Fixed as Isner is ousted.

Off topic from the US Open, but I'm headed to the Calgary futures semifinals at the Calgary Tennis Club. Philip Bester and Brayden Schnur are facing off. If anyone goes, let me know and I'd love to say hi.

[GirlySports]

Schnur needs to win that one, he needs the points.

-----

Nice to see Kerber on a good run solidifying her #2 spot. The rest of the women are a mess.

#3 Mugaruza already out.
#4 Radwanska in tough against Garcia
#5 Halep down in the 3rd set against Babos the Hungarian

[Senator Clay Davis]

Kerber missed her chance to go to #1 by losing the Cincy final, it's a bit more difficult to figure out here because Serena can win a good chunk of points making the final alone, but if she wins Kerber will be #1 for sure.

[GirlySports]

Halep survived and Radwanska won easier than I thought she would.
del Potro is into the 4th round, that's a dangerous guy.

Murray won a 1st set tiebreak over Lorenzi, i don't know where this guy is getting the energy.

[GirlySports]

Lorenzi takes the 2nd set! This match is nuts. Minimum 18 shot rallies

This Evans kid is giving Stan the Man all he can handle.

[GirlySports]

great tiebreak this one

[dash_pinched]

Evans and Wawrinka going to a 5th set.

[dash_pinched]

Too bad, Evans had a match point in the 4th set, but he's out of gas here in set 5.

[GirlySports]

Krygios hit the ball into the first row to lose the 2nd set. now a set each against Marchenko.
He's called the trainer out and when the trainer asked what needed treatment, he started to walk off the court. Wants to quit.

Stay tuned...

[Karl]

'I feel like I've been hit by a bus', said Kyrgios, at the end of the previous game.

[GirlySports]

If Krygios quits, Johnny Mac will absolute roast him on air.

[Karl]

Kyrgios just quit. Match over. Marchenko moves on to Round of 16.

[GirlySports]

Monfils and Baghdatis up first. Already two long games. Lots of entertainment and commitment out there between two 30 year olds.

[GirlySports]

Boys and Girls Juniors starts today

For the Boys Auger-Aliassime is the 4th seed and Siguoin the 9th seed. Shapovalov is skipping the tournament. Perhaps his junior days are over.

On the Girls side Andrescu is the 7th seed

[GirlySports]

Lol Keys is getting smoked by Wozniacki because Wozniacki has miraculously reverted to her No. 1 ranking form espn says.

Keys is so overated. Shes losing cause she sucks. 30 unforced errors.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Keys is a nice player, but she's too one dimensional. She'll still win a major because it's the best dimension to have, but they keep thinking (hoping really) she becomes Serena lite, and that'll never happen.

He went on to win the tournament this afternoon. I highly recommend people to check out the event if they ever have the chance. It's really well run.
