Impressive stuff from Rafa, Cilic played above his ranking was not an easy match. Is there anyone that can stop Fedal at the US Open? Also let's go Bianca !

Zverev was on Ashe too. But it doesnt matter, its two different sessions. To make more money

So American. Wanting Rafa to talk about Tiger Woods. Enough

These simpering, pandering, brown-nosing on court interviews are just unbearable to watch. The interviewer pulling the mic away just so that he can laugh into it in contrived fashion is painful.

... Unless it's a Medvedev post match interview. That I want more of.

In other news, Gaby Dabrowski and mixed doubles partner Mate Pavic lost their match today, but Gaby is still alive in women's doubles.

Damn I want to go to bed I’ve been babysitting my 13 month old grandson all weekend and I’m exhausted! Don’t want to miss this match though. I didn’t remember how much work this is. I must have blocked it out.

For ESPN, this commentating pair (Jason and Mary Jo) is good. Least cringe.

A hold followed by a break - Yes sir, I'll take more of that.

Welp... Bianca looked nervous in her opening game, but on the return, it frankly looks like Townsend is going to have to earn every point.

That break conversion was absolute murder. Her backhand is so deep and powerful there's no chance to come in and not much chance to return it even if you did.

That has to be deflating for Townsend to be up love-40 and not get the break.

Good hold after saving 3 break points. Just really needs to get a handle on the serve. Winning a game after 2 double faults isn't exactly going to happen against most players.

Also, look where Townsend is standing receiving the 2nd serve. She's almost in SABR territory.
