Tennis: US Open - hoping for a happy ending

[JaneJeffer]

I have to do everything myself around here

I had no excuses for distractions today-Doctors isn't on, on a Friday

Just getting chance to sit down-Hubi has rhe first break against Seb.

Seb appears to be wearing a black padded alice band , like those velvet ones favoured by Sarah Ferguson, back in the day.Not sure what I think of it, really

Hubi now up 5-2- very speedy service hold there.

Well done to Hubi - was a pretty straightforward win- and lots of aces.

I wanted to watch Grigor and Andrey, but I have to go out.
I don't really mind who wins, it's been a good year for Andrey, and Grigor has proved he still has a place with the top players.

Just got in. Andrey seems to have the upper hand.

Has everyone seen this?

That's brilliant

Grigor looked like he really enjoyed that

Two of the nicest blokes in the final today- Hubi and Andrey. It's got the roof on as apparently it 'might rain'- (skys look very clear to me).

Don't really mind who wins (but don't like seeing Andrey's sad puppy face ).

Speedy first set for Hubi- he's serving very, very well.

And Andrey has won the second as quickly. Now we have a match.

Oh dear, there is a photographer causing Andrey issues.

Hubi had a match point.

But Rublev has now levelled the match.
suddenly it's all kicking off- Hubi isn't happy now.

Just tuned in now at tiebreak time

Andrey had a bit of a run in with a photographer,and it seems to have spurred him on, rather than affected him negatively. Whereas Hubi seemsreally rattled- and I would say he's been the better player until now.

Hubi fairly blasted that one!

Nail biting stuff

oof-considering I thought this match would be over quite soon, the way Hubi played the first set, it's actually become quite tense.

I really don't like tie breaks.

I wonder who Roger's rooting for

Well donr Hubi.

Poor Andrey- and his racquet. At least he didn't whack his head.

It's much better when the tiebreak is to 7 like this

Well done Hubi. Andrey managed to be nice at the net even though he's mad at himself.

Yay well done Hubi - what’s Roger doing there?

I didn’t see what Andrey said to the photographer - just saw him getting a warning and complaining about it

Hope that Andrey’s not too hard on himself

I hope Hubi's messages means what he thinks it means.

I love listening to Hubi
