Would a Navarro vs. Pegula final be the richest match in tennis history?

Gotta ask, is a kit change required after only 37 minutes of play?

My goodness, Jessica Pegula is playing some excellent tennis tonight. That was a great return game just now to get the break.

Kyrgios just took Meddy in four sets - I'm taking Jannik in four.

What a strange match...

Sinner wins set 1 6-2
Medvedev wins set 2 6-1
Sinner up 5-love in set 3

Edit: Sinner wins set 3 6-1

So Vasek vs Roddick is not the rivalry I thought would happen

Great comeback by Jessica Pegula tonight and she will take on Aryna Sabalenka in the women's final on Saturday.

Have to applaud the effort by Draper today but it's clear he's running on empty. Sinner just too strong and he will be a massive favorite in the final.

I'm happy for Tiafoe and Fritz playing so well but honestly a little jealous as well, this could have been Shapo or Felix .

Taylor Fritz has turned himself into a pretty good player - Much better mover and defensive player than he used to be. That said, I don't think it's going to be enough to beat Sinner on Sunday.

I guess the positive to take away is that Felix and Shapo can achieve the same kind of success as Fritz and Tiafoe in future grand slams if they put the work in and make the necessary changes to their respective games (including changes to their teams).

Aryna Sabalenka gets that elusive US Open Championship trophy. Really good match from Jessica Pegula today, but Aryna was just a little too strong.
