Medvedev through to his first Grand Slam semi final after beating Wawrinka in fourth sets.

Konta is playing better than ever but needs some extra consistency

but she should be a regular in the top 10, she's playing better than Barty, Osaka etc

rooting for Serena, not a Svitolina fan

 

surprised at yesterday's men's results... wasn't expecting Federer to lose...he's had the easiest draw

and still failed against an unseeded...

Dimitrov is the lowest-ranked Grand Slam semi-finalist since Rainer Schuettler at Wimbledon in 2008.

but was 20-ish at the start of the year, and #3 a couple years ago

True, he's had his injuries, loss of form. Coming into the US Open he had lost seven out of eight in his previous matches.

Italian 24th seed Matteo Berrettini edged a thrilling five-set match against Gael Monfils to reach a first Grand Slam semi-final at the US Open.

 

In a gripping conclusion, the 23-year-old squandered four match points but held his nerve in a dramatic tie-break.

 

He eventually won 3-6 6-3 6-2 3-6 7-6 (7-5) in three hours and 57 minutes.

Seems inevitable now that he'll make the final.

the best 2 won in the men semis

Britain's Jamie Murray won a US Open title for the fourth successive year with a straight-sets triumph in the mixed doubles alongside American Bethanie Mattek-Sands.

 

The pair defended their title with a 6-2 6-3 win over top seeds Chan Hao-ching and Michael Venus.

 

Scot Murray, 33, also made history by becoming the first man in the Open Era to win three successive mixed titles at Flushing Meadows.

That was some bottle to win from Bianca after a brilliant fightback from being pegged back to 5-5 in the second set from Serena. That is a sign of a great champion. what a year she has had. Will Serena ever get the record, I wonder. Bianca Andreescu was ranked 208th in the world in the autumn last year.

I watched it on the Betfair video stream. It only occupies about 20% of the screen but it's better than nothing. I thought she'd blown it after going from 5-1 up to 5-5 but she came through in the end. There always seems to be someone each time to stop Serena equalling that record. Well done Bianca.

well deserved win, Serena played bad, so many errors

YESSS :cheer:

Nadal won :) looks like it was an epic match, nearly 5 hours

I watched the start but it was too late to watch the whole thing

Kim Clijsters is to make her tennis comeback at the age of 36 with a return to the WTA Tour in 2020.

 

The Belgian former world number one initially retired in 2007 to start a family, two years after winning her first Grand Slam at the US Open.

 

She returned in 2009 and won two more US Open titles and the Australian Open before her second retirement in 2012.

 

"I don't really feel like I want to prove something. I think for me it's the challenge," Clijsters said.

Andy Murray has taken a wildcard entry for next month's Shanghai Masters as he steps up his singles comeback.

 

The 32-year-old former world number one, who had hip surgery in January, will return to the ATP Tour in Zhuhai, beginning on 23 September.

 

He will then play in the China Open before Shanghai and the Antwerp indoor tournament the following week.

 

Murray is a four-time finalist and three-time winner in Shanghai, Asia's only Masters event.

I love tennis :P I'm just a beginner though.

Wonderful! What do you think of the tennis season so far this year?

The Hong Kong Tennis Open, due to start on 5 October, has been postponed because of ongoing protests.

 

The organisers said they would be better placed to have a "smooth running tournament...[at a] later time".

 

Hong Kong has for months been rocked by increasingly violent protests, triggered by an extradition bill.

 

The bill has now been withdrawn but protests have continued and have grown to reflect wider demands for democratic reform.

 

The Hong Kong Tennis Open was originally due to take place between 5-13 October.

 

It was to be held at Victoria Park - a vast green space with playgrounds as well as basketball and tennis courts - which has become the rallying point for many of Hong Kong's anti-government marches.
