Rafa was simply amazing after the first set. The dude is certainly up there with roger. How privileged we are to have 2 of the best ever at the same time, not even mentioning novak who has been stunning for the last 5 years (forgetting this season).

Well done to Rafa, would have liked to see Del Potro win but never mind.
Happy to see Anderson through to the final too

Get across the line now Rafa.
Can't help but wonder if that last set in January is going to potentially cost him the record though. It would be 18-16 right now if he won it, potentially 18-17 after Monday morning.
IMO one more non-French removes any potential argument you could mount to say he is too clay-centric to be the best ever.
You win 3 US, 2 Wimbledon and an AO, that alone makes you a great of the game. Add in a lazy 10 French and you're vying with Federer even before you address the head to head imbalance.

Quite a performance by Nadal, a year ago I didn't expect him to make the US Open final but now looks like the potential winner.
To think if he'd won that last set Rafa would be the only man in the Open Era to win all four Slams at least twice- which would also be massive
Aussie Rafa one step closer to being another slam closer to Darth VaFederer. Still a bit behind Queen Serena but a few more Frnch Opens and he'll be the true GOAT!
Love del potro and Nadal. Hard to watch. Normally I am going for one of those two against another

No chance.
The planets have aligned for Rafa at the US but when he wins he will only have 16.
He is not going to win 4 more French Opens and he is not winning another slam off clay.

Stephens played 1 match in 12 months and then has played 17 in a month. Questionable run is questionable.
Wonder if she's had a pep talk of some sort ?

Can't see Anderson taking a set off Rafa.
Predicting a 6-4, 6-2, 6-1 type scoreline.
Going with Keys as well. Terrific run by Stephens at this slam but think it will end now.

I went with Stephens. She going to counter keys pace. But it going to be a close one.
I read someone who said keys record against counter punchers is not crash hot. Don't know personally but I liked the sound of it.
Also don't really like Keys style of play. Too inconsistent.

Just a great set of tennis by Sloane. Just consistent, varied play and it has worked so far. Very composed.
In before 6-0 in the 2nd like the last semi.

And that's how it was in the first set. Too many errors from Keys.

I meant keys going 6-0, not the other way round.
The discussion will be about how bad keys played, bagelled (or breadstick or whatever happens) in the final. But Stephens has played amazing. Just forced Keys to try too much. Keys has been Keys. And it has just snowballed. The games Keys has won has been due to the serve. In general play, it has been a bloodbath.
Every point for keys is tough work. For someone like Keys that is GG.

Yep, completely wiping Keys off the court!
Sloane playing like she could beat anyone today.
Bagel to finish it off!

Well done Stephens. That was perfect. As good as someone has played all year. Just dismantled your friend mentally, physically and tactically. Just perfect.
If I wasn't on my phone, I would post a clapping gif. Just wonderful.
