This is a GOAT on-court interview.

 

[totoro'd]

Fucking drake

 

[Hristi]

Keeping it real!

 

[zero_suit]

Women's finals attendence is gonna look like a Marlins game on Saturday

LMAO

 

[massivekettle]

Oh well... suddenly, my agenda on Saturday is freeing up!

 

[tabs2002]

What a depressing result. Serena pls

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Hopefully this inspires Cilic. I love how vivacious these Italian players are. Easy to see why Fogninini fell in love with Penetta.

 

[Ricker]

This is a GOAT on-court interview.

Ask me another question please lol...

 

[Dusk Soldier]

Graf is probably asking a voodoo princess right now to curse Williams.

I doubt it, she still has the gold medal; Serena can't win that no matter how well she plays.

 

[miserable]

fuckin Eurosport not showing the on court interview

 

[Wafflecakes]

Any ratings predictions for the final?

ESPN crying dem tears.

Would have been the highest rated final in a LONG time.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

 

[jrush64]

lol at people blaming Drake.

 

[Kiever Sher]

300-1 to win today, good grief

 

[Kotetsu534]

Wow. What a performance from Vinci, such mental strength, such superb technique with her slice and defense at the net. But has to be said - Serena let the nerves and tension get the better of her, especially towards the end.

Would love to see Steffii Graf's reaction to the end of that match.

 

[Griss]

Took a late lunch to catch the end, delighted I did.

I genuinely believed that only a Serena meltdown could derail her, that only Serena could beat Serena. But I was wrong. That was stunning from Vinci. Just stunning tennis under the greatest pressure.

So what if the final will have a smaller audience, that was a GOAT tennis match which is more important.

300-1 to win today, good grief

Saw a guy online bet 3,000 to win 100 on Serena, laughing at others for not taking 'free money' from the bookies. LOL

 

[Angry Puppy]

yesss what a great result

 

[totoro'd]

I doubt it, she still has the gold medal; Serena can't win that no matter how well she plays.

Serena could still get one of those in 2016, i think she has a good couple of years to dominate still

 

[Wafflecakes]

Oh well... suddenly, my agenda on Saturday is freeing up!

Same. Was planning to make a day of it with some friends.

Now... maybe I will go see a movie.

Lotta Italians in NYC.

 

[BorkBork]

WHAT.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Golden slam is kind of a stupid record (hell.... year slam is as well).

Your total number of slams isn't luck overall.

Happening to win 4 in a row, and having those 4 in a row happen in the same year, and it happening to be an Olympic year.... is luck.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

The Raptors getting swept in the first round
Kentucky taking the L
Serena choking

The Drake Curse is real.

 

[mcfrank]

Pretty sad to not see the calendar slam this year.

 

[Conceptor]

Unreal. I was thinking the Calender Slam was all but a lock for Serena too.

Keep him away from the Blue Jays please.

 

[MIMIC]

Evert looks like she's contemplating suicide

 

[sam777]

That on court interview was very good. After that I can see most people wanting her to win.

 

[Omzz]

The Drake Curse is real.

I wanted to list these out, but the raptors sweep still hurts

 

[LuuKyK]

I think a Pennetta x Vinci Us Open final is more random than that Wimbledon one between Lisucki and Bartoli. lol

 

[Kotetsu534]

Saw a guy online bet 3,000 to win 100 on Serena, laughing at others for not taking 'free money' from the bookies. LOL

The bookies will have made a killing today. All the calender Slam bets died, as well as the massive amount of money on Serena to win the USO and to win today. Celebrations at Betfred's HQ no doubt.

 

[Omzz]

I should have bet just some small amount on vinci

 

[oti]

I should have bet just some small amount on vinci

;-;

me too

 

[totoro'd]

I think a Pennetta x Vinci Us Open final is more random than that Wimbledon one between Lisucki and Barfoli lol

fixed that for you

Is he a Seahawks fan?

I think if they actually shortened the tennis season to something like 8 months. Instead of having tennis tournaments virtually all year. The year end stats would have more merit.

But your right, the way it is now seems like a pointless distinction.

At the end of the day she still won four slams in a row.

 

[John Dunbar]

steffi still the queen. that is what matters.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Buyers everywhere are racing to get a refund or sell their tickets. All sale prices have plummet. Fuck everything. Serena is still goat. GG Vinci.. Out

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Penetta peaks for the USOpen. Halep will never win a slam. She doesn't have the competitors drive to win.

 

[oti]

steffi still the queen. that is what matters.

Königin forever

 

[Crud]

Fucking Drake of course its his fucking fault. Probably tried to give her her a uplifting speech that someone else wrote to her.

 

[Troy]

Graf always and still the best ever. As it should be.

 

[massivekettle]

I hope this puts to rest the talks of Serena being GOAT. Evert, Navratilova, Graf, Court would have never lost that match.

 

[Fjordson]

Well fuck. Was really hoping Serena would do it. Probably won't watch the final now.

 

[Jack Remington]

Vinci got baited into a few traps where were only option was a defensive lob, but on the points that she won, her touch and positioning were outstanding.

 

[Future Foundation]

Buyers everywhere are racing to get a refund or sell their tickets. All sale prices have plummet. Fuck everything. Serena is still goat. GG Vinci.. Out

Tickets to tomorrow's Women's Final at the US OPEN have dropped from $271 to $40 in the past 5 minutes :/

Shit.

 

[Pedrito]

Serena lost? The fuck? And to think Vinci was barely able to win a match in the first half the year. Oldest slam final ever?

 

[John Dunbar]

Königin forever

I'm in love with Steffi Graf

 

[oti]

I'm in love with Steffi Graf

Steffi, do you want to marry me?

 

[Mesousa]

This press conference is heartbreaking.
