let's bring in cnn's carolyn manno. well, frances tiafoe has always been a very gifted tennis player. therar very few overnight sensations in the sport, jake. but now he's playing with a confidence and a belief in himself and a focus that is really allowing him to utilize all those gifts in a way that i don't think he has so far in his young career. he's got such a big serve. he's got incredible footwork. he put himself in excellent position on the court against rafa, who is a player that you can never take for granted that can climb his way out of just about anything. but he can win this thing. he really could. the crowd is going to be on his side. he's always been a showman. he lofds to engage with the crowd. as we've seen over the last week or so, the u.s. open crowd, when they embrace a player they can really lift a player. his chances are really good. but further than that, you touched on his backstory. it is remarkably compelling. his parents fled civil war from sierra leone. he grew up in maryland playing at a ten

. >> cnn's carolyn manno was at the match and joins us for this morning's bleacher report. i think it is going to be, you know, her last grand slam, even though she left the door open. athletes can't play forever. we know this. as much as we might want them to. and she's going to be remembered for being so gritty and so tough and just inspiring us all. to fight the way that she did, what better way to go out than that. she's nearly 41 years of age. so to play the way she did against a player 11 yoears her junior is just remarkable and the crowd was so loud, the loudest i have heard this entire week by far. they were trying to do everything they could to will her to another win. she lost the first set to the australian, but she dug so deep like she has done so many times in her career. she wasn't going down without a fight. she played some of the best points that she has played in the tournament to get to that second set and this incredible tiebreak. even when she was struggling in the third set, she was never d down and out. she staved off five match points before she final

carolyn manno was one of them. what was it like to be in the middle of all of this?> it was unbelievable. i mean, what brianna said at the top the longevity piece is so important. she is in the pantheon of the all time greats but has outlasted michael jordan and tom brady. now she's 40 years old. that sound bite, that's the key to the whole game. she is playing with a freedom that comes with having nothing to prove and nothing to lose. when you think about the fact that she has been playing tennis for five american presidents, for close to 30 years, more gold medals, i mean, she has carried the burden of being a global ambassador, a voice for women, carrying the expectations to win every single slam for so many decades that now she just feels like she is relax and you saw that on the court because in the third set she was just moving so freely. >> you will talk to me more about that because you were there and saw all of this. a three-set match, won the first set in a tiebreaker, lost the second and i think a lot of people were thinking, okay, the magic, you know -- w

. >> cnn sports correspondent carolyn manno was there. these questions jealously this morning, carolyn. it is amazing to hear serena williams say, you know, i'm super competitive, which, of course, is, you know, we knew that and you've shown it. tell us what it was like to be there last night. >> well, i think that sound bite really says it all. what it felt like, it felt more like a boxing ring than a tennis court. the atmosphere has been unbelievable. but this is the final bow that the greatest the sport has ever seen deserves. and the fact that she feels so mentally free to embrace this moment and try to enjoy this moment, while also performing at the level that we're seeing her perform at is just incredible. when you think about her career, jim and poppy, spanning nearly three decades at the professional level, spanning five american presidents, and you talk about the grand slam singles titles and the four olympic gold medals, there are so much to what she's been carrying that it has been so heavy for her and we're getting that insigh

joining me now, cnn sports correspondent carolyn manno -- serena is playing a lot of tennis. >> yeah,ou see? what do you think of the match tonight? >> it's tough to beat a quality opponent when you haven't played doubles together in more than four years. it was a tough match for them. i was struck by a couple of things i. wasn't surprised by the way they left the port sport. -- serena's first match. they acknowledge the crowd, the waves, it was very businesslike, there was no tears. and that's very much in line with venus. he's very different from serena in that way. she doesn't need all of that. and coming into the tournament, she could not retire and just telling anybody. that's who she is. but as i was watching them tonight, i was a little bit sentimental about it. i started thinking about the beginning of their careers. they are 42 and 40 years old. but here is a thing that we watched, serena, oh, venus's career. her and demand. and we saw venus come along, or serena i should say. >> and i look at venus as the initial trail believes are. the one that was so talented first. and wh

cnn's carolyn manno was at the match and she joins us now for this morning's bleacher report.ere, but it was one of the greatest moments in sports i think i've ever seen and it ended in defeat. that's the thing. what's going to be remembered about that match is this grittiness, this toughness, this resilience, this never say die mentality that serena williams had that's only reserved for the all-time greats. that's what she is. to go out there and dig so deep to come back in that second set and win on a tiebreak and end on this epic game where she just wouldn't quit, staving off five match points. that's what she does. she's been a fighter her entire life. you think about this crowd, amara and boris, that was there last night. they were so loud. the loudest that i have seen all week. serena lost that first set. you have to give her opponent so much credit, but she fought back, won in a tiebreak and had the momentum heading into the third. ultimately her opponent just dominated the third and was finally able to finish her off on the fifth match point. 3:05. i mean, you talk abo

carolyn manno was there last night and joining us with more. it was like a time machine you said. >> yeah, she jumped in to a time machine. she was moving around like crazy, she looked better than even monday. and i think that she is playing with this incredible freedom. she's felt pressure for decades and i think that that is one of the things that is making the biggest difference. if you think about nearly three decades of dominance for long enough, it is mind boggling. she won the first of her six u.s. opens and tom brady wasn't even in the nfl yet. if she keeps playing like this, who knows how long the farewell will last. she is dictating it, she is going out the way that she wants to. it was certainly another sellout record setting crowd. the place was so loud. tiger woods sitting with venus. all the stars with are there about. they were all there for the legend that they love. she went toe to toe with the second ranked player in the world and in the end serena won in three sets moving on with the another chance to win a record-tying 24 gr

carolyn manno was there for all the action. >> and this was so fun to watch.nking so much about their legacy. it was so great to watch them have one last go at it. there has been so much attention on serena likely playing her final singles tournament, and this is also the last time that that we'll probably see her on the court with her big sister venus. they have won 14 major titles together. but last night's first round match under the lights, their first together in 4 1/2 years and that is really tough st especially at 42 and 40 years old. the sisters had never lost a grand slam final coming into this contest, but it wasn't to be. and give their phones some credit, they played really well. the sisters eliminated by a czech pair. and serena talked about the fine line of balancing the appreciation and the support that she's received. >> i've been doing a bit of both before i think i've mostly been kind of blocking everything out. but then at the same time, i've been embracing a little bit of it because i also want to enjoy the moment. yeah, i think that these
