US Open Day 4 Thread

[invisiblecoolers]

First topic message reminder :

Slowly and steadily the Open is warming up, and we have some stunning matches and box office player representation on Thursday.

@Arthur Ashe

Vika and Serena in action 1 after another followed by

1]Nole vs Paul Henry Mathieu

2]Murray vs Matthias Bachinger [A Britain vs German match]

3]Eugenie Bouchard vs Sorana Cirstea [ A tough match for Genie, come on Genie show your powers]


@ Armstrong

Ivanovic followed by Isner in action, night session is dawn by Milos Raonic.
but no interesting match here.

@ Grandstand

4]Kei Nishikori vs Pablo Andujar [ this could be a banana skin match for Kei]

followed by Tsonga match followed by Kvitova match.

@ Court 17 we have

5] Sam Querry vs Garcia-Lopez [50-50 match in my view, but Sam might make it given his serve and home support].

Other good matches

6]Simone Bolelli vs Tommy Robredo [ could be a good match]

7]Philipp Kohlschreiber vs Michael Llodra

8]Marina Erakovic vs Elena Vesnina

9]Samantha Stosur vs Kaia Kanepi

10]Nick Kyrgios vs Andreas Seppi  
[- Certainly the match of the day]

11]Fernando Verdasco vs Andrey Kuznetsov


May not be a great day for matchups but many stars in action, and we got Nick underlying the day against a veteran in Seppi, a very tricky opponent for Nick, can he continue the golden run which he left off in Wimbledon, I certainly would love to see him go deep into the tournament.

[The Special Juan]

A dramatic collapse from Kerber results in her being dumped out by Bencic in straight sets.

[LuvSports!]

Goffin! Dimi! Monfils!
Just need Gulbis and Feds to come through and i'll be very happy

[The Special Juan]

Theim's come from 2 sets down against Gulbis to take us to a 5th!

[The Special Juan]

And goes a break up immediately in the 5th....

[lydian]

Goffin only loses 6 games to beat #32 seed.
Next up Dimitrov...can he beat him?
Should be a very interesting match...

[The Special Juan]

Gulbis is being mugged here by a dogged Thiem. Having a meltdown Ernie-style.

[The Special Juan]

Thiem's (pronounced "Team" apparently) has got the double break on Ernie. Bagel?

[The Special Juan]

Well he had a BP for the treble break but couldn't take it. *4-1.

[The Special Juan]

Tight from Thiem - he's serving for it at *5-2 and blown 2 MPS, one with a shank and the other with a loose forehand. Another loose one sets up an Ernie BP.... This isn't over yet.

[The Special Juan]

Another loose shot, this time the backhand, gets Ernie one break back.

[The Special Juan]

Through a combination of UEs, refusing to move for shots (cramp? fatigue? laziness?) and a superb BH winner on MP, Thiem breaks to take the set 6-3. Mannarino's taken the 1st set v Fognini too so both wasters could be on their way out.
