Intriguing matchup. The crowd saw fellow American Keys play her socks off, lose heartbreakingly to Saba and leave her press conference in tears.
Coco living up to the hype but a lot of pressure on those young shoulders playing her first US Open final.

Let's go Sabalenka. (We need Coco to be eligible for Maiden Slam Winners vol 2)
one way traffic so far. only way coco wins this is if sabalenka has a melt down
this is shocking from sabalenka. goes from 2-0 to 2-2 thru unforced errors.
Sabalenka knows she could have easily been out in the Semis. I thought that might have relaxed her a bit. But no.
Aryna locked in. the best hard court player of 2023 about to secure her 2nd hard court slam of the year
watching coco for the past two weeks i have no idea how she even makes slam finals. shes an efficient player. thats it. no weapons whatsoever. she may struggle to win a slam in her career.
She's an intelligent pusher and often an excellent problem solver but she's actually playing very cagily tonight.
She let Aryna settle into that set by failing to apply pressure.

if aryna loses from here, all of new yorks emergency services and back up teams will be needed.

best player of 2023!
Much more like it from Gauff. This would make a great 5 setter. Time for more twists and turns.
should Gauff be fav now? 2.24 looks quite big, although they're both so inconsistent and unpredictable.
Coco definitely gave herself a Muzza style pep-talk in the bathroom mirror after the first set.
Night and day in that second set. Wins if she sustains it.

astonishing that a player of 6 ft plus can't put away an easy smash at the net with plenty of time. she can't seem to focus at all.

and some 2.4 plus as well.
looking even more optimistic now tbh
This will be a hard loss for Sabalenka to take if this is the outcome, from set up been so many errors on easy shots from start of second set.
mind you, there was always more than an element of doubt at one set all, tbh. with both of them making errors. I get plenty wrong. So, I'll take it.
hard to see this happening after the first set. aryna is not one for the mortgage.
Coco kept a good temperament throughout this final, well deserved
Well done Coco. And it's two barren slams in a row for the fake big 3.

cant believe it. coco gets everything back and aryna just misses eventually.

toss of a coin
novak got plenty miles on the clock
Med knows he can beat him plus he beat the man who can also beat him therefore confidence high
ffs Billie Jean King the spotlight hogger!
Sabalenka post match interview should be interesting on the collapse from start of set two
I'm annoyed at myself for not getting maiden slam vol 2 up earlier. Should have realized sooner Garcia was finnish. It's gonna be harder to get 3 for the new one with one "freebee" in Coco no longer being eligible.

BJK is a fraud.
If left to her, men would be in the women's draw
Does BJK deserve all the credit she gets or has she managed to manipulate history thanks to always being in the spotlight?
She's a fraud, see above.
She thinks men who say they're women should compete with women.
She isn't a women rights advocate as she likes to claim.

but only a 6 on the Leylah pandering scale.
Next year play best of 5 ....or are women too weak ?
Well done Coco, chuffed to bits for her, and thats one of the best, most authentic winners speeches you'll ever hear.
Loved her calling BJK, "Billie"

Best of 5 would suit the better players more.
In men's, if they were playing best of 3 there'd be no monopoly like we've had over the years.

Slaylah channelling 9/11 will never be topped!
