- Emma Navarro has every right to the stance she took. Much of tennis news about players' interactivity with each other or the politics of the sport or the competition environment is common-place and features more often than just occasionally. There was alot of this kind of thing around the time when handshaking between Russia and Ukraine was banned on account of political tensions/sensitivities. Tennis is on the whole a very emotional sport and has a playing field doused in emotional grit, determination, mine-fields, roller-coasters and what not in spite of the fact that consistency in self-control and mental toughness is also part & parcel of the match process. I support Emma Navarro's right to owning her own perspective and I think if Serena Williams was allowed as much right to the many instances of her losing her cool at this person and that throughout her long career, then Emma Navarro has just as much right to stand her ground, state her cause and play her game the way she knows best. And besides, she was not contravening the rules of fair-play or even gaining unfair advantage by cheating in any way, shape or form. She was simply asserting her perspective on some communication issue, which btw, she is well within her rights to do. What's more, she's spot-on insofar as locker-room camaraderie goes - there ought to be an ethical attitude held by all the players on tour of common human decency and respect towards all other players full-stop, otherwise sporting integrity is compromised.
- What an exciting turn of events at the US Open 2024! Daniil Medvedev’s potential rise in the ATP rankings adds an extra layer of thrill to the tournament. With Alexander Zverev quarterfinal exit, Medvedev has a golden opportunity to climb to the second spot if he clinches the title. His current form and determination make this a very real possibility.

Who else is excited to see how this unfolds?
- Hall of Fame?
Why risk the Integrity of current Hall of Famers by inducting such a person?
- Politicians can Double-Down and get away with it. Navarro, not so much.
She lost many enthusiastic fans who were 100% behind her recent successes; myself included. It was exciting to see her excel. No longer the case for many. Airing personal issues with another player (and ridiculous claims at that) are appalling and disingenuous at best. Sorry Emma but you showed a bit too much of your True Self in that condescending act at the net with Zheng.
- A US player in the final. That is a long time ago, I guess
