[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been so delighted to see absolute joy on the faces of these two young players. We have all been starved for joy. I will be rooting for both of them. Neither can be truly disappointed with whatever the outcome is.

I can’t remember the last time I stayed up late to watch a tennis match! Agreed that this is a great tournament.[/quote]
I so agree with this. I don't remember seeing the absolute joy and wide-eyed wonder from teen tennis players since the 90s. Let us all enjoy these fresh faces before they become too burned-out/cynical of the game.

I'll slightly be rooting for Emma but I'll be happy with whatever the outcome is.

As far as timing of matches....grrrr. I get it. Prime Time sells but I miss the days when there was at least one semi-final (both men's and women's) in the afternoon session and another one in the evening starting at 7 or so. Do both really need to be in the evening session? At least there is a men's semifinal starting not before 3 today. That is a little bit more reasonable.

On the men's side, nice to see that match from Jenson Brooksby(?) Will he be the USA's next great hope? I'm rooting for FAA to win his semi-final and square off against Djokovic in the finals.

With all the talk about the next-generation, this tournament has been the emergence of the next-next generation. Will those youngsters prove to be the next big things? And when did Canada become such a tennis powerhouse?

Go Emma. Go Leylah. You have me excited about the women's side again.[/quote]

Heard the same thing about Sloane Stephens, Jelena Ostapenko, and Sofia Kenin, and they've all faded/struggled.   Enjoy the moment but don't count on necessarily seeing them again in finals. [/quote]

Everybody knew Kenin was a fluke [/quote]
