US Open Day 8: Monday, September 1

I hope Nishikori can stop a Raonic rampage later on. Wouldn't be at all surprised if Stan went down to Robredo, to be honest.

Now that Andy won this match, I am rooting for him in the quarterfinals.

I'm fully expecting Robredo to win. Likewise hoping Nishikori wins. He has a good shot I'd say.

There is a reason the h2h is what it with Murray v Tsonga. Andy played well and there were some stunning shots. He will have to step it up when he plays Novak.

BTW why am I still seeing Becker on Sky Sports? I thought I had seen the last of him. Increase his hours please Novak.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Stan gets broken, and then wins 3 straight games to close out the set. Some guys need a wake up call...

 

[Fefe26]

Tsonga is such a disappointment.

Tsonga is such a disappointment.

Maybe you could do better:laydownlaughing

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Robredo 5-3 in set 2, can he close out this time....

 

[GameSetAndMath]

It is one set all now. Tommy almost had a love game, no choking here.

 

[Fefe26]

Tsonga is such a disappointment.

Maybe you could do better:laydownlaughing

he has all the talent and potential, why can't he just put it together... ggrrrrrrr. murray did play well though.

 

[Front242]

Why can't he put it together? Poor shot selection, poor serving today (yesterday here now) and often pretty damn poor tennis iq.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

So impressed with Robredo, win or lose.

I think he'll win. Only just started watching.

He'll have to come back again if he is to win today...He is no stranger to come backs.

 

[Front242]

Nice TB. Still not sure Stan will win though.

Stan was bending over and stretching his legs and he's been prone to leg issues last couple of years. Wouldn't be surprised if his movement starts giving up a bit and Robredo is definitely capable of outlasting him.

Nice TB. Still not sure Stan will win though.

Winning that set was key. Stan's had the trainer 3 times. It's very hot and humid. If it goes 5, Robredo takes it, I think, but Stan may get it done in the 4th.

Robredo pooched that tiebreak. Hopefully he can win this next set.

Massaging his legs I guess? Wasn't watching till late in the last set so I missed those times with the trainer but given he has a history of leg problems I can only assume that was it.

Made a bit of a mess of it at the end for sure. Was expecting him to win it well before it started.
