Murray is trying to kill Rafa's backhand early. Correct tactics.
30-30

Um what is happening here. What is the dancing. Oh god, US Open can be so embarrassing. And the US announcers selling that as "entertainment!!!". I don't understand stuff anymore.

Eursport Int shows men, Eurosport 2 will show women, so I'll just switch back and forth if anything interesting happens.
But I'm liking Rafa/Andy so far, quality is there.
2 back to back quite shocking line calls against Rafa already, lol.

Someone should put her out then! Kerber is. Stosur is NOT on fire. She got a hot start and it has been even ever since. Stosur is useless as usual and it's showing.

Kerber is definitely going to win. All she has to do is break once in the third set and it will be over.
This tournament deserves a Kerber in the final.

Q. Players have been very vocal and effective in making their views known here. You know the game. Do you expect to see major changes here, or do you think things will just revert again and the schedule will be as it is next year again and so on? ROGER FEDERER: It will be disappointing if that's the case. I don't want to have to say that. Without putting any pressure on them, I think it's obvious that there needs to be a change, especially at the back end of the tournament. I believe also at the front end you can't play first rounds over three days in a place where you do get rain and you don't have a roof so you don't have that protection. Yeah, I mean, it's not the first year we're finishing on Monday. I just think the competitive advantage that maybe one player has over another in any Grand Slam final, at the US Open it's just unfair for the player. I just hope that a tournament, they understand it, they see that. It shouldn't even be like a debate and trying to put them in a corner. I just think it's common sense. We'll hope for that, otherwise we will have to make ourselves heard again, which is not something we like doing.
