Stephens is #81 in the world, but has only played 9 tournaments in the past 12 months due to injuries. She's a lot better than her ranking.

Not talking about her ranking. She had a lot of promise but her mental game was atrocious before the injury. Loved how smart she played.

 

[Milchmann]

Stephens' comeback after her long injury break is impressive. Semifinals in Toronto and Cincinnati and now quarterfinals at the US Open.

9 tournaments? Pfff. That should be enough for #2

I must admit, this is the first time I'm hearing or seeing Sevastova.

What's funny to me is Serena is still #15 in the world and she hasn't played a match since the AO finals

I must admit, this is the first time I'm hearing or seeing Sevastova.

Her and Oostapenko make a damn good Fed Cup team for Latvia.

Winning a GS gives you such a nice security blanket for the next 12 months.

 

[Diprosalic]

Seeing Sharapova next to those little WTA players is always funny to me.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Noooo sharapova lost. At least Sloan made it through.

 

[zero_suit]

Pova lost? Excellent.

I hope Venus can finally win another slam. Muguruza might be a problem, though.

 

[Niraj]

Diegoooooo

 

[perfectchaos007]

Carla Suarez Navarro has always had one of my favorite one handed backhands on the womens tour. Only woman who could hit it better was Justine Henin

 

[sam12]

Star power at US Open has taken a significant dive with Sharapova out

Venus Williams is still in though. And of course on the mens side you have Federer and Nadal

True, still on the women's side Sharapova was a big draw, nice to see Williams advance through

 

[Diprosalic]

I wish they would mention how old Venus is. 🤔

 

[sam12]

Major respect for Kvitova after being attacked, with injuries to her hand, last December, and still reaching this far.

Rooting for Muguruza!!

I'm rooting for Kvitova due to what she has overcome but I think Muguruza will win comfortably

Seems to be definitely heading that way so far

 

[clemenx]

It's risky to say this for the WTA but I think Muguruza not winning it all would be a major upset

I would say Muguruza v. the field oidds are about even at this point

 

[Niraj]

Pretty good match so far. Hope Petra can take it.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Wow Kvitova actually takes the first set. Muguruza in a bit of trouble

 

[Smellycat]

These ESPN commentators are clueless. you would think former pros like Chris Evert and Patrick Mckenroe would pick their words carefully. "when you are match tough, important points are automatic wins". Muguruza proceeds to dump an easy volley put away and then DFs on the next point lol

 

[sam12]

What an exciting match. Kvitova really stepping it up

 

[Electrichapel]

Really disappointing watching Mugu bottle it in this second set.

 

[zero_suit]

Just checked the score. Petra must be in good form. She can beat pretty much anyone if that's the case.

She has had some wild results since her comeback. I guess her wrist isn't 100% every day, but when its not bothering her she can be dominate

 

[d+pad]

Poor Garbine She was looking at a 5-1 lead in the first set, didn't get it, and then lost the plot on this match.

I'm not seeing her come back and win it, but I hope I'm wrong.

Oh, well, I like Petra, too. And I'm also glad Sloane won today. I'd really love it if Sloane or Pliskova somehow won this thing...

 

[clemenx]

Fuck, I jinxed Garbi. But damn, peak Petra is WTA's unicorn. So gooood.

 

[d+pad]

Unfortunately, I have a hard time seeing Petra keeping up this form through the GFs, SFs and Finals--assuming she even gets that far :|

More likely is Venus beating her in the next round. Yawn.

 

[clemenx]

I jinxed Petra now.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Amazing stuff from Kvitova. I did not see that upset coming.

 

[zero_suit]

Impressive win for Petra.

 

[Niraj]

Nice win, really happy for her.

 

[sam12]

Wow, that was unexpected. Sad for Muguruza but great for Kvitova, well deserved

 

[Kensuke]

Terrible match imo. There was tension, but they hit double the amount of unforced errors vs. winners. Muguruza was especially bad, hard to believe she was in such good form before. Won Cinci with zero trouble, cruised through the first 3 matches here but then could barely keep the ball in the court.

 

[Electrichapel]

I agree. Petra frustrates me so much. Peaked tonight but I doubt she will keep it up.

She played amazing tonight but wish Muguruza could have won.

 

[d+pad]

Yes, Kvitova "deserved" it in the end. She looked terrible at the start, but that game at 4-1 down woke her up and she never looked back. Good on her, though I'm sad for Garbine. Really wanted her to win the whole thing and become the next number one.

 

[perfectchaos007]

So if you guys thought "Tennys Sandgren" was a funny name, in the girls singles draw there's a girl named "Katie Volynets"

 

[clemenx]

One return game in and Querrey already has a couple of better passing shots than Isner ever had vs Mischa.

 

[Kensuke]

Querrey playing like an upcoming slam champ.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Damn, Sam.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Its tough to break Mischa in a set, let alone twice. Go Sam!

 

[aronnov reborn]

Sam is the hero that was promised

 

[clemenx]

Damn look at Sam out there goating.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Woah.

 

[Simply Sami]

Fucking hell Querry is on fire.

 

[AoM]

Damn Querrey.

He ends with 55 winners and 8 unforced errors lol.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Damn Querrey.

Insane. He can beat anyone with those kinds of numbers

 

[Diprosalic]

i kinda want that jacket
