Tennis: US Open - hoping for a happy ending

[JaneJeffer]

I have to do everything myself around here

Looks like a similar score line for Holger in the first set against Etcheverry, he's up 5-1 in the first set.

The crowds are being a bit annoying- both Sascha and Andrey have had issues with people in the stands.

This second set is a lot closer- and over in Basel, Etcheverry could take the second set.

And it's 1 set all now.

I can finally got to the loo

The draw for Paris is out- some interesting first round matches- Felix AA (who is not having a bad week, after a bad year) has drawn Struff- which could be a problem. Shelton has ADF- who can either be really good , or terrible (but possibly better on clay).
Hubi has Korda in the first round- which could be a tough one- though Hubi will have played a lot of tennis in the last couple of weeks.

Andrey seems to have got a grip on this 3rd set, but Sascha could come back. Getting close in the Rune/Etcheverry match- 4-4 in the 3rd set.

Finally managing to catch some tennis. Holger’s match is close! And his shorts are short!

I am not complaining about either situation

Andrey having a bit of a wobble , serving for the match.

Took him a while, but he got there in the end. Well done Andrey. Nice meeting at the net.

Well done Andrey. Holger’s match heading to a tiebreak.

Turned over to the end of the Rune match.

Boris is animated.

Loving that this tournament is sponsored by bananas… and cement.

Had to go out for a while. Just watching the tiebreak scores now. Come on Holger!

Bananas are not something that spring to mind when you think of Switzerland.

Bananas are the universal fruit! Actually I think the cement is the other tournament. Can’t keep them straight!

Don’t let him come back Holger.

Ice if it wasn't for the fact they write the name on the court, I would forget what I am watching. .

And I know I am watching Austria when they play Opus.

Damn come on Holger!

I've realised that (after a week) that Holger is basically wearing camouflage again. The all black is invisible against the stands. Like the all orange made him disappear against the clay .

Did you notice anything else Raahh? 👀

Score watching is more nerve wracking than watching the match!

I'm generally pretty unobservant Jane

Well done Holger, phew!

Well done Holger. Weird finish, net cord and double fault.
