2015 US Open

**Sir David Gray** · 30-08-2015 03:00 PM

The final Grand Slam of the year begins tomorrow and on day one, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are both in action.

Djokovic should be on around 8pm UK time against Joao Souza whilst Nadal will be on around 2am on Tuesday against Borna Coric.

Andy Murray doesn't play until Tuesday but Heather Watson starts tomorrow against Lauren Davis and she begins at 4pm UK time.

Also in the women's draw, Serena Williams is bidding for an historic achievement by becoming the first woman for almost 30 years to complete the calendar Grand Slam by winning all four Grand Slams in 2015.

She begins her tournament at 12am on Tuesday against Vitalia Diatchenko.

Andy Murray has a tough first game against Nick Kyrgios who along with a half a dozen groupies seems to make a lot more noise than he is worth. I won't be surprised if Kyrgios wears a maroon shirt.

I may have laid a curse on Murray by buying two mens semi finals day tickets. It would obviously be nice to see him play in one of them and maybe too much to hope for.

Murray or not, a trip to New York is always fun and I reserved a table at American Cut in Tribeca to have this steak.

It's certainly one of the toughest first round matches Murray could have got considering Kyrgios is just outside the seedings but I don't expect Murray to face too many problems against him.

I can't see too many problems, as always, until the latter stages of the tournament.

He is scheduled to play Stan Wawrinka in the quarter finals, Roger Federer in the semis and then Novak Djokovic in the final. That would be a pretty tough three matches but he should be largely untested up to that point.

Hope you enjoy your trip to the tennis.

Would love Andy to win this again. Will be hard though as Wawrinka seems to save his best for the majors.

**Sir David Gray** · 31-08-2015 04:27 PM

Heather Watson loses the first set in a tiebreak against Lauren Davis.

**Sir David Gray** · 31-08-2015 05:29 PM

Heather Watson's search for a first win at the US Open continues as she loses in the first round to Lauren Davis, 7-6 7-6.

***Golden Bear*** · 03-09-2015 09:00 PM

Andy's not on his game and the other guy is playing exceptionally well.

Time yet though.

***3pm*** · 03-09-2015 09:27 PM

The boy's thrown the set. Interesting 4th coming up!

**stoneyburn hibs** · 03-09-2015 09:26 PM

French boy is starting to burn out now. Murray coasting from here on in.

**Sir David Gray** · 03-09-2015 09:28 PM

It's amazing how quickly things can change in tennis.

Half an hour ago, Mannarino was hitting Murray off the court, now he can barely keep the ball in play.

**Sir David Gray** · 03-09-2015 09:29 PM

Third set to Murray, 6-1.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 03-09-2015 09:29 PM

That's more like it!

Murray is 3/10 on Betfair!

**Sir David Gray** · 03-09-2015 09:37 PM

What a point!

How on Earth did Murray win that!?

***GreenLake*** · 03-09-2015 10:29 PM

Jeez. Thought he wouldn't get back from 2 down. Well done Andy!

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 06-09-2015 01:01 AM

Murray goes a break down in the third game, I'm away to my pit! :-)

No worries, he just broke back (sorry for the yam inference).

Aye, I saw that before I passed out! :-)

***Speedy*** · 07-09-2015 10:51 PM

Murray not happy

***GreenLake*** · 07-09-2015 10:55 PM

He isn't going to keep coming back from 2 sets down.

Certainly was not. Quick thinking by Sky to pull the cameras away before things got too extreme!

**Sir David Gray** · 07-09-2015 11:05 PM

Anderson breaks at the start of the third set.

Looks like this will be a straight sets job.

**Sir David Gray** · 07-09-2015 11:09 PM

Murray breaks back, come on!

***GreenLake*** · 07-09-2015 11:10 PM

This is like pulling teeth. One break back for Murray

**Sir David Gray** · 07-09-2015 11:17 PM

Murray breaks again to go 3-1 up!

***weecounty hibby*** · 08-09-2015 12:42 AM

I'm going to be totally knackered at work today!! Just can't go to bed till the end of the match and think it could go all the way. I'm up at 6😴😴😴

**Sir David Gray** · 08-09-2015 01:01 AM

Anderson wins in four sets.

Good luck to him but Murray will be really disappointed with his performance.

Bed time for me, up in 6 hours!

Anderson will get wiped in his next game like Fognini did after beating Nadal. I really hope Wawrinka beats him or Federer will sail through to the final.

Djokovic vs Tsonga and Federer vs Wawrinka are the best match ups I can hope for on Friday. I'll be backing Tsonga and Wawrinka.

***GreenLake*** · 08-09-2015 03:06 AM

Saw Murray's post match interview and he seemed very disappointed but acknowledge that Anderson served very well and was tough to play against tonight. It seems like he faced this guy on a night when he played extremely well and had the luck run for him.

I would have loved to see Andy in the semifinal but will for sure see him at Indian Wells next year where we can attend more tournament days.

Murray is still a legend in my eyes for winning Wimbledon, Olympic Gold and the US Open.

Plus he is a Hibs fan!

Have a nice rest Andy and get even better!
