    Wow, wasn't expecting Nadal to lose to Fognini. First time he's ever lost a slam match from two sets up.

    Serena down a set to Bethanie Mattek-Sands. Difficult to see Bethanie actually pulling off the upset but... can you imagine if she did?!

    It was never gonna happen , serena has this won and deservedly so - although she is unbearable
    And a drama queen.

    Poor rafi , he used to always dish out 5 set wins from 2-0 down - how things have changed for him ...

    I wonder what the odds were on Fognini at 2-0 sets down?

    100/1. Nadal was as low as like 1.05, around 1/20.

    Looks like Bouchard is about to withdraw. Such a shame, undoubtedly the best tournament she's had all year and she goes and bangs her head.

    A real shame. Looking at her draw she actually had a decent enough shot at the semi-finals.

    Imagine him defending his title :pac::eek:


    This Bautista Agut match has been kinda fun, hasn't quite been the one-way traffic everyone would have expected

    Murray looked as if he just wasn't at the races last night. He just couldn't cope with Anderson's serve.

    He couldn't cope with any of Anderson's game he was just too good.

    As much as I like Murray I'm really pleased for Anderson, after seeing him play that match against Djokovic at Wimbledon I've really warmed to him. He is so hard working and seems like a nice guy, I'm glad things are coming together for him at the moment!

    Johanna Konta had a fantastic run as well. Beating Muguruza, Petkovic and actually giving Kvitova a good test last night.

    Gutted for Murray, but at least my number 2, Stan is still there. Mouth watering semi with Roger. I am backing an in form Stan to beat Roger. I think if Stan hits form he was win the tournament.

    Is it the US Open where ES only have the rights to one of the courts and once you get past a certain point there's no tennis on that court. I think that's it.

    It's on Eurosport, channel 424 which according to UPC website I should have. However the Horizon system manages to transmit Eurosport 2 (425) and British Eurosport (423) but no 424. What a head wreck, I'm supposed to have the one I need but have two others of no use to me.

    I think Djokovic will be out for him this time .

    Tsonger just took Cilic to a 5th set after trailing 2-0 and saving 3 MPs...

    And everyone is raging because they're delaying Serena/Venus.

    UPC carries the British Eurosport channels and there is no live coverage of most of the second week on British Eurosport. Sky has those rights.

    Novak-Stan final would be terrific, particularly after what happened in Paris.

    Really hoping both Azarenka and Kvitova win today, and praying for a Serena-Kvitova final. This US Open has been a disaster for me, barely got to see any tennis :(

    It's difficult allright, plus all the good matches are on the night sessions, so bummer.

    btw, anyone know if Eurosport have a live streaming page on their UK site ?

    Do they broadcast the US Open or Sky have exclusive rights ?

    Sky have the rights for the remainder of the tournament. At least the finals are at reasonable times provided the weather is ok this year.

    There goes Kvitova, probably the last who could have prevented the Grand Slam.
