Tennis: US Open - sick as a small hospital

[JaneJeffer]

I couldn't resist, it's something we say in Ireland, sorry

I think the conditions yesterday were quite brutal - it seemed more like an endurance test but well done Sascha

I know it’s mean but I really hope it’s hot and humid when Djok’s playing - the heat is like his kryptonite and about the only thing that seems to affect him!

Really wish I could watch the Big Foe/Big Ben match - hope it lives up to expectations!

The Coco Gauff/Ostapenko match should be interesting - wonder if Coco will ignore Brad Gilbert again? He does seem like a bit of a strange one - apparently he can only deal with odd numbers

I always have to have the telly volume on an odd number or I get angsty my household does not appreciate this quirk!

It was a very long match, probably a good thing it wasn't in the heat of the afternoon. Yes, I am also hoping Djok is affected by the heat, or it dries out his contact lens or something.

I like Sascha and Jannik, so didn't really mind who won- but it shows how far Sascha has come after his horrible injury really. Sinner has proved he has great stamina though, so I don't think it will be long before he wins a big title. That's 2 years running he has had tough late round matches that could have gone either way.

I really would like to see the Tiafoe/Ben match but I will probaly see the scores when I wake up in the middle of the night .

Coco/ Ostapenko should be a lot of fun -it would be great if Coco won the whole thing, and she's still doing well in the doubles too. But Jelena is good value and

Nice to see Salisbury and Ram are having one of the better tournaments they have had this year- And Mahut and PHH are still in too, both pairs playing QFs today.

You and Brad would get on well - apparently if anyone asks him the time he will say 11.59 instead of 12!

Very nice of Jelena

I think this picture of Andrey, Daniil and Jelena has been posted before- but it just popped up on FB- and it's very cut.

Andrey's hir has always been bit out of control

*hair

That is nice of Jelena

I love this photo from 2013 - Danill looks as if he’s got a combover going on already! Also not sure about the squirrel drinking red wine on Jelena’s top - Andrey doesn’t really look
that different

OMG - spooky or what Raahh

We must have the same Facebook feeds

Great minds!

Jelena's sweatshirt love it!

Jelena hs obviously always had a unique sense of style .

I think it’s maybe a beaver and not a squirrel? (Which makes it even more weird )

So today - only one of the Sky channels is showing anything. The other has American football. Cheers for that.

Feli thinks this is Mahut's last year on tour. We've heard that before, Feli

i have found another match on sky sports mix- which hasn't been available to me earlier, since I don't get the HD channels.
I'm very confused
Unfortunately, it's Wispa.
I think Galloway and Olivetti lost their luggage and had to cobble together kit.

So I will flick between the 2 matches- until 5pm, because I've no doubt the Coco match will be shown then.

It's very hot and stuffy here but NY is 10 degrees hotter.

I've just seen that Jelena is sponsored by Duracell- and all I cn think of is bunnies.

Jelena always looks very nun like to me

I can see that.

I saw some clips of the Sinner/Zverev match. Sascha had to get down so low to return some of Jannik's shots he was almost folded in half! I bet he's sore today.

Seriously, they could hve carried on showing the doubles rather than this 10 minute pointless ramble before the match even starts.

I'm just glad to be sitting down
