You're not happy with EuroSport are you
An understated no.

edit : the uninteresting woman's match has gone to a third set and one of them has gone for a pee break.

further edit : the Sock match is also a walkover so ES might be correct to stick with Bondarenko.

Ridiculous screaming from Zheng.

And in the meantime Sock fills the pee break.

What matches are worth staying up for tonight?

Currenty watching Sock Zverev...

Surprised Raonic went out. The other servebots have struggled so far too.
Not the Zverev though, his lesser known older brother Mischa.

I do have a wee crush on Jack.

Garbine has never made it to R3 in NY, surely that changes tonight? If she makes it I can see her losing in R4 to either Konta or Bencic.

Interesting to see Osaka in another slam R3, I wonder how far she can go. Personally I think she's got a QF chance, her effortless power is a joy to watch.

I thought Marion looked a bit better in an interview just now. Not so gaunt.

Indeed; I assumed it would be his "up and coming" brother (I also did not know it was his brother).

His third set tanking was almost as bad as Tomic vs Dzumhur the other night.

Oh Muguruza is starting soon, I'll watch that

Those poor fans need as much medical attention as Konta for suffering through that match. You've got Bondy who's utterly brain dead against the screaming, moonballing, wannabe badminton player.

I feel like I've given birth watching that match not Bondarenko.

The so called uninteresting match turned into quite a good match. Bondarenko seems quite highly strung.

Garbine has zero confidence in herself right now. If she does go out it'll be a very weird year for her, win RG and flop at all the rest.

Crikey, Garbine is losing games quickly.

Kayla Day makes the ball kids look old.

This is starting to get a bit pathetic from Garbine, just slotting the ball into play now and hoping Sevastova will miss.

She looks so dejected and negative. Garbine doesn't have that same ruthless tenacity now she's the hunted rather than the hunter.

Even Sabine is probably watching and thinking "I'm so embarrassed for her"

Back on serve now, Sevastova somehow managed to match Muguruza's shit play. Would be hilarious if Garbine actually managed to win this.
