Pleased to be able to have high hopes for Delpo at the US Open. A bit of a shame they got rid of the ranking points too!”

I feel a bit sorry for Rafa and Kei having to play again to sort out the bronze, they must feel so deflated. Think Rafa will get it - especially if Kei plays like he did today!”
A stat I posted earlier about Kei - since the USO final, Kei has now lost 18 out of 19 matches against top 10 players. Hopefully Nadal has enough in the tank.
