You did well Lore- the on court interview is rubbish.

I love his interviews, he's a breath of fresh air.

He is great- sadly the people interviewing are usually terrible.

Jannik got his revenge for Halle against Bublik.

Sasha called Jannik 'AI' on the US open's instagram page .
I think he ended the match with a smile though, had a nice hug at the net.

We are probably headed for a Sinner/Alcaraz final- and then I'm not sure who will win.

If, by some chance, Djok beats Carlos (though we're not there yet- Fritz could still beat Djok), I don't think Djok will get past Jannik in the final. But I'm sure he will have an injury break at the top of the 3rd set. (My prediction).

Sounds as if the evening matches were fairly uneventful- I’m hoping that Fritz will come through against Djok but not holding my breath - at least I don’t have to watch him (and his shenanigans) if they put him on at night

The Wimbledon ballot has opened for anyone who’s interested

Sky are just re-shpwing the Barbora/Taylor tie break thatI missed.

Barbora will have played against Taylor a number of times in doubles, and she looked as upset as Taylor at the end.

Jess has a bag that matches her horrible kit.

Blue and black is the colour them of the game today, with the commentary team.

Jonathan looked like they had made him put on the black jacket , to fit the theme.

Come on Barbora! (bet she's thrilled to be playing another American).

This is not a good start.

Getting deja vu from this match- I doubt Barbora could pulloff another comeback like she did the other day. So she needs to do something here.

Back on serve.

This is a very up and down set. Pegula will probably get it now.

Come on Barbora!
It is strange that Pegula has gone off court.

Ryan fancies himself as a camera man.

Oof . Barbora's serve is way off today.

Flynn Thomas in the boy's singles is doing a lot of yelling and screaming. His team really needs to get a handle on that- before he turns into a bratty senior.

His coach has walked off.

I don't think this is going to be Barbora's day. I'm not really a fan of Pegula, not sure why, I've never warmed to her.

The stadium is full , and there is no atmosphere at all. Maybe the US fans are that fussed by Pegula either.

Well done Pegula.

I think Barbora was worn out after the last match. She had been on court twice as long as Jess , prior to the match.

Not a fan of Carlos's shiny pink jacket. It's a bit Barney the Dinosaur.

I feel like it's going to be 0 for 3 for the Czech players today- I can't see Marketa winning later against Aryna either (although I would like her too).

It's amazing how many Czech players have ot to this stage, across both draws.

Carlos is treating everyone to a pretty one sided match so far.

maybe he wants to watch Bake Off?

Why are the girls on the main channel?

I've switched to Bake Off Jane - but it's Sky, and Hannah is a Brit, so clearly more important than a multi slam winner.

Aah that explains it
