US Open Day 7 04/09

First topic message reminder :

Thought I would start this thread nice and early.

Today's matches include:

Simon v Del Potro
Young v Chela
Isner v Bogomolov Jr
Nalbandian v Nadal
Ferrer v Mayer
Kunitsyn v Muller
Roddick v Benneteau
Murray v Lopez

that's great clutch play from Simon, coming up with all the right options from 0-40 down, brilliant!

Can't help but liking Delpo. These 3 missed SPs will cost him i'm afraid

I think I may have underestimated Simon, he's playing a great match.

They should have given Simon the nickname "the mosquito" instead of Ferrero
He's like an invisible enemy and attacks when you're asleep, he's nightmare opponent

And there it is, Simon takes it, brilliant performance from him!

Wanted to go to bed but Pennetta is on...ok, few more minutes then..

And just when i wrote this she starts to puke on court..

Delpo's BH certainly failed him today. Still not looking near his best yet. Kudos to Simon.

Simon plays well.I lik his game. He plays a very physical game but with timing and thin legs and arms.

yep...Mosquito...or the wasp maybe!

Right let's see what the All American clash will bring. Sky currently doing a Murray lovefest.

Just makes it even more hilarious how Roger ever lost a USO final to this guy, always thought he was never a top contender and here it was confirmed.. well played GIlles and best of luck taking out Isner

Delpo visibly feeling exhausted for the last two sets. Some flashes of brilliance, for today not enough though.

Isner serves out the first game and saves 2 BP's. That kick serve is a Bar Steward! If Isner had a solid net game he could be unplayable.

Bogomolov holds to love. I don't think I saw Isner move at all in the game.

Isner is just having a bit of a shocking start. His net play is awful. Bogomolov 2 more BP's. I don't know why Isner is coming to the net because by the time he gets there the ball has passed him. I will be annoyed if he wins just via a serve, because quite frankly the rest of his play is toilet! Isner holds.

Pretty hilarious, should Murray win this round he gets Donald in the next we know what happened last time these boys clashed...

Bogomolov holds. It is a pretty dreadful match.

Isner holds.....I never normally wish time away, but I am now.

Hold for Bogomolov. Time for bed!

Decent start from Murray, leads 3--0 and hasn't dropped a point yet

Yes he looks tuned in tonight...so far.
