[pabbers]

What a load of rubbish the mixed doubles is IMHO. Pathetically short sets and so disrespectful of players for whom doubles is their bread and butter!

[cazza99]

Think this mixed doubles would be fine for an exhibition event, but not for a grand slam event.

Only 16 teams is also very disrespectful.

[JAMES4578]

Not a great fan of this format for a slam but nonetheless quite enjoyed it. Jack Draper and Jessica pegula though to the semis with wins over Carlos/Emma (4-2,4-2) and Medvedev /Andreeva (4-1,4-1) Jack certainly playing well with Jessica, not the best from Alcaraz mind you . They will play Swiatek/Ruud in the semis who got past Keys/Tiafoe and McNally/Musetti (both 4-1,4-2). The other semi between Erani/ Vavassori and Collins/Harrison.

[cazza99]

I am enjoying it as a sort of demonstration tournament. But the matches are so short - blink and you'll miss them.

[cazza99]

oop for Wednesday - h ttps://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/schedule/schedule3.html

The mixed dubs with Jack Draper starts at midnight.

Several brits in second round of qualies.

Billy Harris vs Mikhail Kukushkin 2nd c17
Harriet Dart vs Ayana Akli 3rd c5
Oliver Crawford vs Garrett Johns 4th c10
Fran Jones vs Ekaterine Gorgodze 4th c17

[suttontennis]

While I'm not in favour of this gimmick of an event, the matches certainly attracted a good attendance. From what I saw, the stands on both courts were pretty full, which probably helped swell the attendances on some of the qualifying courts. It was good to see some of the ladies going toe to toe with the with their ground strokes, Iga especially more than held her own.

[cazza99]

Raining in New York.

Katie boulter playing Golubic in Cleveland Open tonight. BBC estimates 7.05 pm. Not US Open but no thread set up.

[cazza99]

Rain stopped play for qualifiers. I assume the mixed dubs will be played under the roof tonight as still on today's oop.

oop for Thursday - h ttps://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/schedule/schedule4.html

Fran Jones vs Ekaterine Gorgodze 16:00 c17
Oliver Crawford vs Garrett Johns 16:00 c10

Jay Clarke vs Arthur Cazaux res. 2nd c10
Billy Harris vs Mikhail Kukushkin 3rd c17
Harriet Dart vs Ayana Akil 5th c5

[Hawkeye]

Jack and Jessica lost in the semis.

[cazza99]

I thought Jack and Jessica were going to win being what was it 8-4?? up. But it wasn't to be.

Last year's mixed doubles champions, Errani/Vavassori, won the mixed doubles this year. It shows that they should have included more mixed doubles specialists into the event. At least the prize money has boosted the income of some proper doubles players anyway.

[cazza99]

Fran Jones has won her second round of qualifying. Jody Burrage has won the first set.

Oliver Crawford has lost. Jay Clarke has lost the first set.

[cazza99]

Jody Burrage lost. So did Jay Clarke.

[cazza99]

The main draw is out.

[cazza99]

It is a Sunday start - oop for Sunday - h ttps://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/schedule/schedule7.html

Emma first up on Louis Armstrong at 4 pm on Sunday

[Jane]

Thanks cazza.

[Sallydaisy]

Billy Harris is in as a Lucky Loser!
He'll play FelixAA in Round 1.
:doh:

[cazza99]

There is also a partial oop up for Monday. At the moment it looks like Jack is second on Louis Armstrong court.

[Jane]

Thanks Cazza - I am quite unable these days to stay awake for the late matches - old age!!

[cazza99]

I am the same. Can't watch much after midnight.

[exislander]

Emma wins 6-1 6-2! A good start to her US Open.

[cazza99]

Well done Emma. It was so quick Emma was the first winner of this year's US Open.

[JAMES4578]

A good start for Emma, a match she should win but nonetheless impressive.

[Sallydaisy]

Jack came through in 4 sets.
Cam won 2 sets before his oppo retired, so he's also through.

[JAMES4578]

was not plain sailing for Jack but be did step up when it mattered which was encouaging, hopefully will find another gear as the tournament progresses. whilst Korda was not fully fit seemed positive for Cameron.

[Hawkeye]

Katie and Sonay both lose in the first round.

[JAMES4578]

katie had Kostyuk at 0-40 when she served for the match but not to be going down 6-4,6-4, Sonay was hampered in the 3rd set as she lost to 18th seed Haddad Maia 6-3,1-6,6-1.

[Hawkeye]

Fran Jones out as well. 2 more men playing today, Billy Harris and Jacob Fearnley.

[JAMES4578]

Unfortunately Billy Harris also out to Auger Aliassime 6-4,7-6,6-4 , match lasted almost 3 hours though.

[Hawkeye]

There was some good news last night, Jacob Fearnley beat RBA in 4 sets.

[JAMES4578]

yes certainly a good win for Jacob which I was not too confident about due to recent form - well done!

[Jane]

Well done Jacob :thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Raducanu through to R3 with a 60min dominant win 6'2, 6'1 over Janice Tjen.
in R1 the Indonesian Qualifier defeated 24th seed Kudermetova.

Next up for Emma is either Rybakin or Valentova.

[Sallydaisy]

Jack Draper has withdrawn from the US Open, giving Zizou Bergs a W/O into R3.
Apparently the discomfort from Jack's arm has worsened and he needs to rest it.
:sad:

[Hawkeye]

Cam 2 sets up but a break down in the third.

[Hawkeye]

Cam wins in 4! Nole next...

[Jane]

Well done Cam! Managed to stay up till the end of the match - nail-biting stuff!

[suttontennis]

Ostapenko accuses Townsend of having no class or education because she didn't apologise for a net cord that won her the match.
One point doesn't decide the match, even if it's match point.
Maybe Townsend forgot tin the heat of the victory, but once accused, she's not going to back-track.
Only at the US Open....

[JAMES4578]

Really gutting for Jack but no other option, needs to take time with recovery. Certainly it was a good win for Cameron and some drama, tighter than need be though. Djokovic next.

Seems to be typical Ostapenko , the 2nd set was decisive anyway even if the etiquette was not observed.

After two very comfortable wins it will be Rybakina the 9th seed next for Emma.

[cazza99]

Jacob Fearnley plays Zverev at midnight tonight on Louis Armstrong court.

Emma Raducanu plays Rybakina at 4 pm Louius Armstrong tomorrow at 4 pm.

[Sallydaisy]

Zverev d Fearnley in 3 sets.

[JAMES4578]

Much as expected for Jacob really, did have a later charge with a few incredible shots in the 3rd when he came back from 1-5 to 4-5 but left it a bit late. Tsitsipas out 7-5 in the 5th to Altmaier whilst Sinner cruised losing only 7 games to Popyrin. was not the best from Swiatek but after easy first set but got through 6-4 in the 3rd over Lamens.

[JAMES4578]

unfortunately Emma was never really in the match against Rybakina, lost serve early in both sets going down 6-1,6-2. Elena was dominant in a powerful display and constantly put Raducanu under pressure but still disappointing Emma could not offer more resistance. oh well, some progress made this year obviously but more improvements needed.

[Hawkeye]

Cam lost to Nole in 4 sets, so that's the singles done. Plenty of doubles interest though.

[JAMES4578]

A good effort from Cameron certainly for the first half of the match, Djokovic though seemed to take control once he broke back early in the 3rd when Norrie had some momentum after taking the 2nd set Breaker. Norrie though could soon be back in the top 30.

Biggest upset thus far as Auger- Aliassime gets the better of zverev 4-6,7-6,6-4,6-4. A big win for Felix but Sacha has not excelled in recent slams. Coco Gauff was also very much outplayed by Naomi Osaka 6-3,6-2 in the last 16.

[JAMES4578]

sadly Salisbury/Skupski lose ther final to Granollers/Zeballos 3-6,7-6,7-5. Had 3 consecutive championship points at 5-4 in the 3rd on oppenents serve but could not capitalise. Still another good run!
