US OPEN - 26 Aug to 8 Sept - Main thread

[Hawkeye]

Katie out in very disappointing circumstances.

Jack looking good so far.

[Teresa]

Well done to Dan. I watched the highlights on catch up. He channeled his inner Andy Murray.

[Sallydaisy]

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.

[Sallydaisy]

Dan has recovered the break and is about to serve at *2-3.

[Teresa]

Dan obviously found the reserve tank.

He won in straight sets. Well done. 6:4, 6:3, 6:3.

[Stell]

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.

[Sallydaisy]

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.

[Jan]

Excellent wins for both guys!

[cazza99]

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.
