Hi Britbox,yes i did,after the 1st set Tomic looked as if he was going to win easy.For Dan so far,he seems to be on fire atm.I've seen him get hot in the D/cup before,working out with Murray is helping him big time.

Good to see him progressing. Is John Tomic still banned or was he there?

Dan won again,that's Tomic gone.

Yep. Tomic gone. Querrey gone. Tomic didn't surprise me too much but Querrey was a bit of a surprise. Federer's path has opened a bit but I do want him to advance and take a shot at Nadal again. So one more seeded player is out on Day 2. 10 to 12 at least I take it so far on the men's side.

I know that John Tomic is in town, though not sure if he was in the box. I feel for Bernie. He comes off as unlikable, but I'm sure that's because of his dad, at least partly. I never liked Bartoli, until recently, and I realized it was because her father was so unappealing, and made her tight and hard to like. And just when she got shed of him, she hung up her racquets. I hope Bernie can get to a more mature place. Maybe by the AO, with crowd support, and make it about his tennis, then, and not the circus.

Andy's very good that way. Always trying to help out his friends anyway he can. A person who provides services to others no matter in what shape or form is a great human being. And Andy is all that.

Here's the man So cute. :heart:

Earlier today, Darren Cahill said he's banned from the USTA grounds, but Cahill saw him in town.

Raonic's dress sense is improving with each tournament. He's stopped wearing those wild and bright colour patterns.

And with that I bid you guys good night. Go Isner!

order of play is out for tomorrow:

Hewitt vs del potro is the night match.

http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/schedule/schedule11.html




this could be good if Hewitt is on.



this is unbelievable. they continue to show andy murray zero respect. they stuck him on the side court and his match is the 3rd match.

At least Murray isn't given the night match slot again - it would have been a worse call, particularly with the unpredictable weather.

that 3rd match still worries me mate:

it usually rains late in the afternoon in new york.



but you are right. he does not need anymore late night matches unless he can go on first at exactly 7 pm.


at any rate his path looks good at the moment. Leonardo mayer is little more solid off the ground than , say, somebody like llodra.

murray can get in a decent test if we can call it that.

Yeah, Murray has been mucked around too much for a defending champion, he can't afford any more weather delays right now.

I'm looking forward to the Hewitt/Delpo match.

that should be a cool battle to enjoy baron britbox.

Hewitt can still put on a show. he may have to play a bit of an assault oriented match tomorrow.


Hewitt can volley. he has great technique at the net.

so the trick tomorrow for him is to rush del potro and attack the net.





I was just reading about dan evans. he has a good chance against robredo.

evans is just 23. his star shines brightly. perhaps andy murray has inspired him a little too.
