Tuesday order of play”

Oh great! So if I wanna watch Andy, it's gonna be at around 2:30am in the morning? Unless Serena powers past Makarova in less than an hour. I assume the rest of the courts schedules will become available from tomorrow night.

I think that's Mac being more focused on his media commitments than coaching. I thought it might end up that way when he was commentating on Milos important matches at Wimbledon rather than in his box.

Every year I find this August Bank Holiday absolutely infuriating because we have to wait until 4pm until play starts! How I would love to just spend the whole day watching tennis, it seems such a waste of a day off

Will be setting the alarm to watch Andy on Tuesday so expecting to be a zombie at work on Wednesday. Got a few days booked off in the second week so just the one week of broken sleep!

Maybe we should get them to start at 7am local time then, just for your benefit.

Very excited about the US Open starting, here's to hoping we see some good matches. Don't think there's too much to look forward to today, but the Tuesday night session is looking pretty nice!

Apologies if this has already been posted, outfits for the US Open:

http://www.si.com/tennis/2016/08/26/...mour-fila-kits

Serena's looks lovely. And Rafa really suits the all black. Not loving the Adidias kits, especially the men's. The men's Fila kit is a bit boring but JJ's dress looks nice.

Why was Ivanovic included in an article about "top players"?

A lot of those kits look well, but those are very arty shots, so the juries out on whether or not they'll look good on court when they're grinding out a three-set shitfest against Sara Errani.

Good start from Greg Rusedski on Eurosport - he just said the roof on Arthur Ashe is like a canape
I think the word you were looking for is canopy Greg!

(I actually think he's pretty good in the studio, this just made me smile)

I like Rafa's and Serena's the best of those. I love black kits, I think they look amazing on everyone. I quite like Simona's as well. Not keen on the others.

We can't forget Stella's contribution! Be nice Lisa!

Got here on Saturday and thought it wasn't that hot at all, but it's bloody boiling today. I hope I don't melt in my seat. Ashe, although very big seems much bigger on TV.

Currently seeing it now on Caro in her opener against Townsend. Dare I say it... it's actually not bad!

Is it just me or is the commentary on this Edmund match about a second or so ahead of the pictures? They seem to be starting to talk before the rally has finished!

An example just then in the point that Gasquet won in the third game, they said it was the first point Edmund had lost on serve before the rally had even finished.

ESPN have been touting the tennis all week in US. They are starting coverage at 1pm thus missing the first two hours of action. What is the matter with them?
I have Eurosport on a proxy but it's not the same on an iPad. Better than nothing.

Commentary being on a delay is starting to annoy me now.

Same old ESPN, will they be showing the night matches? I'd much prefer to watch on screen than my lappy.

Ah they have finally realised they are a second ahead.

Yes the bonus of being here is I can watch the night matches on a big tv.

Indeed it'll be nice to watch and not struggle to stay awake for a change.

Hope you can cope with the heat and humidity. It was brutal yesterday.
I have never watched the night matches in real time. Quite excited especially as Andy is on tomorrow.
Kyle has won first set.

Well done Kyle - he takes the 1st set 6-2

*gasp* Are you feeling ok Lisa?

I think I like Caro's dress better than Garbi's top and skirt but i've only seen pictures.

I think it's because it actually looks like a proper kit rather than trying to be fashiony and reinvent the wheel and avoiding the muddy pastels.

Townsend is serving for the opening set and Ostapenko is 4-3 with a break on Petra.

Good lord, Townsend takes the set 6-4. Time to re-evaluate your life Caro.
