TENNIS- The hard court season is in full swing on the run up to the US Open.

[Raahh]

This match is very up and down.

Come on Andy! Even if he finishes in straight sets it’s still been a long one. I suspect that he’s had enough if Moutet’s drama llama antics

Ooh tennis VAR - looks a bit clunky - still hard to tell if it’s a double bounce

Definitely a double bounce!

Wish they’d hurry up.

Might not have been the best idea to test this out on the impatient New York crowd - think the umpire is phoning a friend

What a weird situation.

I’m not sure if the umpire was seeing the same thing as we were Ice or whether she didn’t want to make a decision?

Eek come on Andy!

Phew! Well done Andy. Made heavy work of that, felt like he was trying to set a record for missed break points.

Phew well done Andy! Think Ivan almost stood up there at the end!

Well done Andy. I didn't see much of the match.

I see Grigor's match is still going and is level at the moment.

Andrey is winning but the commentators are very critical of him!

Oh dear even Kim’s swishy hair is not standing up to the NY humidity - all his kids are with them

Might need to check out Grigor’s match - if I can find it

I think Sky are trying to copy the Eurosport cube - they all seem a bit uncomfortable standing up

Tim was giving a presentation about how Andy's serve has changed earlier on which I had to switch off because it was so boring. They need to get someone a bit rowdy in there to liven things up like Mac, Boris or Pat Cash.

Bublik is at a loose end

Tie break to decide the Molcan/Dimitrov match

Jordan Thompson had to retire

It's amazing how much noise a few Bulgarians can make

Well done Grigor

He's barely fit to move after that 4 hours, 40 minutes

Was it something to do with his tache and the humidity Jane?

When I switched on yesterday it looked as if Konta was doing a PowerPoint presentation for a job interview for Tim and Martina about someone’s serve - I agree they need to liven it up a bit!

Well done Grigor!

He's still packing up his stuff. He looks exhausted.

Etcheverry and Virtanen walked out and then came to a standstill when they realised Grigor was still there on court

Was it something to do with his tache and the humidity Jane?
it might have been tickling his nose

Carlos is full of joy

I am not full of joy because I barely slept a wink

Glad to see all the Brits won their first round matches!

Caroline Garcia has been knocked out, and that could be good for Katie who plays her opponent in the second round. Jodie has Aryna in round 2 - can’t see Jodie winning that one unfortunately!
