Forgot today is Labor Day, that explains why Coco v. Naomi isn’t at night. 

1) Coco feels less pressure playing during the day and she has already broken down on court at least once this tournament.

2) It’s Labor Day.

3) The day temperatures are mild this year.

4) Day matches help keep your routine closer to normal vs the late US Open matches.

Coco is US Tennis’ chosen one. They want to do whatever they can to help keep her in the tournament and Coco likely requested the day session.

I expect Naomi to win.

I have never seen Feliz A-A play this well. 

On the other court… De Minaur is a vanilla menace. He is so good at covering the court, fast reflexes and fast movement, but almost no personality.

He just made a wrist flick return from the baseline that barely cleared the net and landed just inside the sideline and his opponent, who was approaching the net in a position of power could barely get to it to knock it wide. No interaction with the crowd regarding how great that was  

…And his opponent just double faulted to end the match. 

De Minaur has the game to be a major personality / draw on tour, but you would never guess that he was even in the Top 32, much less the Top 10.

Gauff is such a head case. 

Well, she’s playing a world class head case who has gotten his shit together.

Also, when these two idiots announcers (Evert & Bozo) say that SERENA was the trend setter of having a baby and coming back to the tour, they are basically shitting all over Kim Clijsters’ 3 grand slams she won as a mother.

1) Bose commercials with Coco and Ben Shelton

Bose Jinx?

Both out before the quarterfinals.

2) Kostyuk’s firm behind stomps Muchova 7-0 in the 2nd set tiebreaker.

I saw him beat Zverev about four years ago and thought he would burst onto the scene as the Next Big Thing.  Not sure what happened but he finally seems to be playing reasonably well.

Sometimes we forget how young these athletes are.  

I'm guessing Arch is well grounded but all the pressure of the last month probably didn't help him this weekend.

I watched the Coco vs Osaka match. With Osaka up 5-3 in the first set, ESPN showed a stat indicating Osaka had hit every forehand cross court except for 2.  As the match progressed, I noticed she was hitting the forehands to both sides.  I also saw Coco try to run around her forehand to hit a backhand and then be out of position for the next shot (repeatedly).  It was a complete dismantling of Coco's forehand.  I give huge props to Osaka!!!!  Coco hired the coach that fixed the second serve woes of Tigress.  I didn't notice her serve being a huge issue but maybe that was because of the forehand failure.  Either way, that coach has some work to do.

Did anyone watch Pegula vs Krejcikova today? I saw the score, but was it a case of Jessica being locked in? Or was Barbora just not herself today?

Also, saw most of the 3rd set of Álcaraz vs Lehecka.

Carlos was like a video game character with a video game playing savant holding the 🎮 in his hands. Some of the shots were simply not human.

Venus and Fernandez getting their asses kicked. Complete 180 from yesterday’s great match. 

1, 2, 3, & 4 seeds all made the semis.

Vondrousova wanted none of that smoke. Rough day for the Czechs

Yep. And Muchova seems to always be battling injuries. Osaka seems to be in the groove. The Czech run could be coming to a close tomorrow.
