Also want to give a shout-out to Stevie Johnson who becomes the US #1 today by beating Tsonga. He really is having a good summer.

Impressive stuff from Stevie. What a summer for sure.

Nadal should have taken some vacantion in Manacor...bad schedule from his team (or from himself ??)

Not really. He had already been at home for three months and he has to get the wrist ready for all of the movements he's going to need. He got more time using his wrist and judging its strength, so in the end it was the better decision. Coming back from injury, it's not about wins or losses, but physically preparing for the end of the season.

But now I must to have good words for this guy

Me too, Carol. It's a wonderful tournament for him. I hope he continues his rich vein of form.

I've seen all 4 of Dimitrov's matches out here in Cincy. He is in very good form. The match with Lopez in the 2nd round is by far the best match I was at. Cilic is also playing great. That should be a good one.

Grigor continuing his great form.

Note to Coric: Beat Rafa and your tournament is over 9/10.

Andy Murray gets it done over Bernie Tomic 6-4 6-4.

 

[britbox]

Andy has won 21 matches in a row. Won Queens, Wimbledon, Rio and now in the Semis of Cinci.

borna coric..shame about the knee prob..he had some of that magic tape on his knee already. hope its only a niggle.

think his extra rank points push him into 35-40 range.

Andy Murray beat Milos Raonic 6-3 6-3



The streak continues. #22 on the spin.

 

[Moxie]

Really stunning from Murray. Roanic is not match for this. Andy is the player to beat, at the moment. Hopefully he doesn't go into the USO too tired.

Great win by Muzz, Rafa has to be very happy about that result

Why?

Great win by Muzz, Rafa has to be very happy about that result

Why would that make Rafa happy, in particular? Just curious.

 

[Carol]

Why?

Because if Raonic would have won then Rafa should have been the # 6 at the USO
