12:55am finish!!

Duckworth will try to get revenge against

Arthur Fery in the semi-finals, after losing to him in Cincinnati last week.

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

He's a gooden. I let him beat me in the Wimbledon Echuca finals in 2000. I didn't turn up, cos I figured that him not being born yet was unfair. That's just me. What a racket! 🎾🎾🎾

It's wide open this year, No Sinner and Alcaraz likely not in the best form

 

[upthetigers]

I think it's disgusting that Venus Williams keeps getting wild cards into grand slams, she has lost her last 15 matches, give the wild card to a younger up n comer! Incredibly selfish.

No Djokovic to worry about

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

No Djokovic to worry about

I know that is a bit lucky hey

I dont think Shelton is much good but the stars might align given joker out and siner out

Pure grit from the Duck

Off the back of a semi-final run in Winston-Salem, the 34-year-old was down 5-6 0-40 in the fourth set, before eventually getting the job done!

New York breakthrough

Across two days, Birrell has clawed back from a set down, and a match point down in the 2nd set to win her first main draw match at the US Open.
With that she climbs +16 rankings spots to a career high 55 live, taking back the mantle as the leading Aussie female on tour.

Sweeny advances to the second round of a major for the second time this year

Alex comfortably takes care of business

 

[Leck]

I was talking to a friend of mine who's a high school tennis coach, and he mentioned a Roger Federer stat, which I initially thought had to be wrong.

Roger won 82% of the games he played, but he only won 54% of points. When the games got down to the nitty-gritty, he always found a way to win.

Ben Shelton in to third round keep going

 

[upthetigers]

Not the result Maya wanted, but she went toe to toe with a top 10 player.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Maya Joint was impressive today against world number 9. Was a high quality match, first time she has taken a set of a top 10 ranked player. Ended up losing but the quality of the match was great.

Hopefully blueprint for rest of the season for her.

She is the best talented woman’s player we have on tour.

She is a baseline player, needs to come to the net more I feel.
