Raonic-Blake is the 3rd match on the Grandstand tomorrow (After 1 mens and 1 womens match) so around 2pm I'm guessing.

This is good news for Milos, it's in a small court (although the Grandstand can get rowdy) and it's not at night.

Murray's struggling. Won the 1st set tiebreaker.. won the 2nd set tiebreaker but had no business winning it (Lopez was up 5-3 then hit 4 of the most ridiculous shots you'll ever see). But Lopez has won set 3 and Murray seems to have hurt his side (oblique?).. it's going to be a long day.. keep Murray out there in the heat as long as possible!

The Grandstand Court at Flushing Meadow has historically been the "upset court" of the tournament.

Matty81 · 09-01-2012, 03:43 PM

Ladies match before Milos ended... assuming they are warming up right now and it should start shortly.

Hope he can get through today, feels like he consistently falls at this stage this year (one match away from a big player).

GirlySports · 09-01-2012, 03:56 PM

I hope TSN shows it.. not sure how the tv schedule is since the match is starting so late.

First match of the night session on Ashe is Ivanovic/Stephens.. surely TSN can skip that one.

Edit: woohoo, it's starting, TSN will show the match in its entirety.

Milos trying to intimidate early, 3 aces to start the match. Blake hasn't seen a 142mph serve in awhile, or ever.

He played Roddick enough in his prime, so he's seen a big server.

Matty81 · 09-01-2012, 04:23 PM

He looks really sharp so far... making Blake work to hold serve and his own serve is dominant, Blake's guessing to one side or another and when you are basically conceding 50% of points before they even start it's going to be an uphill battle.

It's a major though so lots of tennis ahead.

Matty81 · 09-01-2012, 04:48 PM

Second set beatdown, Milos is up 6-3 5-0 now.

GirlySports · 09-01-2012, 04:54 PM

My Milos fangirling aside....

This is why I could never get behind Blake throughout the years. He's handsome, has a great personality and some flashy shots, but he can go AWOL at the drop of a hat, and bad patches are almost a guarantee.

GirlySports · 09-01-2012, 05:46 PM

A little shaky at the end there having to go to a tiebreak but then he served bombs.

Milos vs Murray on monday

GirlySports · 09-02-2012, 02:18 PM

Tomorrow's schedule is out.. Murray-Raonic get the night session.

The night session starts at 7pm in NY with a Williams sisters doubles match followed by Murray-Raonic. I hope Canadians fill the stadium!

Can I watch the Milos-Murray match online anywhere?

Will you be at work? It's difficult to find online coverage of this tournament because of all the licensing and network rights.

TSN.ca has been carrying select matches and I believe they have show everyone of Milos matches so far. So I guess you can try there tomorrow.

Federer is so scary, Fish didn't even show up!

GirlySports · 09-03-2012, 03:42 PM

The day session has ended really early.

They're thinking of moving the Murray-Raonic match up to 5pm Mountain due to possible rain later and kick off the Williams' doubles match (which should have never been scheduled ahead of the men's match anyways) but they can't get a hold of Raonic.

Cheap Canadian phones :P

GirlySports · 09-03-2012, 03:45 PM

It's been moved to 5:30... Williams kicked off of Ashe LOL.
