Halep had a match point in the second set but now Kiki is up a break in the third set. Classic halep meltdown incoming?

I'm so happy for Kiki. To think, just a year ago, she dreaded the hardcourt season and was actually close to quitting professional tennis altogether. Now look at her: defeating the world nr 1, together with five other top 10 players over the last two weeks, to win her first title on hardcourt.

She knew she had to step up her game if she wanted to prevent her name being forever tied to the meme challenge du jour.
Considering how bad his return of serve is, this set is over at least.
djokovic gifts a break early in the second. hopefully federer serves well and takes this into a third.
One of the worst performances from Fed in a while. Double faults at critical moments, horrible errors, weak mentality. It's been a rough year post Rotterdam. Including IW and the Halle finals, that's 3 finals where he just seems out of it. My USO expectations are pretty low.

He's 37.
Last year was just a exception in his 30s. He ain't won the US open for 10 years, I doubt that was going to change this year. Last year was his best shot to do it. But now Djokovic is back. Nadal is also playing at a better level than Federer currently.

Halep has accepted a wildcard into this weeks Connecticut Open. She has made it to the finals of the last 2 tournaments so I figured surely she would take the week leading up to the USOpen off. I know she's very fit but this seems like a bad decision.
Meh, in the grand scheme of things, those are pretty irrelevant.

Tennis channel is airing live US Open qualifying. Bouchard just destroyed her first round opponent 0,1
The Laver Cup teams are going to be:
Team Europe: Roger Federer, Alexander Zverev, Grigor Dimitrov, Novak Djokovic, David Goffin and Kyle Edmund
Team World: Juan Martin del Potro, Kevin Anderson, John Isner, Diego Schwartzman, Jack Sock and Nick Kyrgios
Seems pretty balanced.

Other possible notables aside from what miserable mentioned:
Venus and Serena possible R3 and winner could play Halep, Azarenka-Sloane R3, Kyrgios-Fed R3, Fed-Fognini/Chung R4, Cilic-Goffin R4, Nishikori-Schwartzman R3, Tsitsipas-Coric R3 winner playing Delpo in R4, Raonic-Dimitrov/Stan R3

Halep scares no one. Whoever wins the possible Serena/Venus match could easily beat her.

Haha right? They would probably be shocked to know we have a tennis community here, as small as it may be....

I wish Era members took as much interest in tennis as they do in Serena v. Chair umpire.
