A short thread on the #usopen women's final, and why I think Ons Jabeur and Iga Swiatek are good for tennis (as well as excellent players):
About a decade ago, I was fortunate to get full access to a WTA tournament thanks to a friend who plays on the tour.
Back then, top WTA players very much kept to themselves. The Serenas, Sharapovas & Azarenkas praticed with male hitting partners and basically never spoke.

In contrast, Iga and Ons are very popular in the lockeroom and mingle freely with their colleagues, the way male pros do (since top ATP players have to practice with each other each week in order to get a good workout).
It’s good to be reminded that the American dream isn’t a faded myth. It will be represented in the #USOpen quarterfinals thanks to Frances Tiafoe's upset win over No. 2 seed Rafael Nadal on Monday.

Tiafoe’s parents left war-torn Sierra Leone for a better life in the U.S. Alphina was a nurse and often worked two jobs. Frances Sr. became a day laborer on a crew building a junior tennis center in Maryland, later becoming the center’s custodian. latimes.com/sports/story/2…
The most Tiafoe hoped to get out of tennis was a scholarship, because his family couldn’t afford to send him to college. Now he’s the only American left in the men’s field and a two-time Grand Slam event quarterfinalist, following his '19 run in Australia. latimes.com/sports/story/2…
De dormir en las oficinas de un centro de tenis a ser protagonista de un Grand Slam.
Así comenzó la historia de Frances Tiafoe, el estadounidense que consiguió la mejor victoria de su carrera al ganarle a Rafael Nadal en el #USOpen. Abrimos hilo.
Así comenzó la historia de Frances Tiafoe, el estadounidense que consiguió la mejor victoria de su carrera al ganarle a Rafael Nadal en el #USOpen. Abrimos hilo.
Su padre, Frances, huyó de la guerra civil de Sierra Leona y emigró a EE.UU. en 1993. Su madre, Alphina, llegó tres años después, tras ganar la lotería de tarjetas de residencia (green cards). Millones de personas se presentaron y las probabilidades de conseguirla eran escasas.
Se conocieron en EE.UU. y Tiafoe nació en Maryland. Desde pequeño, pasaba sus días en el club de tenis donde trabajaba su padre, primero como albañil y luego en el área de mantenimiento. "Durmiendo sobre mesas plegables en una oficina. Así comenzó mi aventura", dice Frances.

It’s been too long a road for Williams to shy away from what she’s done. She owns it. Deservedly. Unapologetically. And it’s rooted in what she knows she and her sister have meant to the sport they both shaped and were shaped by
She helped change behavioral expectations for female athletes, and by extension women in all workplaces, by exuding power and passion—and bringing her full self—to her hard-court office

19-year-old Leylah Fernandez will face the 18-year-old Emma Raducanu on Saturday for the title.
It will be the first all-teen final at the #USOpen since 1999, before either was born, when a 17-year-old Serena Williams beat an 18-year-old Martina Hingis.

I feel like this undersells it, though.
Hingis was #1 and Serena was #7 at the 1999 #USOpen, that final wasn't much of a shock at all.
Having a final between two teens ranked #73 and #150 is a whole different kettle of oat milk.

For @abbyalbino, co-founder of @Rise_Tribe empowering Filipino youth in Canada, Fernandez represents possibility. For women's sport and for youth to see greatness in themselves and beyond. “With all the anti-Asian hate, it’s a win we all needed."

Raducanu was untouchable at #USOpen so far, but this is her first match here (and first career match) against a top-40 foe.
And Bencic is a gold medalist just last month, so not just any top-40 player.
Bencic has put pressure on her right from the jump, instilling some doubt.

He used a different stance while striking the ball, along with different hand/arm positions. He studied the necessary requirements of projecting a golf ball, then he designed a brand new swing around those requirements, writes @DamoSpin.
