Complete dominance by Medvedev. I have never seen anyone control Djokovic like he did throughout that final match.

So to underscore my earlier remark and put that into perspective, this 18 year old girl just won herself a gigantic sum of money in the form of $2.5 MILLION. This is just the beginning for Raducanu. Her life will forever be changed by this single US Open victory. Now the endorsements will come flooding in and that will likely be even more money. Same can be said about Leylah Fernandez.

By the way, what's the reaction like over there in the UK? It must be in every headline.
Not actually a huge amount of chatter about her. But... On BBC radio 2, there is a talk show today which will be discussing whether any part of her success can be attributed to the fact that her family are immigrants to the UK (and therefore have a stronger work ethic). Such fucking BS! Of all the things which could be talked about, they choose to discuss where she's from!? Who the fuck cares? She's lived the vast majority of her life here, she calls this place home, her entire tennis training has been in the UK; that makes her a British tennis player now move the fuck on! 2021 and we're still finding concern over where somebody is from?? I despair. Somebody send help to this godforsaken island, please.

I watched the match and did not feel like Djokovic was playing at his normal level. Quite a few unforced errors. That being said, I do not think it would have mattered. Medvedev played fairly high risk tennis and was able to keep Djokovic on the move. For Djokovic to not break him till the third set and Medvedev had to double fault to lose the game tells me that it just wasn't Djokovic's day. Just my two cents worth.

Oh there's no question it wasn't Djokovic's day but it was also a combination of the precision and consistency of Medvedev I think. He sensed right away Djokovic was struggling and did a masterful job of mixing up his serves and shots. Probably also a combination of pressure and ultimately fatigue. He had quite a few more hours of playing time throughout the tournament than Medvedev.

Well you think Emma Raducanu is enjoying her new stardom? Lol.
She was even representing in a Chanel dress at the Met Gala in New York.

Her life is forever changed. Good for her. Hope she keeps her head on her shoulders.

No idea but based on your response my guess is a lot more respectable age than me.

Haha, I have no idea if my age should be described as respectable. I'm still not really a suitable age for dating an 18 year old, but I'm not old enough to *legally* be her biological father
