US Open 2024

Djokovic will most likely drop to #4 after the US Open.

Ostapenko vs Osaka tomorrow is a potential blockbuster, but it could just as easily turn out to be a complete anti-climax.

The speeding up of the courts should favour the likes of Sabalenka. Have the volume control at the ready …

Tsitsipas lost tight looking first set to Kokkinakis.

Auger-Aliassime out played in first set to Mensik (very impressive at just 18)

FAA loses in straight sets to Mensik.

Need help to watch the US Open. My friend has special needs and is a tennis fanatic. Her tv has broken and she's having a meltdown because she can't watch it. I've tried to log into Sky Sports with her details but it doesn't recognise them either on laptop or mobile. How can I salvage this for her? Is my option a subscription for Now TV for the month for €17 which gives me:

Unlimited TNT Sports & Premier Sports

Can she watch the tennis with this package? I only need a one month sub. Will this work?

The sky sports + for the tennis is very handy. If there was an ability to watch on demand that would help given it’s the US open and that matches will be overnight.

I'm trying to log in on my sky with her details but no luck. Won't recognise the log in. Can I get the tennis on Now TV?

Yeah Sinner came roaring back

I saw a video where they were talking about the courts bubbling and little holes appearing in the court, and having to relay the court.

Also, it looks as warm and humid as its forecast.

Dan Evans making bits of his racket.

Dan Evans looks to be going out. He’s 0-4 in the final set.

This is now the longest match in US Open history.

well fair **** Dan Evans.

That was some comeback by Evans, fair play to him, he has always been a fighter on the court. Had to laugh at the commentator saying how Evans had to rebuild his career from the ground up a few years and never mentioning why?

I see Raducanu lost to Kenin in 3 sets, I wonder if Raducanu is interested in playing on the tour? She didn't play in any of events leading up to this because she would have to play qualifiers for them which seems a bit arrogant, especially after she missed a year with injury. Just wondering if she would prefer to be at university rather than having to slog it out on the WTA tour.

Comfortable wins for Draper (likely Alcaraz next!) and Machac (very impressive against Korda)

seems an odd question? She’s ranked 70 in the world , won 18 out of 30 matches. She’s also won eh a grand slam

Big shock alright!

Reports using the words erratic and error strewn...

I would say maybe he needed a bit of a longer break after the Olympics tbh

Last year Alcaraz's form dropped after Wimbledon and he didn't win another tournament. Maybe he's got too high an intensity game to be able to keep it up for a whole year. Someone here compared him to a puppy during Wimbledon.

De Minaur looks best placed to benefit from Alcaraz's (and Hurkacz's) early exit. There's a path to a Grand Slam semi final there for him. A run which would help cement his place in the top 8 in the Race to Turin. Before the US Open, he'd have been looking over his shoulder at Tsitsipas who also bombed out early.

Surprising that he lost so early, and so badly. But he apparently doesn't like fast hard courts*, and the USO courts are faster this year than they have been for some time.

*Odd for someone who has won the last two Wimbledons, but there it is.

Djokovic gone as well

That's a shocker. I guess Djokovic put everything into winning the Olympics, and had nothing left in the tank, mentally anyway. It's like 2016: After he finally won the French, he lost in the 3rd round at Wimbledon to Querrey.

Draper playing very solidly against van de Zandschulp two sets up.

Draper very comfortable in the end Machac next, could be fun!

Watched the first set and a half of Evans vs De Minaur thought Evans was competitive but De Minaur always seemed to have a bit more. Seen the score this morning 6-3, 6-7, 6-0, 6-0 to De Minaur, can only guess that Evans finally ran out of steam in the final 2 sets.

Zverev has a good chance of winning this, he is on the opposite side of the draw to Sinner and Medvedev. Even though Sinner is looking very strong but Medvedev might catch him.
