Inexperience caught up with Ben Shelton, the tale of the tape, Shelton committed 24 unforced errors - Joker 7. Not just that, Joker lost only 2 points serving to the right court. You can't give way that many UEs, Joker will eat you like Andre the Giant. Like Hurkacz, Shelton hit the double 1st server but it wasn't enough. Joker had it figured out.

A lesson for Shelton, he's only going to get better.


Go Cori!

He's raw material right now. He needs to learn the game i.e. strategy, shot selection, patience.

Medevev was very good, everyone thought Alcaraz was going to win. He might win against Joko. its going to be a great game.

The wait is over. The heir to the Williams' sisters is finally here. Coco Gauff takes New York. US Open Champion. Americans will eat her up. A set down and battled to win next 2 sets. Gutsy. Congratulations 👏

I'm very happy Cori Gauff won, she's been working extremely hard for this. I hate the name Coco, as the Mexican Bandito said, "we don't need no stinkin Gone with the Wind".


Cori has been to two Finals since Brad Gilbert's been coaching her.

When I criticized her back when she was 17, you jumped to her defense and said she will get better with age and maturity. So you have been proved a prophet for which I applaud you Mr. Von 👏

Cori Gauff used the same game plan that Madison Keys tried against Sabalenka, only she didn't tire. Sabalenka is not a legit No. 1, she has glaring weaknesses. Attack her serve and extended rallies and your chances of beating her improve. Keys bagled her in the first set but couldn't convert tie-breaks on the second and third.


No Wimbledon Champion has also taken the US Open since Joker did it in 2011. Vondrousova or Swiatek would have given Cori a better match.

Coco turned pro at a very young age and so, now at age 19, she already knows how to conduct herself a a true pro. Preparation, on court demeanor, shot selection/strategy, interviews etc.

Glad that she won.

Congratulations to a Canadian champion at the U.S. Open. Gabriela Dabrowski has won her 3rd Grand Slam title, taking the women’s doubles with partner Erin Routliffe. WTG Gabby Dabby!

Coco's main coach is Pere Riba. Brad Gilbert is a consultant. She has won Washington, Cincinnati and US Open since the tandem came on board after first round exit at Wimbledon

In women's tennis I have no favorites, most Iga lovers say she's getting better with every passing tournament. I disagree, I say the next 10 players are getting stronger.
