Milos up first tomorrow (9am MST) on the Grandstand. Genie getting some more primetime love on Ashe, up first tomorrow night (5pm MST)
Edit: Shocking collapse for Simona Halep, up 5-2 with 3 set points in the 1st, loses it in a tiebreak on a double fault and is now out losing 7-6 (6), 6-2 to a 32 year old qualifier. Upset of the tournament by far right now.

Six seed Angelique Kerber also upset by Swiss teenager Belinda Bencic. She takes on Jankovic in the 4th round.

I've been to the US open before but I'm not sure if you need tickets for Grandstand or is it just first come first serve. Sucks we have tickets for Ashe and Milo's isn't even close to playing there. I thought he would at least be on Armstrong.

Grandstand has no rules or seating. Any ticket can get in first come first serve.
You should be fine no new yorker will be there at 11am

Cool, thanks for the info Girly. We're going to have to get there early to get a seat. Might be a few Canadians there.

It might be only Canadians there, you could shake hands with all of them.

Anyone else playing the Groth drinking game? Shot every time he says "Sorry mate".

Monfils is so frustrating. He only plays with maybe 40% of his powers.

wow that looks like a HUGE crowd on the Grandstand court!
Guess nobody wants to watch the two women's matches on Ashe or Armstrong.

I find myself kind of rooting for Estrella Burgos. Old man putting up a really good effort so far.

this set is now huge, if Milos wins it old man will go away.

Well this set would be over if Raonic got broken to start. He was struggling early on with first serves but has settled in now.

Estrella Burgos is a really good story. Was never above 200 until this year when he cracked the top 200 and top 100 at age 34. Like a career in AA and AAA.

I'm a total newb when it comes to these things, but it's it really crazy that Estrella Burgos has stuck in it this long? He really seems to have the deck stacked against him.

It's always so funny to hear 34 dubbed as old, but pro sports is pro sports.
Milos' net game is rough today. It's good he was able to pull through that tiebreak.

Yes and no.
Players can play at a high level for a short period of time. An hour, maybe two hours. Also Raonic is terrible at returning serves so it allows players to hold serve and stay in it.

Well, just like that, Raonic breaks the first game at love. (Did I get that right?)

ITV has been trying to say Estrella Burgos was playing well over his head without outright saying it.
Milos breaks to open the second though. Good stuff!
