Disappointed with the way things are panning out. He needs match play more than even more time out. ”

I mentioned the wooshy thing and the lack of taxes - this isn't just about Novak, I lose a bit of respect for any player who lives in a tax haven e.g. Milos, Zverev, Caro etc but we were having a discussion about Novak. I know he does some charity work and he was great when Serbia had that flooding, he donated money for the clean up and stuff. I don't know what else he does, as I don't keep track because I don't follow him.

What on earth is Simona wearing? Multi coloured knickers under see through baggy shorts.
Probably already been commented on but first time I have seen her.

Looks like CSN is going to take out Hiya.

A set and a break up.

At least there's not many in to witness the horror.

They would be far less offensive if the shorts were the multi coloured pattern instead of white.

Here is what she was supposed to be wearing, it would have been nice.

Scroll down a bit to see what she was supposed to be wearing.

I suppose we can be thankful she's wearing something underneath those see through shorts. We would have known if she'd been to Rio.

Her screeching is of Maria proportions these days.

I got Roger Federer for the which USA Open champion are you?

Right, I can't watch the tennis because I don't have Eurosports. I'm contemplating on getting it to use on my iPad, can anyone comment on the quality please?

I need me some tennis.

No, I got super Roger - all suave and sophisticated, the best player of all time.

Do you have Apple TV? You can connect your iPad to your TV via Apple TV and pick up Eurosport Player.

I think Babos won every point in the last two games of the second set. She didn't have to respondd to Halep's first serves.

Natasha you should get Eurosport, either on the player, which lets you watch any of the courts, or on TV Player which gives you the two channels. One day, there may be a good tennis player from Bermuda to shout about. Either way it's cheap.

There's definitely a player in Babos, she's not a mindless ball-basher, and she does have strokes, with the way players are maturing later, she could end up decent.

Saw that she only started playing tennis at eight, which is practically ancient for a lot of these girls.

That linesman needs to go to Specsavers to check his prescription. That's the 2nd really poor call he's made.

She was not happy with the scheduling . Finished doubles at 6-15 , played for 2.5 hours & find I am 1st at 11 am .

She'll probably prove me wrong by winning this match and Tournament, but Halep just doesn't seem the same person she was when at her best, all these histrionics and shouting, when at her peak she was very placid, almost sanguine.

Problem with being a threat on both doubles and singles though, and why it's rare now. Like Hiya a lot, but so hard to be a serious dual contender nowadays with the physicality of tennis.

She just stands at the back all the time bashing it out. She's had loads of opportunities to come in a put the ball away but she never does.

She's becoming more of a Ferrer, Berdych type. Can drift under the radar through draws, but lacks the killer instinct when it matters. Especially without Darren to hold her hand in slams.

It's lucky the roof isn't closed. The crowd would need earplugs.

A real rally as Halep breaks back in the third. 3 all.

Both about the same. Murray usually beats all those opponents easily.

I wonder if it's to do with her breathing issues. No doubt that she's not lived up to her early expectations!

She'll be fortunate to win this Babos match.
