US Open Day 9: Tuesday, Sept 3 - Order of Play

[Moxie]

Well it will be Stan and Andy in the quarter. I agree Mox, Stan was chopping wood like a lumberjack out there.

And Andy had better sharpen up his own ax, or Stan's going to show him how they cut it up in Switzerland. Surely will be the most contested of all the men's QFs.

Novak just served out the first set without dropping one point on his serve. A good stat.

They announced after the match that he had 25 points in a row!

Here is one for you Nehemeth.

And this is the consolation he gave his opponent after beating him in just over an hour.

I also caught Andy afterwards in practice.

I guess we can give this one to Iona.

Barring surprises (which this fortnight has had its share of), I agree.

It's been quite a good year for Stan. He lost to Djokovic at the AO (in the match of the year, IMO), got to the QF of the French Open, losing to Nadal, and now finds himself in the QF again. Even his first round loss to Hewitt at Wimbledon was hardly embarassing.

I look forward to his match with Murray the most. In fairness, they don't exactly have stiff competition, as far as compelling QF's go.
