There was a lot of racket abuse in that match.

Does anyone know if the players are told to wear certain clothing here. Yesterday Jack Sock and the guy he was playing were wearing the exact same clothes? It was driving me crazy.

Apologies is this is a fata, but a piece on Nestor from The New Yorker:

sponsors give the players clothing for the tournament. Jack Sock did change to a black shirt later

Del Potro had the same clothes on today, maybe because I think it's really ugly that I'm noticing more. I did notice that Sock changed everything when I checked in on the 5th set.

Did they go out of their way to find the crappiest picture they could for that story?

I do kinda feel bad for Tomic being such a disaster, he never had a chance with his dad. Still....

Haven't watched all of Vasek's match, but from what I've seen he's playing pretty well, battling hard.

GirlySports · 08-31-2016, 11:16 AM

I watched only the 2nd set. Vasek playing well but Anderson a bit better.

KootenayFlamesFan · 08-31-2016, 11:55 AM

Straight sets loss, but I thought he looked ok. Too bad he couldn't have won at least one set to make it more interesting, but he worked hard.

KootenayFlamesFan · 08-31-2016, 12:06 PM

Vesley withdraws from his match with Joker due to an arm injury. What a shame, after that marathon match with the guy from India who was playing on fumes.

Milos has been very loose today. Lucky to not be down two sets.

back on serve! what a titanic set!

Senator Clay Davis · 08-31-2016, 02:16 PM

Titanic isn't the word I had in mind. It's been mostly error filled and poorly played. Interesting set is probably a better word.

GirlySports · 08-31-2016, 02:18 PM

I think it's been well played. Lots of attacking tennis causing errors.

It's been weird. There are times he seems disinterested and then he'll make an awesome return. The net game from both players is fun to watch, though.

Senator Clay Davis · 08-31-2016, 02:31 PM

Serve is way off right now. Should have been broken at least 4 times already today (he has been 3 times). Not gonna have much chance without finding it again.

GirlySports · 08-31-2016, 02:37 PM

Milos breaks to start the 3rd.. get this train back on track!
