Murray wins the first set 6-3

Unless it's the QF or beyond I have to say fuck the US Open early rounds. Just can't do it this year

Dude! and I thought you needed less sleep as you got older

Had the exact same thought this morning tbh.

But watching Andy and Novak flash past everyone else into the latter stages just isn't going to do it for me.

Those ten hour plus lie ins feel like a myth right now.

I think it has all the makings of a great tournament this year, but I do take your point about the ease in which Andy and Novak go through, however I'm almost certain Murray will make a meal of one or two of the rounds he plays!

Andy nearly takes the umpire out with his football skills

Should've got a warning though even though it wasn't deliberate.

I feel sorry for the ball boys and girls on hardcourts them having to dry the court with towels.

Murray is in the final 6-3, 6-3!!!

I really hope he can get the world number 1 spot!

I don't care I'm talking to myself, no one says anything about Maccy when he does it!

[Kano]

Still got quite a distance point wise to take first.

What I'd like to see him win his the Aussie slam. He's lost so many finals his chances are almost up now.

His learning curve (and Nadal's downfall) took him to the French final too. If he could nab a career Grand Slam that would be fitting. He has the all round game to do it.

For sure there is still a decent points gap, it's not unsalable though and Andy has said it himself how it would be such an achievement in his career.

I for one would like to see him the Aussie open too! The hardcourts are his best surface (although you could say it's almost negligible now) something doesn't seem quite right in his prep for the final there maybe Lendl can sort that out.

I do think it's a little unfair to accredit some of Andy's success to Nadal's unfortunate luck with injury and poor form, not that I mean to accuse you of doing that! I just don't think he commands the respect, for what he's done, that he deserves IMHO.
