<<< US Open finals >>>

First, congratulations to Coco ... after that first set things didn't look good, but she settled in, persevered and put her foot down on the gas! Well done Coco!

Who do you like in todays men's final?

Can Medvedev repeat what he accomplished in 2021 or does Djokovic avenge the loss?

Novak rubs me the wrong way. Very arrogant.

I have to admit, I’m in this camp as well …

Medvedev strikes me as almost robotic at times.

I think another interesting aspect is the contrasting pace of play … Medvedev gets up to the line and is ready to serve. Djokovic bounces the ball endlessly and uses up the clock. That’s gotta be annoying for Medvedev

Same here. I'll be pulling for Medvedev.
Was hoping to see Alcarez in there but it'll be a great match.
Coco was amazing yesterday.

Normally id say Novak all the way but Med looked unreal against CA. He was at his best. If he repeats this, we are in for a super close battle. AND Med has beat him before in the final here. Its a true toss up, but I’m picking the Joker in a five setter

I couldn’t agree more

I don’t remember the 2021 final all that well but I seem to recall Medvedev was at his best and had a few things go his way … he’ll need the same today to repeat that feat against the best returner in the game.

Djokovic just seems so relaxed (composed) under any and all types of tennis circumstances. He really is the best on court we’ve seen.

Loved yesterday. What a gutsy final by Coco, and great tennis all around. That finals is what every sports movie is made of.

I liked the finesse days of Laver and Newcombe through the McEnroe era. The modern power game of today makes it too hard to follow the ball.

I have a feeling Med peaked against Al and so I think Djocky will win it, if Med can repeat then he probably wins.

Yes indeed, well done.

He doesn’t look like he’s ready to retire any time soon.
