Reminds me of the NHL. When Jerome Iginla led the league in points in the 2001-02 it marked the first time in 21 years Gretzky, Lemieux, or Jagr didn't lead the league in points.

The 2024 US Open has been an underdog's tournament so far. Djokovic bowing out was not really a surprise, he gassed himself in Paris. He won the gold medal for Serbia, at 37 his recuperative powers have slowed down.

I've been told I need glasses, Elise Mertens makes me stiff...and Madison Keys chokes again.

Gabriel Diallo lost to Tommy Paul in 4 sets after winning the first set. But he deserves applause considering he had to play a full tournament to qualify and then made it to the 3rd round of the US Open. Future seems bright 👏

JohnnyMac once said of Shapo's potential is unlimited. Probably true except the elevator doesn't go to the top floor. Diallo did well at the Canadian Open, which earned him a qualifier for Flushing Meadows. Hope he builds on it unlike those other two guys.

Sweet Iga learned a trick or two from her idol Rafa.

Just as I predicted several years ago. At the time it was "that time of the month" that stopped her from winning the Canadian Open.

The Paris Gold Medalist survived her toughest test, I don't see anyone stopping her. She's athletic like Caroline Garcia with a far superior brain.


Can Diana Schneider upset Jessica Pegula?

As great as Emma Navarro has played she going to have a tough against the winner of the Sabalenka vs Zhang matchup. Her father Ben Navarro is the Italo/American version of George Soros. They both made off with a billion dollars by shorting a national economy. Soros shorted the British Pound Sterling in 1992 while Navarro shorted the American Real Estate market in 2008. Navarro is now the founder of Sherman Financial Group and the owner of Credit One Bank.

Ben Navarro is a darker version of Michael Burry (Christian Bale).
