Who the heck is this Edmund guy?

I have no clue....That's the sad part.

Quickly google him and he is a 21 year old Brit ranked 84th in the world

Thanks. First time I noticed him. Will have to keep an eye out going forward.

So happy we have some other good men players. Really hate everything about Isner's tennis

Isner stops play down 5-3 in the 4th set tiebreak to challenge. Of course he was wrong and automatically loses the point since he stopped play. Facing 3 match points now

 

[bksballer89]

He loses 7-5 in the tiebreak. That ridiculous challenge was huge. He was still in the point when he challenged. Very stupid

Whoever idea it was to have Cici as the American on Ashe tonight vs Kerber should be out of a job tomorrow morning. If you wanted an american in primetime on Ashe, make sure its someone who can actually win their match. That should have been keys

Outside of night 1, the night session has been pretty bad. Hopefully it gets better in week 2. Not expecting much from the night session the next 3 days as on Labor Day weekend the best players are usually on during the afternoon.

Nights like tonight is exactly why in the first week of the tournament, I would always prefer a grounds pass rather than a night session at Ashe because blowouts happen frequently on Ashe until about the round of 16

Impressive comeback win for her

Agree.

Ok, so the bottom left round court is New Grandstand. And the bottom right round stadium is Old Grandstand.

Right?

 

[nuraman00]

Will try but I believe it is how the US Open will look after the Old Grandstand is took down after this year.

Why are they taking down Old Grandstand?

 

[nuraman00]

Isner down 2 sets to 1

Another loss where a few points went against him.

Not surprised, but I wish he could win more of these.

Yeah. I've said a few times that the USO seems to have the worst night sessions in terms of competitiveness.

I think the AO is much better, whether by luck or something else.

It's frustrating that his return game is bad.

I like him as a person, though. He's someone that cares about his game, and is trying to get better, and is supportive of other Americans too.

None of Saturday's matches are must-see, so I'll probably take a break until mid Sunday or Labor Day.

Labor Day usually has some memorable matches. 2014 was a great day from start to finish.

Right?

Yeah right next to Armstrong

Halep in trouble on Ashe.

Carreno Busta in a good battle with Thiem. Even at a set apiece and on serve in the 3rd. Nice early action to start off the day

 

[bksballer89]

10 minute game taking place right now. Thiem trying to get the break of serve
