I think this will be done in 4 sets. Felix definitely has the upper hand now.

I'd really like Felix to get further (he probably won't get much further). I don't mind Alex, but I prefer Felix.

Alex seems to be making a bit of a comeback! Maybe it will go to 5 sets after all.

Well, it might yet go to 5 sets.

I feel the commentary is biased towards Alex, not really sure why. It is because of Katie?

X post Chessie

I would still like Felix to make a come back.

Interesting about the lack of wheelchair doubles at the US Open last year. Of course they won't have bothered with it. No surprise there.

I'm waiting for them to scrap it at the US Open . Have able bodied singles players do it instead. Like the mixed. More exposure.

.

oof- again, mistakes at crucial times. Come on felix!

Well done Felix!

Well done Felix!

Well done Felix, I missed the end.

Hoping Amanda can make this more competitive than the Wimbledon final.

Well done Felix - it’s good to see him winning although not sure how he will fare against Jannik in the semis - he always seems like a nice young man (I sound so old!) - hope that he will still be in time for his wedding suit fitting

Just back in time to watch Iga/Anismova - phew at least she’s done at least one game better than the Wimbledon final

Same here was relieved to see her winning a game 😅

Amanda has made a good start.

I like her dress but the trainers don’t go with it!

Really good match so far. I was worried when Amanda got broken in her first service game but thankfully she broke straight back and exorcised her demons.

Incredible hitting from these two.
Amanda deserved that set. 👏

Well done Amanda! I agree Chessie I’m not a fan of the red trainers

Tim always looks very uncomfortable when he’s reporting from the crowd

Are the crowd booing Iga for holding serve?

Well done Amanda. Really well played. Sad to see Iga out though.

Well done Amanda! I wasn’t able to watch.

Well done Amanda! I like Iga as well but happy for Amanda to win this one

Lorenzo all in black tonight, looking very cool. Come on, I've women up specially for this upset.

Jannik isn’t wasting any time!

For now Mussetti is leading the second set. The atmosphere is terrible at the US open all you can hear is,a hun of chattering the background. Give me RG or Wimbledon any day.

Lore looks gutted. There's a definite gulf between the top 2 and the rest.

There is- it was always going to be a one sided match. Lore has done so well to this far though. After his injuries at the end of the clay season it has been a bit of a battle.

I missed Iga/ Amanda, I'm glad Amanda was able to prove that the Wimbledon final was probably nerves as much as anything. I do like Iga though.

And another of my favourite pairs, Sara and Jasmine, are out of the doubles.
So a varied night for the Italians.
