TENNIS: Onward to the US Open. Take your seats quickly please.

Yes, Goffin is coming in to the net really well, he's rattling Lore a bit. He needs to play him at his own game when he has the chance, make him move around more too.

Comem on Lore- I'm a big fan of Goffin, but think Lore really needs this win.

shit clock

that's what most of the players think of it.
The commentators are the ones who are obsessed by it.

Tbf he played in the same court Tuesday and didn't seem to have problem with the clock. Still swooning over his backhand though.

Well done Maria

Blatant plug for the US Open hats there by the commentators

Musetti doing ok now - maybe the court doesn’t seem so big now that he’s winning

No, the court will definitelyhave shrunk.

The commentators have been plugging the US Open 'merch' a lot. The tournament must be trying to find ways to get back all the dosh they splurged on the Mixed Doubles.

Maria taking ages signing things and doing selfies. No interview though.

I think the issue is here it's the umpire who starts the clock, so Lore feels he's starting it early.

At other tournaments, its automatic, so there's no arguing with it.

Lore's listening to me again and coming into the net more.

Amazing photo of Paolini!

Hi Magi!

I saw that earlier- it's a great piece of photography- but I can't decide if I find it creepy or not

Do not mention the RG match against Djok.

Hi magi

That photo is amazing but a bit creepy - like a Halloween mask

Good coaching there tripleginandtonic - great username

I've got to go out so I hope I can trust Lore to see this out.

Wow, Suzan Lamens has taken a set off Iga! And after getting breadsticked in the first set.

Ice that's not to be sneezed at.

Lore is very close to the win now.

David does seem injured.

Well done Lore.

Shame for Goffin that he couldn't play as well as he can.

Forza Lore!

Well done Lore - he could play Cobolli in the next round if he wins against Brooksby

I bet he's a lovely dad.

Aah I liked him talking about being a Dad - I’m sure their babies are very cute

I will allow 'talking about dc' at my tournaments. (From some of them).

That puffball must be hard to play in?
