US OPEN 2024 DRAW | BLACK SPIN GLOBAL PODCAST

should we get into what we we're going to get into get what we get into US Open draw I can't believe we're here already here man last grand of the year it's quite sad I'm actually sad the year is basically done basically blood yeah but let's get to it should we start with a women's draw let's go women first all right man oh you're leading it should I should I lead it of course come on man since let go seeds so Coco go mhm defending champ I say to be fair defending champ obviously she is but like I feel like that there's like there's a lot of weight on that so should we just say last year's Champion or am I being extra I think you're being extra I think you're being extra cuz it's Coco ignore me I feel like if it was any other player you would have think I what you mean I get what you mean especially is definitely getting more pressure right now I see what you're saying but no I I think I'm I'm I just like I always say I'm not worried about Coco go she could have the bigger slump but the fact that she I know she's got so much ability like she's going to be around for a long time she wants yeah she's still young yeah her draws looking good so she's got vvar Goa yeah the French I think yeah she's French but I'm pretty sure she's Russian um that's the first round for Coco so she's the third seed so she won't be seeing another seeded player until the third round Spina which I think that will be probably her her toughest one till she gets to the finals obviously but they played ear this year actually in yeah I mean fitland that was the Oakland final yeah falina is like an a whole different smoke she's currently playing in Monteray which is a 500 I was so surprised when I saw it's so funny everyone was like everyone was like so confused like the N meme like the hell what's that WT what I love about though that matches are going on UK time until like 4: 4:00 a.m. yeah like which is wild it's Mexico exactly yeah so okay it's literally in the potential third round okay I think I personally think that's going to be a toughest one but we'll see in it Jasmine poine the fifth seed look at Jasmine man Bianca andrescu oh my God I want to say that's the third no is that the third time that's the third grand slam they played this year grand slam they played the French did they play wimon I know they no yeah they played French and oh my gosh you're right sorry and wimon French and wimon both third rounds and now they're first round [ __ ] oh BL o sorry I mean we can swell on the um um yeah so Wimbledon was a straight set and the French was a fre Setter fre Setter how do you how do we feel like this where do we where do we feel this one it's tough to say because andris likeing well it she's no is she's playing playing okay she's not playing obviously her best as before probably the best as she's placed in a very long time US Open Champion she 2019 yeah we're in 2024 um hey Lucy respectfully a champ no but what I'm trying to no no no you know me I always say once you have a Granda no one can tell you anything but I'm saying more in terms of like her performance recently and what I'm trying to say is risu right now is a thing of like she can get on Court and play her best she can get on court when she's playing her best but she can her opponent can still beat her so for me it's kind of tough yeah she's not coming in on the in in the best form in the best form so it's going to be a very tough match for her one of her toughest for sure but again first round US Open but it's Pini man come on different different so yeah looking forward to that match who can she get actually who's the seed that she can get in the third round Jazzy I didn't check not that I cuz I I hate looking at like projected draws I didn't I didn't check her the rest of her projected but I think I checked but it's probably nothing crazy if not I would have I I would have said it was something crazy uh cuz I when I checked earli it was probably put in saver yeah I remember seeing that yeah he was actually be beat Naomi didn't she was it in in Canada yeah but we'll see we'll see anyways who's next um 14th seed Madison Keys so she takes on katar Us in the Arc of her MH and Key's actually someone again like I don't feel like we pay enough attention to like she just kind of she's had some injury issues actually I disagree that's what I'm saying I'm about say what are you talking about it's she's she's had some injury issues um she pulled out or she retired from her match in was it mon War Toronto I forgot get mixed up where the men and women were but yeah but you in Canada she she was playing paint and Sterns yeah it went to the third set she retired well she was free loved down and she retired yeah and then before that she didn't play since W yeah I know but you said like oh we don't really focus on her yeah yeah I agree bro not that we don't focus on it but feel all the other platform you probably swi about the of no facts that's a that's a fact but I just feel like she's a player that like because she's been around for so long and like you just almost expect her to kind of be there like kind of you kind of take her for granted in terms of like progressing especially deeper SL she's pretty much guaranteed to make second week talking about in general not talking about B was like what no no no yeah I'm saying we as in like media land well one thing you need to keep in mind as well is that the issue with keys as well for example this this U I won't say issue but one thing to point out is for example this season she would play play play they not play for so long before before this trailer open oh no before no she started Miami open she even play open exactly do you get what I mean we we didn't hear indanes Indian Welles so that's what I'm saying I think that's I think there's that as well but I I hate what you mean I hate what you mean um but yeah I mean with with with her her match is a bit hard because Sak OFA double specialist how do you think she's going to play in that match it's a tough one but I'm expecting keys to come through because I'm thinking of the crowd as well being in America I just hope I just I think just depends on the condition with an injury and that too we don't know what what kind of state she's in physically that's a good point that's a very good point let's see how that goes but yeah it will still be interesting one anyways um Naomi oaka two-time Champion can I say before we even continue I don't know why in the world did you guys think Asaka was not going to get a wild card who was saying that like B people was like oh cuz cuz obviously her rank is like she couldn't they like oh I think cuz she lost a qualifying match they were scared that she was going she had to play qualify for US Open I kept on seeing I was like we are talking about one of the most aside from even even forget that bro four time Grand Champion she won US opened twice and she's literally one of the most popular tennis player right now and when I'm talking about that I'm not talking about us tennis players I mean US Tennis fans I'm talking about people who are the locals like we call them they know about wasaka like I she was the first name on that on that email that said yeah yeah she's got the you get what I mean I was just like bro like come on like guys so just to you know just a little reminder is Naomi a sucker put some respect on her name bro but yeah so who dides she get the first round please temp c p incredible scenes oh my gosh that means Wayne might pull up he prob will will [ __ ] that's a a great a great you might pull up see you soon Lil Wayne on our TV screens but um stepo is not liking that what do you mean Osaka first round as a 10 seed you think Osaka's not liking that a the penom saying you think yeah's not like I think both I think it's going to be a crazy it's going be a great match kenko has not been playing as good since grass like her like she be playing well this season even though it's been up and down yeah yeah Wim and she reached the quarterfinals yeah so Cincinnati she lost first round Canadian open t said knocked her out um even doubles she's not really been playing as good so yeah [Music] interesting where you going with that one I don't know really I'm going to go a Saka I really don't know I'm going a Saka I feel like she's just going to bring it I feel like she's going to bring it because it's AA Panko and it's a big dra and that too that's going to help massively cuz I feel like she's someone where when it's like her some of her best results in terms of like her best being back CU always being against the top players like I feel like when she plays a smaller play she's not as motivated and T TFO said it too to go back to TFO quickly but he was like yeah the the best player is bring out the best in him and I think that's how every single player feels and I know Asaka feels that way too yeah yeah so I think that that's why I feel like okay it would be good but yeah either way looking forward to that that's definitely probably one of the most like uh popcorn first round for sure definitely definitely who's next um so yeah on well these players aren't seated now but yeah Tay Townsen who's having a great year to be fair top 50 now um she takes on Martina trevisan the Italian I think that's a very good draw for Town's end but I swear they I swear um Trevor San beat her last time yeah she did she did which was even on Hardcore which was where in in the states that was last year Cincinnati three sets well that was last year Lucy Taylor towns is a grand slam well doubles Grand Slam champion this year like the ball's different oh speaking of tlor T how can I forget shout out to the WTA for collaborating post with us on Taylor t damn that was that was sick that was really sick that was I really thought you guys made a mistake I called Eugene I was like I'm giving it 5 10 minutes they might remove us cuz I think there was a glitch stop it but shout out to them for that that was really sick that was nice shout out to the WTA our people is them very but yeah you're right it's last year um Taylor's been playing really well this Hardcore Season ever since a wimon win like I said I feel like it's been really yeah um and it's US Open she's made it I think she that was her best in terms of grand slams in singles that that that's like her best performance um you know is home so yeah you're right yeah she she should should be able to like to win this match she had a dad I think in Cincinnati as well cute yeah watching watching her for a lot of her matches which was nice okay um Sloan Stevens now again former Champion she's got claraa Burell the French French woman in the first round decent draw she for Salo I think I don't think so really the next round do you know has I'm saying CL Bell is a that's that's a good opener that's a good opener next round AAR ranko three years from AAR ranko Stevens and aaro they always play against it's ridiculous what's their head to head is it not like didn't we speak about it one it was like crazy we did actually yeah so their head-to head is 54 um or maybe more last they last played at the last that I believe but anyways they have a crazy ha Head to Head last play was wimon which as a ranker one um but yes anyways when I saw r two as a ranker I was just like God and I and I know so was the same oh she had so and she released like some skin yeah her B line skin brand yeah yeah I I see her you know she does have flourishing skin to be fair not bad they actually their match got canceled at with wooden that's why it's coming up here as a it's weird because as a Rinker pulled out she did and I was celebrating so who so who were we talking about I don't know too too much tennis okay too much okay cool all right cool makes sense so she lost in the second round to Diana Schneider yes that's it but she beat a French girl in the first round Elsa Jacko the young French girl okay cool okay so yeah that's that was that's weird on the website though it's [ __ ] up this see that's what yeah I was like I thought I'm going crazy anyways cool whatever so that's that's how women done but we'll see we'll see unfortunately no women made it through qualifying as in for well from a black spin Global perspec either way let's shut them out Haley Baptist made it to the final round where she just she lost to Maya joint in the final round we had CLA V who played he Watson in the first round he Watson got that win yeah and then she lost after that uh Montgomery that was very close as well the second round second round that was really close three sets uh and man we we I wish he got because that that that that fill of Kit was nice yeah I feel like with bomy though and I was going to Tweet this if she made it through and I'm just going to say it now I don't I feel like this is going to be the last year she's playing like qualifying for Grand Slams I feel like she's going to make break into the top 100 by the end of the year I she's pretty close she's close yeah yeah she's pretty close yeah um vicory as well she lost first round Lost first round um Tyra gr but she lost his second round to baptist so yeah you know how they do they like to put our black players stop it there's also an American who we haven't spoken about before oh okay yeah um and I want to say it's a Nigerian surname so let me just find it okay but while J looks for that shout out to them um don't know why it's taking so long to all these players you know kind of kind of tough out here especially that with the wild cards and stuff because I actually thought do you know who I thought was going to get a wild card out of those girls that putting out in the thingy who Montgomery same yeah same I actually thought she would but you have all of these other players and stuff I yeah it's looking kind of heavy still the um American I I want to shout out is Akasha I hope I'm saying that right aobo that is a Nigerian name oh I'm not sure if that's I want to say that's could be EO but yeah so she she played she made she lost in the first round to Priscilla Han how old is she of Australia is she young uh how old is she good question oh she's only 17 yeah okay she's a young girl so we'll keep an eye on a name exactly to keep an eye on um so yeah let's move on to the men now seeds Ben 13th seed mhm Dominic team the retiring Dominic team in the first round interesting and again team's a former champ US Open Champion that face Lucy boy respectfully you know I love team team I team team like I was watching all of his matches I it breaks my heart he won the that that was a CO year he won yeah breaks my heart knowing that this guy is retiring this year but come on yeah yeah we going to about you know but yeah but me and Eugene talked about this earlier and I was like ra I kind of feel like Shelton's jaw is looking a bit tough still the entire thing a little bit but he wasn't really agreeing for with me but until I saw the third round obviously like or potential third round potential yeah we'll get to but yeah 19th seed Felix oim he takes on yakob menik talented cck player I think I feel Felix is he's in a good spot at the moment so I'm I'm expecting him to come through that although that is not going to be easy because menik is a good player um but I think Felix is like he's found he's finding his form again so I feel good about Felix's game right now yeah CFO back in the top 20 20th seed uh he's got Alexander kovic fer American and yeah could potentially face Ben Shelton in in the third round provided they both get there so that means one of them is guaranteed not to make it to the second week which is crazy very unfortunate yeah um but we'll see like yeah I mean that that's going to be a potential third round Blockbuster old American Affair like sure it' be big mhm um AR Feast the 24th seed huge he takes on larna Tien again another American I'm excited to see Feast actually um yeah so I feel like yeah he's his game is going to I I think his his game will match up well like in the states if not this year but in the future like definitely mhm um let's stay with the French Frenchman so gmon Fe who had a really good run actually um where did he play really well well as of recently well he beat Carlos squz didn't he yeah he did but at same day oh was it C was it not Cincinnati ciny exactly yeah yeah so he beat Alexi poin in the first round poin just won yeah prev the previous Masters in Montreal no was it Montreal Canada it was Montreal not Toronto and then yeah caros sakz in the second round in three sets Al although that match was played over two days but huge win for for lamon and then lost to eventual semi-finalist to garun again in three sets so m is actually he's playing pretty well um right now he's got a qualifier in the first round who hasn't been placed yet I don't think qualifiers have been placed because I think they even still playing or they're about to wrap up good point so we don't know who one Feast plays but it will be a qualifier it could be Gabriel deell they better not who made it through better shouts out they better not hopefully not um staying with the Frenchman Giovani pety pericard he has Thomas Martin eer that's tough the Argentine I think that's going to be a five Setter I'm I'm calling it right now yeah so again this this is pety Perard's first time in a main draw without having to qualify so he's got through in his ranking which we spoke about wi he excited looking forward to so fantastic um and then Christopher Eubanks a wild card rightly so who's playing very well at the moment too so he's currently in Winston Salem as we record this he's into the quarterfinals Winston Salem um but yeah he's got aridic n of want in the first round again that's got a long for me that's a probably a five Setter as well and then guess who's next Who's Next rubl oh R again yeah again I'm telling you bro don't understand but there's one more name Lucy Wild Card Matthew Forbes who we we spoke about during a Wimbledon pod so he was playing Junior Wimbledon I think he got to the second or third round Junior Wimbledon mhm um but yeah he he's got a wild card cuz he won the like USA like warm I say warm warmup event it was like a US Open main draw like winner winner gets a place in the main draw of the US Open basically so you have to play like other Americans for the spot and yeah he won it so shouts out to him the brother of Abigail Forbes former okay yeah she's a junior doubles Wimbledon champion um so yeah he's got Romance safin of Russia I say Russia we don't say Russia do we yes we do what's the term no there's a term NE is it a neutral exactly was it neutral girl well no flag but yeah that that's Matthew I'm very much looking forward to seeing Matthew Forbes so yeah that would be that would be cool to see and that's a good opportunity for him too I think he's 18 or 17 so young boy um first well this has be his US Open debut so very exciting mhm um and that wraps up the draw Lucy although we should shout out Gabby o because he made it through qualifying he made it for qualifying shout out to him shout out to all my guinean people out there jeez for those who don't know you know that's hard yeah my mom's half teally is half guinean I actually did live in Guinea for a little bit you know really yeah but I had to leave that play during them times there was no electricity but no war just struggle there but I love my I love my country still good food crazy people so well traveled man like flip bilingual traveled like flip it out incredible you really are blacks spin Global black SP Global for real now you know what I think CU I just grew up in such a multicultural background so yeah but shout out to shout out to him he he got W when he was in Canada right yeah when he was there yeah so yeah so lost first round but yeah yeah nice to see him you know get in that and yeah hopefully he doesn't get like a tough first round like because I think I hope he not jovic true yeah and I think who else is there alarz as well he's got a qualifier yeah but you know what whatever man we'll see we'll see at least his name will be out there anyway lot lot more people would know him so but yeah a few players that didn't make it through qualifying so he had job I think he lost second round quties um po job that is Elias Sim I think he lost first round quades we also had Calvin Emory um of France I think it's 28 or 29 he lost in the second round of quality as well so my voice just went there sorry about that um so yeah shouts out to all the guys unfortunately didn't make it through to qual well make it through qualifying but shouts out to the for making it through um and yeah Lucy that wraps up
