That may have been his last chance. Don't think he can bet Murray, Nadal or Djoker anymore at this point. Odds of him missing all 3 in a major are slim.

Am heading to the day session of the US Open tomorrow. These days if you want to see an American still alive, you have to have a ticket for the first 4 days. Bummed about Nadal withdrawing. Really weakened the field. Feels like American tennis is essentially dead after Serena and will be for the next decade.

A 15 year old in the women's draw upset the number 13 player in the world.

There's a Canadian dude and a Japanese fella battling in Queens live at the moment. Fifth set just started a bit ago between Raonic and Nishikori, 1-1 early.

It's late in New York City #analysis.

Edit: Match ended at 2:26 AM. That's pretty ridiculous.

Not the first time it has happened. Usually results from an extended day session and then the women's match before them went 3 sets as well.

Feds down 2 sets. Final four would be djok, nishikori, cilic and monfils.

Serving to get one back though. Fed can win 2 more against a guy like Monfils

Saved two match points to hold. Monfils losing it a bit at 0-30. A break here would be mega.

Another embarrassing 5th set for monfils. He should get a shrink instead of a coach.
