US Open Day 4: Thursday, August 28

[GameSetAndMath]

Turdasco sauce seems poised to blow a 2 set to 1 lead vs. Kuznetsov

This means one more danger is out of the path of Andy.

Andy - Nole quarter final match, as cruel as it is , will happen I think. And whoever wins should have an easier semi.

Tsonga might have something to say about it though.

You can't make a mess returning a cream puff like that :nono

Milos is bringing serious heat in the 4th set TB. Wins it 7-3. Sweet revenge.

Gojo is a player though. He should be a top 50 player, not 124.

 

[Front242]

Raonic is safely through to the 4th round now I guess. Can't see his opponent winning their encounter.

in the battle to win a 2nd ever singles match at major level was won by the 34yr old geezer from Dominican republic (someone burger-ozone ??)..mr borna coric will be back in the top200 though.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

coric gets 70pts (45pts + 25pts qualifying)..

drop date of points from 2013 sept 8th coric won futures event worth 18pts..anyone know if this years 70pts directly replace 2013s 18pts for same week ?.

That is my point too. He plays like a douche against average players and brings on the heat against top 10 players: Nadal, Raonic, Tsonga. This is unheard of. Usually is the other way around.

^ Gulbis is guilty of that too. Federer plays Groth next, the holder of the world record serve speed of a whopping 163.7mph. Hopefully won't see many/any of those

Didn't see much today, but I note some results:

Robredo needed 5 to take out Bolelli

Verdasco out in 5 at the hands of Kuznetsov

Kyrgios continues his run, taking out Seppi in 3

Borna Coric's run ends, taken out by Estrella Burgos in 4

big nick k.

carries on his summer blitz, after his qf at sw19 he won a match at his first masters tourney, and now in round three here.

you cannot overlook Tsonga at this current stage. That will be the match of the R16.

Victor Estrella Burgos who defeated Coric, made the headline on the ATP Tour site:

http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2014/08/35/US-Open-Thursday-Estrella-Burgos-Into-Third-Round.aspx

He writes a lot of history on his own for the sports in his country: First Dominican in the top 100, first to ever play a slam this year at RG and here is now in R3 at the USO.
All this at 34, after he turned pro at....26!!!
:clap

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]
