Murray has drawn Tsitsipas in the upcoming US Open.

That's him out then.

Not sure what the future holds, going nowhere fast.

He's just brought out a new set of sports wear, best to stick to that. 

Just read the report, Murray very unlucky, losing in 5 after being 2-1 up.

A great pity, beating a player of this standard would have been a massive boost to his confidence.

Ach, got to take something from this, his best performance for quite some time.

Tennis apart, sound like Tsitsipas has taken a leaf from the Djokovic book of cheating.

Watched the whole match . Yes he was unlucky but had the chances to go 2 seats up and let it slip .  Played some fantastic Tennis and looked fit as a fiddle but let Tsitsipas get under his skin with some mind games before last set

He was .unhappy with Tsipitas taking a near 10 minute toilet break and it niggled him throughout the set.  
 

Great effort but just came up short . If he had the mental strength of Federer etc, he would have won .

Radacanu currently in action the quarter finals.

2-3 down against the serve.

No watching it, had enough commandeering the TV last night. 

Well, what a turnaround, she's just won 3 games on the trot, including two breaks of serve.

Has a chance to serve out the set,

6-3 first set, could be the real deal this girl. :happyclapper

You are no more than an intellectual puddle so I don't think there's any chance of that being the case you idiot.

Just been doing a wee bit of reading on her opponent, she's beaten some big guns on route to the final, promising to be a cracker.
Leylah Fernandez defeated four seeded players and two Grand Slam champions en route to the women's singles final.

She'll be tired after playing 175 games compared to Emma's 100. [emoji848]

IF it goes into a 3rd set court time could play a part, although at that stage it's more a mind game than physical IMO. 

Anyhow, nice to have someone to support at this stage of a tournament although the other Murray is in the final of the doubles. :thumbs2

Jamie Murray match due to start at 5:00pm. 

Just noticed there's another Brit on the opposing team, J. Salisbury, never heard of him.
