Murray vs. Dimitrov coming up shortly - I could see this match easily going 4 hours.

Hurkacz down 2 sets to Draper appears to be suffering from illness, just like Thiem yesterday. Looks like some bug is going around the US Open this year. Hopefully no one else gets sick

In Hubi's case, it could be just sheer exhaustion as he did play a five set match a couple of days ago,

Altmaier and Zverev are all square at 1 set each. Daniel, Leslie Nielsen (RIP) has a message for you.

Draper wins in straight sets over Hurkacz and gets the winner of Isner vs. Mmoh. Good chance for Jack to make a nice run at the Open.

Altmaier played well, but Zverev advances in four sets. Barring an Andy Murray epic comeback, it will be Zverev vs. Dimitrov in round 3.

Isner just played his last match. Fittingly, he lost 10-7 in the super tiebreaker.

In his career, he played a record-setting 829 tiebreakers.

Congrats to John on a fine career. 16 singles titles including a Masters 1000 and over 14,000 aces.

As NF said earlier, there is something floating around the grounds at Flushing Meadows...

Stan vs. Sinner on Saturday - Gotta think it will be on either Ashe or Armstrong.

Isner and Sock also lost in doubles just now in you guessed it a third set super-breaker. Jack Sock is also retiring from tennis to play pro pickleball.

Holger extracting himself from the clutches of Moreglue (or maybe it was his mom, doesn't matter) is the best tennis news so far this week.

If I'm not mistaken, Big Ben Shelton hit a 147 MPH serve today in his match versus Karatsev.

She's into round 4 and looking very sharp. She's in tremendous shape being a marathoner.

I think EE posted earlier that Fritz is boring to watch, I agree and I'm rooting for the 18 year old kid Jakub Mensik (turns 18 today) to pull off the upset.

Edit: Three games in and Fritz with a MTO (could be blisters on his feet).

Also, Girly is happy that Rinky is into the 4th round of the US Open.
