boo Evans served for the 4th set but started cramping Lost in 4.

[Resolute 14]

Nestor and Pospisil are into the third round in the doubles. Their reward is the Bryan Brothers at 9AM tomorrow. Nestor and Mladenovic are also into the third round of mixed doubles after knocking off the #2 seeds today.

[GirlySports]

Canada has won the first set! McEnroe is in shock! He keeps mentioning that this is not possible and this is to stop the Grand Slam.

[GirlySports]

Nestor absolutely choked away the 2nd set

[GirlySports]

When the Bryans win the Grand Slam, they should thank Daniel Nestor

[Inglewood Jack]

Epic level badness by Nestor. He should get his name on the trophy.

[GirlySports]

The men's last 16 is set

Novak Djokovic (SRB) [1] vs Marcel Granollers (ESP)
Mikhail Youzhny (RUS) [21] vs Lleyton Hewitt (AUS)

Andy Murray (GBR) [3] vs Denis Istomin (UZB)
Stanislas Wawrinka (SUI) [9] vs Tomas Berdych (CZE) [5]

Richard Gasquet (FRA) [8] vs Milos Raonic (CAN) [10]
Janko Tipsarevic (SRB) [18] vs David Ferrer (ESP) [4]

Roger Federer (SUI) [7] vs Tommy Robredo (ESP) [19]
Philipp Kohlschreiber (GER) [22] vs Rafael Nadal (ESP) [2]


Milos is the 3rd match on Armstrong tomorrow after the Williams sisters doubles match.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I honestly think Milos should make the semi's. He can definitely beat Gasquet and Ferrer.

[GirlySports]

It's pouring in NY, it's quite a scene on tv.

[GirlySports]

This has always been the most awfully run tennis tournament.

Did they really just bring out the court drying machines and then suddenly it rained again. they always look so foolish. In Montreal and Cincinnati they cover the court.

[dash_pinched]

I like watching these classic US Open tie-breakers though. Sampras hurling on the court in '96.

[GirlySports]

Pete was amazing.

[Mango]

It's absolutely pouring here right now. Fingers crossed it stops soon.

[GirlySports]

Play has resumed!

They have moved everything around. Women's matches that have not started yet are cancelled.
Federer moved from Ashe to Armstrong
Raonic moves from Armstrong to Court 17

[GirlySports]

Federer loses the 1st set.

Milos is underway!

[GirlySports]

Milos broken right away but then breaks back.

[Resolute 14]

This is not an exhibition of quality serving. It helps that Milos has more tools to get out of trouble than Gasquet, but he's gotta get it going.

[GirlySports]

He's got it going now, Gasquet's awful.

Federer's battling Robredo, down a set
Ferrer is down a break in the 3rd!

This could get interesting fast.

[GirlySports]

a stat I just saw

Gasquet is 1-15 lifetime in Grand slam 4th rounds. He beat Roddick at Wimbledon 2007

Raonic is 0-3 lifetime (lost to Ferrer, Murray and Federer)


WHAT ARE YOU DOING MILOS!???
