Apparently Serena was leading 5-1 in the 3rd set and 40-30 on Serve , but still she lost 7-5 :yikes:she lost 4 match points , WOW i really regret not watching the 3rd set , but i couldn't wake more for sorry :d

Yeah she injured herself on match point and was barely 5% of what she had been up until that point in the 3rd set: unplayable.

I am not sure whether the umpire's decision on match point had anything to do with the way she played afterwards (although she didn't seem too bothered by it)?

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Novak and Nadal were very lucky in this AO , i think no doubt we'll have final of both players in , Women's Semis Pliskova will play Osaka and Kvitova will play Collins , will we have an all Czezh final :d

How exactly were they lucky? I'd say currently noone else (maybe except for a fit Del Potro) is anywhere near them. I don't see Federer or Wawrinka (or even Murray) getting there again, so we have to hope that one of the young guys (Khachanov, Coric, Tsitsipas, Shapovalov, Auger-Aliassime) gets there in the next 2-3 years.

they're the best right now ofc , but none of them played a top 10 player on their way to the final , even Novak played Nishikori after some marathon matches and he was injured and retired from the 2nd set , but yes ofc they're the best with some gap over others right now , maybe Nadal got stronger challenges than Novak , as he got Tsitisipas and Berdych on his way to the final and didn't drop a set against them

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck? 
    • Qualified for the Grand Prix Final   Men: 1.  Ilia Malinin 2.  Yuma Kagiyama 3.  Shun Sato  4.  Adam Siao Him Fa 5.  Kevin Aymoz 6.  Daniel Grassl   Final Standings   Women: 1.  Kaori Sakamoto 2.  Amber Glenn 3.  Wakaba Higuchi 4.  Hana Yoshida 5.  Mone Chiba 6.  Rino Matsuike   Final Standings   Pairs: 1.  Deanna Stellato-Dudek / Maxime Deschamps 2.  Riku Miura / Ryuichi Kihara 3.  Minerva Fabienne Hase / Nikita Volodin 4.  Sara Conti / Niccolo Macii 5.  Anastasiia Metelkina / Luka Berulava 6.  Ellie Kam / Danny O'Shea   Final Standings   Ice Dance: 1.  Lilah Fear / Lewis Gibson 2.  Madison Chock / Evan Bates 3.  Piper Gilles / Paul Poirier 4.  Charlene Guignard / Marco Fabbri 5.  Evgeniia Lopareva / Geoffrey Brissaud 6.  Marjorie Lajoie / Zachary Lagha   Final Standings   The Grand Prix Final will be held in Grenoble, from 5 to 8 December.
