US Open Day 3: Wednesday, August 27

[Front242]

It is hard to believe it was Dimitrov's first ever win at the Open today...

Yeah, was shocked by that too.

Grigor has underperformed a few years ago, especially in slams. I thought it was a known fact.

 

[herios]

I think Stan will have a loooong night ahead.

He looks determined to cut short this match. His service games are as quick as Roger's in his prime.

That was 10 minutes ago, and Stan fell behind in the 3rd set, now 1-4 and playing from behind this entire set.
My wish for a loooong match may come true after all.
Oooops another break. 5-1


Come on Thomaz, take your time.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

Stanley is 1-5 down in 3rd set ??..and there was me leaving the live coverage with stan cruising at 2 sets up..yikes,

must be 11.30pm or 12.30am ?...leaking into day 4 for this rd one match.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

it's right at 11:40 and we shall have a 4th set.
Thomaz takes 3rd set 6-3
Right on schedule JLLB
it's early in the morning in UK, huh?

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

yeh 4or5 hours..stan must be thrilled at the disrespect of the organisers..

so much for perks for being a major winner.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

That was 6 months ago, what has Stan done late? lose, lose and lose.

Front242,
this is what you get for all the bashing you did to Pova, she advanced, her boyfriend advanced and YOU had to stay late to catch Waw do a Wow!
Me too!


Wawrinka is back to business, holds at love.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

that failed dropshot went round a corner on the bounce lol

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

wow stan is broken..:s this seemingly routine match is getting a bit interesting.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Wake up Stan you should be in the locker room now.

Well, I've been saying he'd have a tough match today. He's totally inconsistent. He played a great set and 2 games in the AO final and a great match against Novak and that's about it. Wasn't impressed by him anywhere else this year except that 3rd set TB in his last match.

Roller coaster ride shall start.
Trust me you!

Some complain at the disrespect of not getting a marquee match, too. (Either not Ashe, or not night.) Night in NY is considered special, (as it is in Oz.) If Wawrinka is going to let it go too late, that's his fault. Bellucci is talented, but Wawrinka can't be giving it away.

He can't convert his breaks,
It's officially midnight in NY!

Moxie, folks tend to forget, this is the city that NEVER sleeps.

 

[Front242]

Wawrinka is now getting waxed. Make it a Brazilian.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

we should be poasting in the 4th day thread..bwahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Though, in tennis-sleeping terms, I still think we're not as bad as Melbourne. We try to get you out of your match just in time the make the sweet-spot of a good club. :celeb:

And Wawrinka is back in the 4th!

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Waw gets break back.

now serving to get ahead in the 4th tied 3-3

 

[Moxie]

Both are really sweating. Bellucci's momentum just collapsed. If Stan doesn't get it done in 4, that will be a knock on his stock.
