Tennis: US Open - hoping for a happy ending

[JaneJeffer]

I have to do everything myself around here

Sounds like a great day out Stopdropnroll - the weekend sessions should be good

Sounds as if Stan went into SuperStan mode playing the doubles straight after his win against Cam but it wasn’t to be

Sounds like you had a great time Stopdropnroll.

Fizzy I was surprised to see Stan do the doubles, but I suppose there was a limited choice really in the Swiss camp.

I was looking at results around the tournament as a whole- Spain have had a terrible week (ADF was doing ok against Djok in his match, and then failed to win another game ).

Italy didn't start well either, but had a better day yesterday. Similar story for the USA- Tiafoe has lost both his matches.

I'd almost forgotten that the Laver Cup is next weekend - I'm not sure where it's being shown, and obviously it's in Canada, so the time difference will be a factor again.

Glad you a good day Stop, so did I and it was much better organised than I expected. I had such a great time and yes Andy’s interview was heart-breaking.

I went again today. Saw the Swiss team as we were leaving and tried to get a selfie with Stan but they were whisked into a room as I asked - gutted!

I'll never hear a bad word against him again after witnessing that

That's disappointing, Green! I'd love a selfie with Stan

Guido is retiring

Holger is still having problems with his back. I hope he can get back to full fitness.

That's sad, about Guido *Jane. Mind you, I still think he's about 25!
Holger has had a run of losses, I hope his injury is nothing that keeps him out for long. it's a massive set back, after such a breakthrough year. .

I think Holger might have been overdoing it a bit. Hopefully now Lars is back full time he'll get him on a less taxing training schedule with a bit of downtime!

Holger probably does need a break. Would be good if he could make it to Paris to try to defend there though - don't want Djok winning that as well!

I have put the Davis Cup on- even though I'm still annoyed I couldnt watch yesterday because the Brits weren't playing .

Just watching France singing their anthem - I am always shocked by how tall Nicholas Mahut is- I aways think of him being very short (and he really isn't ) .

It would be nice if I could watch some I'll just have to read my book instead. It's very quiet here today just me and DS2. Which I shouldn't have said because now someone is bound to come for a visit!

Arthur Fils is playing well- the commentators were surprised by the selections at the start, but Mannarino is carrying an injury- and it does look like it was the right call to play Fils.

I always think Mahut is short Raahh

Can't* *understand why Leon has picked Norrie!
Can't watch as we have people over but I understand it's not looking good for GB!

kazza I think my misconception with Mahut, is the the whole Isner match thing.- because obviously anyone would look short next to him (except Opelka ). But Mahut is 6ft 3.

Dan has just broken in the second set, after losing the first.

I'm sorry, but I refuse to believe Mahut is 6' 3"
And yes, I'm blaming the Isner match aswell
Come on Dan!!

Dan has the second set.

Shanghai surprise: Djok has withdrawn

Yeah Norrie was not a good pick. He has had a poor run lately. He's still in this match though.
Unfortunately his backhand still looks like he's scything some long grass.

Best trophy ever

That is epic.

The way he looks like he has just defeated a whole army adds to the epicness

GB v France going down to the wire - 4 all in the third set in the doubles

Sounds as if Dan is getting a bit eggy with Arthur Fils and trying to be SuperDan - come on GB - wish I could watch it (DH still managing to watch rugby )

Well done GB! That doubles match was amazing.

Andy Murray really suits a bucket hat.
