Interesting to read that Youzhny has rejoined Shapo's team and is working alongside our favorite lucky loser Peter Polansky. In my opinion, Denis was playing his best tennis when Youzhny was in his ear.

I mean, it's up to the umpires to enforce the rules right? I would say that there are some umpires that are reluctant to call the clock on Rafa, but that's not Nadal's fault.

I got my ticket! If you happen to spot a guy in the crowd tonight wearing a flames ball cap that's probably me!

Yeah I'm not liking her chances in this one but will hope for the best. BA's game is showing signs of life again, but she is still going through far too many peaks and valleys during her matches to beat the cream of the crop consistently.

Ostapenko is just the worst, I usually don't actively root against players, but her demeanor toward fellow players and umpires is just terrible. By the way Jelena, Rebecca is in round 2 of the Open while you're packing your bags.

Maria Sakkari is in a third set battle with Wang Xiyu of China. Wang can really rip the cover off the ball with her groundies.

Sakkari is bounced by Wang Xiyu as Maria is broken to lose 7-5 in set 3. The women's tourney is wide open with all these upsets.

Rebecca Marino takes the opening set 6-3 over Daria Snigur. The serve is working like gangbusters today.

All right, Rebecca advances to round 3 of the US Open as she defeats Daria Snigur 6-3 7-6. What a fantastic comeback story for Rebecca.

I'm expecting two long and tight matches. Get ready for about 7 hours.

I've never had strong feelings about this before, but is 5 sets really necessary in the early rounds?

Kyrgios needs to either dial it in and finish this off before a 5th set, or throw a tantrum and get ejected. I'd be cool with either.
