Tennis: US Open - sick as a small hospital

[JaneJeffer]

I couldn't resist, it's something we say in Ireland, sorry

Ah I love Coco, hope she wins!

Coco is playing well, I think she just needs to stay nice and steady and let the mistakes come from Aryna.

Wow! That was an impressive game.

The noise must be deafening. I wonder if it is starting to affect Aryna? She seems calm enough.

It must be tough in Aryna. It's not that the crowd are against her but still.

Sabalenka now seems to be getting a bit rattled.

Come on Coco!

No, I think it's understandable they are behind Coco.

But- after the year Osaka beat Serena, we know the crowds can be a bit hostile.
Probably better for Aryba to be losing!

*Aryna

I'm glad this has gone to a 3rd set though, one sided finals are a huge disappointment -unless it's Rafa

Oh God yeah we don't want a repeat of that!

It's always a relief when Rafa wins in straight sets and far better for the nervous system

I'm hoping we get to see it once or twice in the next year.

I thought Aryna was going to start bawling into the towel there

Aryna looks nice with the towel on her head

That looks like a pot of tiger balm.

I love the smell of tiger balm.

Good advert for tiger balm

Ugh, hopefully that time out hasn't messed with the momentum.

Brilliant

Aww well done Coco!

Amazing. Well done Coco, so well deserved.

Yay!!

Big congrats to Coco. Every inch a champion.

I feel a bit sad for Sabalenka, she's totally unravelled here.

Oh bless her.

Aww. Her dad.

I know Aryna will have something funny to say

Blimey, Rolex got un quick with that ad!

Stayed up late score watching this -just SO happy that Coco won.

Off to bed now - just hope Daniil can make me even happier demain!
