US OPEN - Main thread - 29th Aug- 11th Sept 2011

Why did Soderling withdraw?

Leaves that section quite open,

Del Potro, Isner, Simon all with a chance of reaching the quarter finals.... maybe even Baggy!

Marray and Delgado lose the second set on a tie break.

Great win for Canuck Vasek Pospisil 6-1 6-2 6-1. Sally was right to pick him as her WC.

Delgado and Marray are a break down in the 3rd.
Colin and Ross just starting on Ct 10.

D and M now back on serve

And they break to win!! Well done lads

First set to Fleming and Hutchins

Yay, well done Delgo & Marray

Come on Flembo & Ross

Just as well I didn't have her winning any more matches in BOTP

Sabine would have beaten her anyway!

Dunno, but I'd be wary of eating anything from the Players' Restaurant. . .

Great win for Andy last night. Not surprised at slow start as first match bound to be tension whoever is on the other side of net. Made some great shots.

First time since 2001 they went out in the first round. Shocker. It's a shame that the USO doubles matches aren't best of five sets coz I bet they'd have come back to win.

Thought Michael Russell put up a good fight vs Roddick last night. Roddick is not looking great gotta say. Went to bed before the Shriek fest.

would love Fognini to beat berdy although I think I picked Berdy for my joker! 5 - 5 at the moment

Mats Wilander picking Andy as his favourite - don't think I like that - could be the kiss of death!

This is an excellent match between Monfils & Ferrero

oop for Friday - Andy 3rd on Louis Armstrong

This has got to be the match of the tournament, absolutely amazing tennis by both players.
