Definitely the biggest upset on both the men’s and women’s side so far though. Especially considering how well Simona played in Toronto.

geddymonster Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 Halep going out is actually a huge boon for Serena if she can take advantage of it.
Marla Singer Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 I don't think I have ever seen an atmosphere like that at any tennis match, I had chills. I'm glad Serena got the win, and she definitely looked much better here than at Cinci.
geddymonster Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Serena looked solid after the nerves wore off and her serve started clicking. I think the biggest thing she needs to work on is really attacking second serves. She started to hit some aggressive returns towards the end of the match, but she’ll need to do that more consistently against Kontaveit. Overall, though, I think her level was at least on par as when she reached the finals in 2018 and 2019.
geddymonster Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 I do feel bad that she’s being forced to do all this celebratory/goodbye stuff. It’s to be expected, but you can tell she’s not into it.
Sensation Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 I got last minute tickets for Wednesday night (I arrive in NYC tomorrow) since prices were already going crazy. Excited to be there even tho it'll be tough against Anett.
simmnfierzig Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Kasatkina out is also a massive shock Crazy first day, but also somewhat expected. Both men and women fields are insanely open Nadal coming off injury and Medvedev not playing that well

simmnfierzig Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 Ugh Emma again with blisters all over her right hand. Pretty entertaining first set. Cornet with some absurd defense at times
Gui Blackout Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 Emma losing was probably the most predictable result of this R1 Tbh this might be good for her in the big picture, the pressure and expectations was overwhelming. Now she's free and can start over
