Mike Bryan and Jack Sock win Men's Doubles, 6-3. 6-1 against Łukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo :cheer:

Their serve were only broken twice in the whole tournament :yikes:

Bryan and Sock become the first pair to win Wimbledon and U.S. Open in the same year since 2003, where legends, Jonas Bjorkman and Todd Woodbridge, achieved the same. 

 

Mike Bryan praise:

Firstly, Mike Bryan won his 6th US Open title in Men's Doubles, which equals the record for most Men's Doubles wins in US Open. He also becomes the most successful men's doubles player in Grand Slam history with 18 titles. Furthermore, he now also holds the record as the oldest Grand Slam winner in the Open Era (1968-) at the age of 40  :bowdown:

That would be so awesome, but I'm expecting 6-1, 6-0 or something :p 

 

No way. Osaka likes big scene and big matches. She'll be nervous and all, but I expect at least two games in each set. :d Obviously, if she allows 13 break points to Serena, Cause she'll use at least 1/3 of them

Serena would lose only if she makes too many unforced errors , i really wish her to win , Osaka still has plenty of time to win a GS and Serena's story will be really inspiring for many female athletes , at this age and after pregenancy, u win a GS just WOW

I agree it will be inspiring but I simply cannot say wow because I watched most of her matches and the level was mediocre with only flashes of good points. The opposition is simply weak. But nevertheless, it is still huge achievement :hatoff: 

 

I also believe she's gonna be major contender for the next year too, and would like actually to see Osaka winning. She'd repeat Serena's 1999 that way, with IW and USO titles :d (although Serena won another three too)

Yeah, Serena is not inspiring enough yet with her hundred million titles.

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
