US Open day 11: the social round-up

It was women’s semifinals day at the US Open and all eyes were on four American women aiming for Grand Slam glory…

Jamie Murray almost got his predictions right:

Amazing opportunity for all 4 women tonight. Both matches can be epics. I'm predicting VW and Keys to prevail. @usopen #nyc

Andy Roddick went with a foolproof plan for his predictions:

American women doing work …. can't wait for the semis tonight @usopen. I predict that USA wins! #winwin

An epic between Sloane Stephens and Venus Williams had everyone feeling nervous:

That was a gutsy effort from @SloaneStephens ! In a boot at Charleston working @TennisChannel– now 1st major final. SOME comeback! ????????????

Meanwhile, the old #tbt (throwback Thursday) hashtag got a work out from tennis stars…

Donald Young was looking back to 10 years ago:

But Kevin Anderson is firmly living in the moment  –  and as he experiences a career-best Grand Slam run, how can you blame him:

Still sinking in! Thanks to the fans who stayed late last night in NYC and everyone for your support. Excited to keep going ???? #usopen pic.twitter.com/X6TaLbEya2
