Nick Kyrgios has a tantrum. He was upset with spectators talking and yelling while he was tryin to serve.

Bianca!
Down one set and frustrated throughout much of the night, the 19-year-old from Mississauga, Ont., seeded 15th, was nonetheless able to compose herself under the bright lights, battling back against the No. 25 seed Mertens to win a gruelling three-set match, 3-6, 6-2, 6-3. The match lasted two hours and one minute.
Andreescu is now the second Canadian to ever advance to the U.S. Open semifinals — after Carling Bassett in 1984 — and the fourth woman in history to reach the semifinals in her Open debut. Andreescu will play the No. 13-ranked Swiss tennis player Belinda Bencic in Thursday night's semifinal.

WOW! Bianca Andreescu won and made history as the 1st woman to ever win the US Open in her first appearance in the Tournament. She’s 19, Canadian, and on fire. Amazing match. The crowd was against her but she tuned them out and stayed disciplined.

I used to love watching tennis as a kid. Especially the McEnroe days. Not so much any more.
untold...breaking point on Netflix is pretty good.

I wonder what the verdict on Novaxx Djokovic will be. The drama with him is ridiculous now. Visa revoked twice, his manager didn't fill out the forms properly, he did a photoshoot sick with Covid "not to disappoint" the journalist, his father portraying him like he's Jesus or something, ffs...

I'm going to be watching the French Open tomorrow morning.
Coco Gauff is going up against the number one ranked womens single champ Swiatek for the championship.
It's impressive because Coco just recently turned 18 and is the first US woman to make it to a major final as
a teen since Serena did it over 20 years ago.
Swiatek appears to be unstoppable though and only 21 herself so hopefully a rivalry is born out of this.

So Serena is coming back for Wimbledon next week. I'm pretty pumped up about it. I still haven't seen that movie yet King Richard.
