US Open Day 3: Wednesday, August 27

[herios]

Klizan serving 6-5 in the 4th now :nono

The butterflies must have a nest in Darcis's stomach. He was up a break in both 3rd and 4th sets.

 

[Front242]

^ He was up 5-2 in set 4 as well. Nothing against Klizan but Darcis' return from injury was impressive after nearly a year off from shoulder surgery and he had to come through qualifying too so I'd prefer to see him win but looking dodgy now.

 

[Front242]

Klizan won set 4 7-5 and 5th set now. Probably game over for Darcis. Still think there must've been a MTO 'cos it did say interrupted for a while on tennis.com live scores earlier.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Swiss #3 lost despite breaking his opponent more times than getting broken.

Answer to puzzle: He won a set with a break, but lost three sets in tie breakers and
one of them was a marathon tie break going close to 20.

Jerzy comes through in 4

A grand slam winner just lost on center court. bird in three.

JJ makes the second round for the first time at the USO. He beat Lajovic in 4 sets.

He is still a fighter, but in slams, not a threat anymore.

Isn't it true that there are only 4 GS winners left in the field now and
half of them are from Switzerland?

 

[Front242]

Bummer. As expected Klizan wins the 5th set 6-4 against Darcis And Darcis was well ahead. Sucks. Good for Klizan though of course.

I've been following the score online, since it wasn't televised, but it must have been quite an effort for Klizan to come back from two sets down. Darcis must be upset, but at least he's back playing.

Yes, and 25% from Serbia, and 25% from Scotland.

Yeah, no streams anywhere either so likewise was just checking the score. Big come back alright. Hope there's some write up about it.

sometime ago, you guys were talking as though he was playing in the final set. But,
they were just playing fourth set at that time. Come on guys.

It could've been the final set. He was up 4-2 in set 3 and 5-2 in set 4. He must be pretty gutted. On a side note I just ate 250lbs of pork mince and a 250g bag of pilau rice lol! Ronnie Coleman would be proud! Yeah buddy! Got carried away but probably a truckload of protein right there haha.

:wow:

^ Big leg session in the gym. Needed major calories and food intake afterwards. Final set on the leg press was 410kg x 10. Pretty happy with that as I'm only 79kg myself.

 

[Front242]

Enjoying watching an irritated Sharapova losing before the next good men's match starts.

****News alert***

Jack Sock, who retired with a calf injury yesterday in singles, is back on court practising with Vasek Pospisil and he will be good to go tomorrow in doubles.

It is funny that both of them showed some promise before coming into USO and
both flamed out in R1.

Hey might as well try doubles even if injured. Anyway, there is not much to do
(unless playing will aggravate the injuries).
