She won.   Pegula is 31 and I am hoping it is her time to win a Grand Slam major.

Jessica plays Sabalenka tonight in the semifinals. Sabalenka is the #1 ranked player, will be well rested because her QF opponent withdrew, and is the person who eliminated her last year in the US Open.

 

It's an uphill battle, but Jessica won their last meeting, in Cincy a week and a half ago.

Pretty much all the rest of the US Open has been on ESPN.  Don't see why this wouldn't be as well.

EDIT:  No data on when the match starts, but ESPN's broadcast of it starts at 7PM.

Idk man, at 31 she's ancient in the tennis world. That Russian is the KC chiefs of the court for her.

This weekend will let everyone know that the Blue Jays are, indeed, the real deal.

There is a very real chance that the Brewers (who would have thunk it) and Jays meet in the WC.

Were you evan alive in 1991 and / or 1992 ??

Baring some strange thing happening the Jays will either be 2 or 4 games up on the dreaded Yankees.

Is it too early to talk about 'magic numbers' ??  It must be about 30 now.  Baseball is exciting when it's close in September.
