It was strings for his racquet. Good wins for Delboy and Dimi. Dimi could be dangerous for Andy in the next round.

He does seem to just make up the numbers of the 'top players' even when he was going deep in the majors it was like. 'But is he really going to go any further'. Nice bloke, but find his style really boring.

What part of the United States is Mark Petchey's accent from ? or should I say Unided Stades

Andy had to have taken some of the lungs and legs away from Lorenzi in that rally.

I am trying to reassure myself that the year Andy won US Open he didn't play too well in the earlier rounds. This is an awful match for Andy.

I think there's been quite a lot of slams where the eventual champion has threw in a stinker in the early rounds but dragged himself through.

Would be nice if he could get through this without it dragging on for another couple of hours.

Credit where it's due, Lorenzi is defending for his life.

I'm a huge Murray fan but I'm glad Lorenzi took that set, he worked hard and reaped the reward.

OMG! Pliskobot is in the second week of a slam for the first time!

Although even she couldn't have stuffed that up, I'd never even seen or heard of her opponents in the first 2 rounds.

Meanwhile, on Armstrong we're on serve, Dan / Stan 4-4 in the first set.

Ah yes, some of Wimbledon also.

Andy is playing better, his laserbeam focus is back.

Has Halep played all of her matches first match on Armstrong? I don't recall her having to play mid afternoon, early evening or night matches this week.

Dropping that 2nd set has forced Andy to give himself a right good shake.

He needs another break of serve in this set to serve first in the 4th set.
