U S A Tennis Open.

[Butterbun]

Just a reminder. Who else will be watching it?

[Cloverjo]

I'll try to watch Murray's, Federer's and the British women's matches. Will also watch what I can depending on times and what else OH is watching.

[whurules]

Yes will be watching every minute of it so lots of late nights and two weeks of hell until the Swiss is out , hopefully sooner rather than later

[Butterbun]

Oh dear whurules, lol. You don't like him very much then? I'll be watching all the brits and hoping Andy is there at the deserves to be.

[Butterbun]

^^ there at the end. He deserves^^

[whurules]

Sorry butterbun I should have got back to you yes not looking him is an under statement, if nadal, verdasco,Ferrer,robredo,gimeno-traver

[jim360]

Not a good start for last year's finalists as Nishikori lost in the first round. Ah well.

[whurules]

And any other Spaniard doesn't win then I'll give you Murray !!

[-SharonA-]

I am. Just watched Venus Williams win. Shame about Heather Watson, I had high hopes for that girl.

[DTCwordfan]

can't watch Sharapova's knickers wafting around this year though, big turnoff therefore.....

[Butterbun]

Something to cheer cloverjo. Joanna Konta won her match, Laura one set up Pity about Heather but Andy plays later tonight.

Dragged myself outta bed to watch Andy. What a fast & frantic game this is. Andy has just won the first set.

[Cloverjo]

Well done to Andy and Johanna. I was disappointed by Laura. She should have won, being 4-0 up in the final set. Bedene was lucky with Gulbis's retirement.

[jim360]

Lack of match practice perhaps getting to Laura? Or nerves, even. Either way, a real shame. I hope she can get back to winning ways soon though. Well done Andy.

[Ken4155]

Wasn't keen enough to stay up half the night to watch it but well done Andy, indeed. Managed to get 11/4 for a 3-1 win - so earning money whilst i slumber:-)

[jim360]

Congratulations to Johanna Konta for advancing to the third round with a big win over Garbine Muguruza, one of the world's top ten. One more big result and she would be threatening to join the world's top 50, even!

Meanwhile, Andy Murray is in a bit of a battle against Mannarino, currently a set down and on serve in the second set, but he's had to come through a tough service game already... fingers crossed that he can pull through still!

[Ken4155]

2-0 down, now. Thankfully left him alone tonight and concentrated on the footy:-)

[-SharonA-]

I know Andy is playing terrible. Torn whether to continue watching this nightmare or watch Madam Secretary!!!

[jim360]

At least he's a break up in the third set, hope yet! If it comes down to a battle of endurance in the heat of New York then I'd back Murray even despite being two sets down. But it would be nicer if he weren't in this position... not seen any of the play yet so can't say if it's his bad play or Mannarino's good. Probably a bit of both.

At least I can invoke memories of his comeback against Verdasco in 2013 at Wimbledon. And we all now how things turned out that time.

[Ken4155]

Not watching it but alerted to Murray's fightback by the fluctuation in the betting. What's happened to Mannerino - has one of his legs fallen off?

[-SharonA-]

Murray is fighting back!!!! Equal pegging now!! 2 sets each. Tune in for the final set.
