2012 US Open

**Sir David Gray** · 02-09-2012 10:37 PM

Stosur breaks to win 6-4 6-4.

It was a great effort by Robson to put up such a fight from 2-5 down but it was just a match too far for her.

Still a good experience over the past week for her and hopefully she can build on this over the next few months and into next year towards the Australian Open.

Robson out. Stosur wins set 2 6 4.

Great week for Laura though.

I've been watching it on the PC and the delightful thing was there was no commentary! No biased Brits making crass remarks and being "wise after the event". Bliss!

Laura is still a bit flat-footed and the serve needs attention but she's a powerful hitter.

I agree, said much the same on page 1.

Oh sorry! I just zap out the posts! Bad manners.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 03-09-2012 03:51 PM

Nae need to apologise, great minds and all that! ;-)

Looks like its going to be Beauty and the Beast in the next round with Ivanovic likely to face Serena.

Serena will destroy her.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 03-09-2012 09:39 PM

So would I!

When does the proper tennis start?

I thought it was the women that were on just now, it appears i was wrong. The proper tennis has started 6-6 and a tie break in the 1st set Berdych wins it.

Edit.
I'm watching eurosport, and the game is an earlier game, and they are showing the highlights.

Oh right, ok.

Yeah it's a bit of a mixture each day.

There are 4 men's last 16 ties scheduled for today.

Marin Cilic beat Martin Klizan in straight sets and Tomas Berdych beat Nicolas Almagro by a similar margin.

Berdych will now play Roger Federer in the quarter finals after he got a bye when Mardy Fish pulled out for health reasons. He had a heart complaint earlier on in the year so hopefully it's nothing too serious.

Cilic will play the winner of tonight's final men's match between Andy Murray and Milos Raonic.

Just a quick update on this one for anyone looking in.

This match was originally scheduled on as the second night match on Arthur Ashe tonight, which would have seen Murray on at around 2am (British time).

However the weather forecast isn't good for later on tonight in New York, and into tomorrow, so they have changed the scheduling and it will see Murray begin his match at about 12:30am.

Wasn't going to watch any of this as I need to be up early in the morning but I might get to see a bit of the first set before turning in for the night.

**jodjam** · 04-09-2012 02:56 AM

Great win and serve not broken once. Cilic up next. Another performance like that will do

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 04-09-2012 11:35 AM

Just finished watching Murray's match, a pretty much flawless performance. Keep it going Andy!

**Sir David Gray** · 04-09-2012 08:09 PM

Just watching the highlights on Sky Sports 2 just now whilst there is a rain delay in the live tennis.

Not surprised that he's won in straight sets to be honest, Raonic has a big serve but he's really not in Murray's league.

I expect a similar scoreline tomorrow when he takes on Cilic.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 04-09-2012 11:39 PM

Great match between Azarenka and Stosur, Azarenka wins the 3rd set on a tie break. Very pleasing on the eye too, but, that screaming is a bit much. If she ends up playing Sharapova the tv will need to go on mute!

They were both in the final of the Australian Open at the start of the year and I think I managed to watch about two games.

It was unbearable.

Live tennis is just about to begin again in a few minutes and it's quite an interesting match between Juan Martin Del Potro and Andy Roddick. Once again this may be Roddick's last match as a professional tennis player and I think that it probably will be, to be honest.

I don't see him having enough to beat Del Potro over five sets and I that will be that for Roddick and his career.

The other matches which have yet to begin are Novak Djokovic v Stanislas Wawrinka and Philipp Kohlschreiber v Janko Tipsarevic.

David Ferrer is two sets up against Richard Gasquet.

Slightly off topic but just bought 2 days worth of tickets for the end of season finals at the O2. Was down 2 years ago and canny wait to go again.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 05-09-2012 01:34 PM

Murray 3rd on tonight, hopefully just as the England v SA ODI is coming to an end.

We're they easy to get hold of, and what's the prices like?

£22 a ticket but up in the gods. Going down for the wed-thu matches and if top seeds win first matches then you see the top 4 playing each other. Plus being midweek it's quieter. Last time I sweet talked a sec guard and got moved to front row for 3 out the 4 games.

It's great value and beats Wimbledon IMO as the weather is not a factor and you are seeing the best in the world. Plenty scots down last time

Forgot to add still tix for round robin games

£22 gets you a doubles and singles match

Murray's on after Del Potro and Roddick, which is looking like it could potentially go to 4 or 5 sets (they're only half way through the second set just now) so it could be nearer midnight before Murray's actually on.

Scratch that.

They've changed the scheduling again and Murray's now on after Djokovic v Wawrinka on the Louis Armstrong court.

Djokovic looks like he'll be wrapping that up quite soon so Murray might be on in the next 30-60 minutes

**Wotherspiniesta** · 05-09-2012 08:19 PM

Murray up next. Wawrinka pulls out. 2 sets and a break down.

Wawrika has chucked it, Andy on now.
