Tennis: US Open - sick as a small hospital

[JaneJeffer]

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

The umpire looks happy

it's very disappointing that they have a home player and half empty stands. Is it really that hard for people in NYC to be up by 11am?

12, in fact- I forgot this match is the later one.

Do they purposely wait to start until shade is covering half the court?

Brad

I get the feeling that New Yorkers are definitely night people Raahh. I should move there.

We have Brad' 'Winning Ugly' book- Dh used it when he was coaching softball.
It never made him wear a silly hat. Well, not a very silly hat.

Jane you're probably right, city that doesn't sleep and all that.

Be interesting to see if the stands fill up for Djok/Taylor.

Eek

Jelena looks like neon daffodil.

Jelena needs Iga's notebook

Coco seems to have already got to grips with Ostapenko then. Could still change. I want it to be a close match.

Cricket!

This is not going well for Jelena. I hope she can pull herself together next set.

Mahut and PHH hve gone through, which is great.

Coco is pretty ruthless today.

No don't make that face

The crowd aren't giving much encouragement

I'm glad Jelena has a game.

Oh dear I’ve just switched on - wasn’t expecting that scoreline

The empty seats are weird - I’m sure there are never empty seats at Wimbledon - but yes maybe a midday start on a weekday is a bit much for the NY crowd

I’m not a fan of the neon daffodil look

That's better

Oh we've got rain, boo. I was getting used to the nice weather again

And Salisbury /Ram have won. Well done Joe and Rajeev.

I thought that serve was out!

I think Johanna is stuck on repeat

I wish she would just shut up! Her commentary is as annoying as her serve action! Bring back Feli
