The game has started, with Andreescu leading 4-2 already. So let's just wait and history are going to be unfold today.

Andrescu is new US open champion, she won in two sets. I thought Serena will turn it over after she managed to get back from 5:1 down to 5:5 in second set but Andrescu kept it tight and won. Big congrats, it is not easy to finish the match after loosing 5:1 lead and against Serena.

I'm so happy to see Andrescu win the US Open as she really deserved to win playing a great tournament. She is the first Canadian to win a Grand Slam title, Serena once again fails to win the US Open playing against the young talent. Now we can look forward to the Nadal and Medvedev match tomorrow.

^^ Wow, Medvedev just steamrolled Dmitrov here, I though this could end in five sets. But Medvedev was really in control of this match and didn't give Dmitrov any breathing room. I guess we are correct in jumping on the Medvedev bandwagon, LOL. Nadal's turn to do his part so that we can see a clash of youth vs experience in this years Final.

We might as see changing of the guards here if Medvedev is going to win the US open. Though Nadal still proves that he still got it. But I think Medvedev has a good chance and opportunity to get the title.

Bianca Andreescu could be the next poster girl for this years US Open. Let's see how she does against the aging but still competitive Serena here.

If I'm not mistaken, Serena's coach said that Andreescu could be the next number one player. So let's see if she can live to the hype.

Certainly, If Medvedev can win the US Open, then it could be a signal that someone is already knocking on the door and it could very well be a signal that either of the big three will think of retirement already. Serena is 38 years old as well, this could also her last chance to win his 10th title. The game has started, with Andreescu leading 4-2 already. So let's just wait and history are going to be unfold today.

I watched the Federer match up to the start of the 4th set as I had to go out and do some things. At the time I thought that Federer had the match won but when I got back home I saw that he lost. Like I said in a previous post, Dimitrov has been playing some good tennis this tournament and it wouldn't surprise me to see him win which he did and it was his first win over Federer which made it even more special for him. The question is now, will Federer retire while he is still at the top or will he go on one more year which could see him drop down the rankings, it will be a tough decision for him at the end of the year.

Same here, I thought that Federer got this one, however, Dmitrov was having a good tennis in the 5th five and took the lead and it was too late before Federer got some answers. I hope we was able to tie it but Dmitrov was responding to the pressure.

Now we have one veteran left in Nadal with all the up and comers around him as Matteo Berrettini just won his match against Monfils in a five set epic.

Monfils vs Berrettini was a classic five set match. I got a feeling that we will see someone new raising the trophy this year. But Nadal is just too good or just got a lucky draw that's why he is still the last man standing amongst the big 3.

Yeah Nadal and Dmitrov are the last two of the older players, I just wonder could we see a final between the two young talent? Matteo Berrettini has had a good tournament however he hasn't played anyone who was seeded where as Medvedev has so Nadal will be a big test for Berrettini and we'll see how good he is when playing a top player. Its going to be an interesting end to this years US Open, even on the Women's side.

Yes, who would have thought that this year's US Open will be like this? Medvedev vs Dmitrov has just started the first set, just some feeling the moments now, 2-2 but I'm sure this will turn out to be exciting and I"m looking for a five set thriller. I think Nadal will be the favorite over Berrettini here, Rafa is also playing superb and as least still not push to his limits in this tournament and has a lot of gas in his tank.

It's gonna be Serena vs Bianca Andreescu on the womens side for the title for this year.

I'm watching the Medvedev and Dmitrov match now and its looking like Medvedev is in complete control winning the first two sets and leading in the third set 2-1 currently. So I'm guessing that it will be a Medvedev and Nadal final which if it becomes a reality will be a great match to see.

On the Women's side I am going for the young talent and under dog Bianca Andreescu to upset Serena.

Nadal play very good and now just Medvedev has ability to stop him from being a champion no other players can stop him but I am feeling Medvedev is also not good enough but we will watch some very good and exciting matches as we have some very good and talented players in both Semi Finals Berrettini was really good against Monfils and deserve this win.

I don't usually bet on Tennis, I like watching it though, but since we football fans don't have much to do for the next few days, I thought i'd try my luck in the is the US open last night and this is what happened:

After the first two games I immediately regretted making that bet LOL Nadal smelled blood and the little guy was bound to be his prey. I ended up falling asleep but i kinda knew what the outcome was going to be, still, i checked this morning to see if by some miracle Diego was able to defeat Nadal but...nope.

Looking forward to 'Svitolina vs Williams' tonight.

Getting nervous on the Federer vs Dmitrov final set Dmitrov led 2-0 but Federer is serving. I have a bet on Federer on this one, lol. Medvedev showing how good he really was, I though Wawrinka is going to stop his giant run however, this kid is too good at this point.

Edit: Federer lost the fifth set: 2-6.

I am expecting final between Medvedev and Nadal. Platform is very wide open for Medvedev now since he is not going to face Federer. One can argue that Dmitrov can beat Medvedev and I agree but it's the name and pressure of playing a player like Federer is no more there for Medvedev.

WOW, what a great opportunity.

Dmitrov done very good job and I watch all match he was really on target but in next Medvedev its very tough match as Medvedev is not easy man to beat we will watch very exciting and good match between two good players and now time for big three to throw rackets as now just Nadal is in and two already down and out.

You know, I said for years that Fedex has got one last Grand Slam in him and he's proven me right a few times now. But I wonder if 21 is one too far away? Time to start betting on the underdog against him in future tourneys. Love the guy, but his earlier scare was probably the writing on the wall warning us his time is finally about to come to a close.

God it makes me feel old.

Medvedev was booed just like we saw in the Wimbledon final with Djokovic being booed. It only made Medvedev more determined to win the match which he did in four sets and has now made his first ever Grand Slam semi-final. However Medvedev does look to be carrying some minor injuries as he admitted that he has been sore through out the tournament so far and has been taking a lot of painkillers to help him get through. So it will be interesting to see how he goes up against Federer or Nadal as they can exploit this.

Federer faces Dimitrov in just over an hour from now which should be a great match, Federer should get the win and advance into the semi-final however Dimitrov has been playing some good tennis in this tournament so I wouldn't count him out and cause an upset.

Osaka is out already, Bencic has a nice game, so Naomi really had a bad year I guess.

Unfortunately, Zeverev and Rublev are also gone, beaten by Schwartzman and Berettini respectively. So the men side as well is open, with Nadal, Medvedev and Federer still in the hunt.

Interesting match to watch Medvedev vs Wawrinka.

Yes we were talking about Osaka a few weeks ago on here saying that she hasn't had a good year after winning the Australian Open at the start of the year, since then she has gone down hill and hasn't looked the same. Maybe its time for her to take a break and come back better and stronger next year.

I really thought that this US Open could be another break through performance for her. Sadly, she could be one of those on the women's side that once reached the top spot, their careers went South.

The Men's side is now wide open for anyone to win however I still think Nadal will be tough to beat and the same with Federer but then again we may finally see one of the up and comers win this year which will be great for Men's tennis. Zverev has once again let himself down, I'm not sure if he will ever win a Grand Slam as he always loses at vital stages of the tournaments.

Nadal is playing good tennis, surprisingly at this stage, but yes we do hope that someone will step up and see a new winner this year. Although Zverev has reached lots of QF this year, he still fall short.

Medvedev vs Wawrinka in about an hour. This is going to be good, IMHO.

Medvedev vs Wawrinka is surely the toughest Quarterfinals of this tournament. Medvedev is reaching his high form while wawrinka has been struggling for quite a time now. So, things would be in favor for Medvedev. Of all the quarterfinalist, I'd consider Medvedev and Federer to have the highest probability of wining the grand slam. So, the semis between the winner of this match and Federer may decide the winner of US Open.
