Roger down a set but up a break. Tiafoe has game for sure.

Pretty crazy they played a five setter in 2:40. Hopefully Tiafoe sticks around.

He's going to be good.

And yeah, they were absolutely flying. They were fast points, generally, but they're both really quick players.

would've been amazing for Tiafoe to win at Ashe.

Is that the guy who lost in the first round at the US Open?

Hopefully young guys like Tiafoe, Sock, Donaldson can make US Tennis relevant again.

Sock just lost to some no name in the first round, not that that's a large sample size. Tiafoe and possibly Taylor Fritz may be the best hopes.

Sharapova won again. Lost a tough first set but looked really good the last two. Well very good from mid-second on.
Do it again!

Tournament is either wide open or devoid of talent depending on your perspective. No Murray, Djokovic or Wawrinka and now Zverev is out.

Hope Isner or Querrey can make the final. Would be nice to have an American there..........to get demolished by Fed/Nadal.
