Struff and Goffin in a very well played match. Great win for Struff over Goffin. Tough loss for Goffin in playing very well in a loss, just as FAA and Fritz yesterday. Murray has had 2 wins in 2 not well played matches to me, but there he is. A lot to be said for that.

Djokovic is saying the courts are "20-30% faster than last year". Meanwhile, BG posted that the stadium is slower and that's where Djokovic is going to play all his matches. Did anyone hear anything specific to this? I assume they can't resurface before the USOpen so these courts would only get faster with wear and multiple power-washings?

Novak is looking as solid as ever. 4-3 up but 0-40 down in the second set but turns the game round and walks away with a routine win. It's so nice to watch tennis again. Novak and Medvedev might be intriguing if it were to come about.Stotty

Watched just a bit of Medvedev. I still think the most exciting thing about this tournament is the players managing their own towels. This is quite a breakthrough for the boys. I'm serious.don_budge

Stefanos Tsitsipas...in the Driver's Seat
Whether he likes it or not Stefanos Tsitsipas is not officially in the driver's seat as the heir apparent to "The Living Proof" in the don_budge paradigm for tennis coaching. Dominic Thiem has demonstrated as to why he is not with a rather lacklustre exit from the Western & Southern tennis championships with a no show performance against Filip Krajinovic. Stefanos must feel like he is playing in the land of the giants as his first match was against long and tall Kevin Anderson. Next he faced an even taller John Isner and now he is up against a favorite of stroke's...Reilly Opelka. Come on Stefanos...tell me it isn't going to happen. Tsitsipas went to two tie-breaks against long tall Johnny and he might just settle for the same against the third bot in a row. The serve bot. Who knows...if he wins this he might just be facing Milos Raonic. The combined length of the four opponents might just be a record for playing the tallest in the draw.
A Medvedev/Djokovic semifinal is a must for this snooze fest of a tourney. It is being shown on EuroSport over here and while each evening I have beamed on to the site...each evening I never lasted more than five minutes. Except for maybe Anderson/Tsitsipas. Boring. Capital B. If it plays to a match between Tsitsipas against either Djokovic or Medvedev it might just be able to salvage some face.don_budge
