Main thread for US Open
Britons Billy Harris, Jan Choinski, Sonay Kartal and Lily Miyazaki won their second-round qualifying ties.
They are playing their third rounds later on today.
Good luck to them.
Sadly, Choinski was the only survivor to reach the main draw.
I just started watching the US Open and then it sunk in... the first slam in the post-Andy era. I am a big fan of Emma and feel she has to be given time to learn her craft, but even so, quite an existential moment in my life...
Know how you feel David :sad:
Choinski fought back from 0-2 to level the match at 2-2 sets but
Baena took the 5th. Kudos to Choinski for battling so hard.
Evo lost a very, very tight set but Khachanov took it 7'6(6).
It's best of 5 so maybe Evo can get a fix on the next 3!
Jack Draper is up a set and nearly the 2nd against Zhang: 6'3, 5'0
Good win for Katie Boulter - 5'7, 6'2, 6'1 - over Sasnovich.
She joins Harriet Dart in R2.
Raducanu to play later.
And that's Jack through to R2.
6'3, 6'0, 4'0 ret'd. Zhang leg injury.
Kokkinakis d Tsitsipas 7'6(5), 4'6, 6'3, 7'5
Evo into another tie-break for the 2nd set against Khachanov.
Evo doing battle royal against Khachanov.
The Russian was 4-1 in the 5th set. Dan has broken back
and held and is now 40-15* on the Khachanov serve and
hoping for another break to bring it back to 4-4.
Yessssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C'mon Evo!!!
Evo won!!!
From 0-4 in the 5th set he won the next 5 games to take it 6'4.
And set a record for the longest match in the history of the USO!
5hrs and 36mins.
:phew:
That was unbelievable!
Absolutely amazing. Well done Dan!! :cheer::cheer:
Amazing win for Dan. Im not sure how he did that, could hardly move at 0 - 4 in final set.
Then he came to life. It was so awesome to watch.
So happy for him.
Just WOW!!!! :superman::GBflag:
In the R1 battle of holders of only one Grand Slam title ... followed by various injuries ...
Sofia Kenin (OZ GS 2020) d Emma Raducanu (USO 2021) 6'1, 3'6, 6'4.
Dans match was amazing and it was so good to see him back to his fighting form again! We’ve missed it!:bravo:
Shame about Emma but maybe she needs to start listening to advice given to her a little more. She has amazing talent!:shrug:
oop for Thursday - h ttps://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/schedule/schedule11.html
Katie 2nd on Court 5, followed by Jack and then Dan.
Katie out in very disappointing circumstances.
Jack looking good so far.
Well done to Dan. I watched the highlights on catch up. He channeled his inner Andy Murray.
Jack through to R3, 6'4, 6'2, 6'2.
Evo just started his R2 match; not sure how much he'll have in the tank tonight. He's up against Mariano Navone ARG, currently WR36, aged just 23 v Dan's 34.
Navone has just broken Dan's serve in the 2nd game ... will serve at *2-0.
Dan has recovered the break and is about to serve at *2-3.
:peace:
:superman:
Dan obviously found the reserve tank.
He won in straight sets. Well done. 6:4, 6:3, 6:3.
Well done to Jack and Dan. I wonder if Jack's glad that he won't be playing Carlos Alcaraz in third round, as I know the sports presenter on radio Five Live was shocked by his defeat to Botic van de Zandschulp.
Oh well done Evo!!!
He'll be picking up some much needed points, having dropped 500 points from his Washington win in 2023, by playing the Olympics with Andy.
Next up for Dan is Alex DeMinaur ...
... and for Jack Draper is Botic Van Der Zandschulp!!!
BVDZ knocked out Alcaraz - that's a bit of a shocker although the Spaniard has been off his game a tad of late.
Excellent wins for both guys! :bravo::GBflag::superman:
oop for Saturday - h ttps://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/schedule/schedule13.html
Dan vs DeMinaur is first night match on Louis Armstrong at midnight.
Jack vs Van Der Zandschulp is second match on Grandstand after a WTA match, so probably around 6 pm.
Djokovic is not getting to 25th slam this year. Popyrin beat him 6-4 6-4 2-6 6-4.
Well done Jack Draper!!!
Into R4 after beating BVDZ 6'3, 6'4, 6'2.
He next plays Machac, WR39, who beat Goffin in 3 sets to make it through R3.
Jack in great form as the draw opens up;well done! Dan goes out to De Minaur though 6-3,6-7,6-0,6-0. Looks as if that opening match took its toll. Certainly a surprise with both Alcaraz and Djokovic out early.
Jack vs Machac 2nd on Louis Armstrong on Monday after a WTA match that starts at 4.00 pm UK time.
Quarter-Finals shaping up nicely - but missing some of the bigger seeds!

Jack is doing rather well. In the lead 6-3 6-1 1-0 and broke in last set.
Maybe he will win the shortest match in the US open.;)
He has just missed the shortest match according to commies.
