Murray is battling his way through this match, shoulder seems to be a bit less troublesome than at 2-2 in the first set, Murray wins the first set 6-3 and 4-2 with a break in the second

Where are you all lightweights?

Now for Jo Konta she's next up on centre playing Radwanska

Watching the athletics or failing to in my case

Well done Andy, I agree with those who reckon he should pull out though.

Watching King Usain Bolt instead.

Cincy's had to go on the back burner while the Olympics is still on.

I watched Muzza but was only semi paying attention, because it clashed with the athletics and Jade Jones. Think Andy looked lethargic and the shoulder is still an issue.

Obviously he can win Cincy if he wants to, but it may prove costly. Really don't want the shoulder niggle to become a serious injury.

It's interesting that Anderson was Andy's 600th win on tour, because guess who was his 500th? Heh.

Nightmare match for Jo Konta in the end. Got a bit unlucky in the second set and it all went downhill from there.

I was watching Jo Konta till the bitter end. Kinda wished I hadn't have bothered now though, after that bagel for Aga.

Not sure anybody is saying Andy had a more difficult time or that his draw was harder.

I did say that he didn't cruise through to the final though.
People are saying Lyn is and accusing her of being bitter due to pointing that out. He had an easier draw but it doesn't negate he won gold.

Does anyone really think she'll do it? I can't say I do.

Maybe it might happen at USO, but I reckon Angie will run out of steam.

I meant Aga winning the set to 0 to make it a bagel. Speaking of which, I've just had a nice bagel with cream cheese and pepperoni mmm

I dont think Kerber is playing New Haven, but think Radwanska, Vinci, Cibulkova, Kuznetsova, Keys and Konta are playing New Haven

Think Watson is qualifying draw

Yes, Heather is in the qualifying. Up against Maria Sakkari. Heather isn't even seeded for qualfying, that's how low her ranking has gone Naomi is also in qualifying and up against an American WC, Kayla Day.

Ah ok. Thanks.

Heather Watson loses to a much lower ranked player in New Haven Qualifying Round 1.

Watson has also yet to win a main draw match at the US Open as well.

Not great confidence for her going into the Open.
