Andy is down to play Khachanov

Dan plays Musetti

Cam plays Monfils

[Sallydaisy]

Thanks Cazza!

[Jane]

Thanks Cazza. :thumbup:

[cazza99]

I wonder if Andy will withdraw. And if he does how long he will wait before he announces it.

[Hawkeye]

He has to withdraw IMO, he'll be putting the USO at risk otherwise.

[exislander]

According to the TNNS app Dan's match is listed for tomorrow (early hours of Tuesday really) but Cam and Andy due to play Tuesday, no times yet.

[Hawkeye]

Has anyone done or seen the maths required to see what it would take for Andy to be seeded for the USO?

[cazza99]

Guess most people are thinking about whether Andy will even play. He is not playing on Monday.

oop for Monday (one space) - htt ps://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/cincinnati/422/daily-schedule?day=3

[Hawkeye]

I think if he was going to withdraw, he would have done so by now.

[cazza99]

Not necessarily. Probably waiting to see how well the injury is healing.

[cazza99]

Dan is 5th match up tonight on Grandstand.

[cazza99]

Start of play today delayed by rain.

[cazza99]

They are currently showing Andy practice in the gym in Cincy on Prime.

[banskogirl]

Yes I was watching that Cazza, hoping he’s feeling good but also being sensible.

[exislander]

Dan’s match on Court 4, start delayed to fix net, warm up restarted but then heavy rain so play suspended.

[HoopGirl]

Andy’s pulled out from his scheduled match

[exislander]

Not a surprise unfortunately.

[cazza99]

What a shame. You could see the trainer pressing on Andy's stomach in the gym yesterday - I did wonder if he was still having symptoms.

oop for Tuesday - ht tps://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/cincinnati/422/daily-schedule?day=4

Looks like it must have been rained off early yesterday as there are quite a few of Monday's matches on today's oop.

Dan is second on Court 4

Cameron is fourth on Court 3

[exislander]

Yes, it was raining heavily from about 1am our time - when I was looking for Dan’s match as I said above.

[JAMES4578]

Not a great surprise that Andy pulled out, if any doubt best not to risk anything before the Us Open. Hopefully Dan and Cameron get back on track and a better day weather-wise!

[cazza99]

Khachanov who was meant to play Andy withdrew too.

[cazza99]

Umpires electric system went down so players Fritz and Lehecka had to stop on Centre. Fortunately fixed quickly.

[cazza99]

Jamie Murray is now playing doubles on Court 3. Cameron follows this match.


Over on Court 4 Altmaier and Popryn are still hitting away in the third set. Dan will play when this finishes.

So we could get Dan and Cameron's matches overlapping.

[cazza99]

Dan and Musetti are on court.

[Hawkeye]

Dan's poor run of form continues as he loses in straights.

[cazza99]

Norrie vs Monfils 6-3 1-4

[Sallydaisy]

Cam has broken back etc and levelled the 2nd set at 4-4.
Limping LaMonf to serve next.

[Sallydaisy]

Monfils took the 2nd set 6'4. Into a 3rd to decide it.

[Hawkeye]

Norrie out too. Not looking good for the USO or DC!

[JAMES4578]

Disappointing all round, Monfils found some inspiration but should have been put away in 2nd.

[cazza99]

oop for Wednesday (with space) - htt ps://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/cincinnati/422/daily-schedule

[Guerkins2]

Hope Andy is not looking at how his quarter could have opened up for him - although he probably is

oop for Friday (with space) - htt ps://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/cincinnati/422/daily-schedule

[JAMES4578]

Fabulous final but unfortunately Djokovic got the better of Alcaraz this time 5-7,7-6(9-7),7-6 (7-4). Carlos though played poor game at break up in 2nd when Novak appeared to be struggling and generally Djokovic's serve was the more effective in the decider. Still got break back in amazing game when Djokovic served for it but could not do enough in the end.

[cazza99]

Yes, a great final. Strange the way Nole pulled round so quickly after struggling so much, probably from the heat.
