US Open Day 6 - I Saw Huey Lewis And Was Told To Kerb My Enthusiasm As It Wasn't Him. I Don't Believe Thiem.

Any reference to Huey Lewis gets a from me!

Now we're all in the right frame of mind to discuss the aftermath of Nadals defeat.

Have any of the traditional big 4 played a match off Ashe this year?

Kohlschreiber had a very good bite at Federer at Halle this year and he is a nice striker of the ball. Could be competitive.

Did not Andy play on Armstrong his 2nd round?

Sitting on Grandstand waiting for Gasquet vs the Australian (not so) bad boy Tomic.

It is a lovely day and after last night's result the sun seems to be shining even brighter than usual.

Good man SB. Having ears on the ground. Are you going to any other courts?

I was hoping they might put Fed vs Kohli on Armstrong as I do not have Ashe tickets but no such luck. My two main matches for today will likely be Gasquet-Tomic and Thiem-Anderson.

Go the shbh's!

I hope you enjoy the day and that the matches prove to be good uns.

Murray's draw is looking brutal still. Wawrinka likely waiting in the QF's. Anderson or Thiem will be a difficult obstacle.

LK, I have a grounds pass which at the USO gets you to any stadium other than Ashe. I do the same every year as Ashe matches in the 3rd round are not normally that exciting. Usually I spend a lot of time on Armstrong but this year I think Grandstand and Court 17 look most interesting.

And in between I just catch whatever action I can. I watched a bit of practice this morning - I saw Fed, Serena, Venus and a few others.

Thanks LK. Yes, Murray has the toughest draw of all the main contenders.

Saddens me a total git like Tomic could make the QFs!

Konta and Petkovic exchanging breaks.

What Konta is doing atm, is nothing short of remarkable!

Konta is playing some super stuff, but please don't give the break back!

Oh Joanna you kont!

First set!

go Jo!

Broken serving for the match at 5-1. Come on Konta, so close!

Well, it certainly looked like a "Murray on Armstrong" performance but, in fact, he can't even use that excuse. He was on Ashe.

Come on Jo!

She did it!

Yeah! shes done it
also lk dw Tomics been done in straights by Reechard

Could see a Wilmbledon rematch between Stan and Richard.

Go on the Konta. She hits a mean ball. More fun to watch than ol Heav

Anyone watching fed?
He's serving first serves in the 90's and even 80's! 
Back ?

I have been wondering, he looks very lacklustre.

Av 1st serve is 112mph so not too bad, I'll watch more closely but feels like just a poor match so far. Forehand is all over the place.

hes 2 sets up though, only just seen it tbh.

Closer than the 2 maulings he dished out beforehand, hope the backs not going he an Novak are the main interesting final...

Fed broken again.

Was it 75 service games unbroken?

Fed brakes back.

Then twice in just over a set to love!
Worrying signs. Much more workmanlike atm. Just needs to servegoat it.

Some insider fans from his forum that are there are saying he woke up with some stomach virus that is going around. Apparently cut his prematch practice short and was holding stomach and telling team he needed some bathroom time. Hope it's a 24 hour thing.

Athletic success is such a fragile thing . Life gets im the way

In 3 sets all will be done, no worries!!

I;m a worrier not a warrior.

I got fat but i'm not a fatso.

Looking now. Hes grunting VERY heavily on his second serve, thats usuallly the tell his backs doing badly...

What a point!

74mph serve.

Fed needs some NYC Hot Dogs to fix his stomach.

Good hold.

Luv, into author mode, I see

Fed squeeling when serving, think he has appendicitis...

Break now Fed, serve and go home. have some chamomile tea.

ALLEZ!

Yesssss baby

Done and dusted.

Some said here Kohli is the real test for Fed.

Guess I'm more of an sexpert then some tennis experts here

Nasty match, hopefully he's ok now and comes back better.

Isner next.

Very average from Fed, but he still one in straight sets in just over 90 minutes, so hopefully the next match will be better.

Indeed he finished his practice early this morning, and was hitting it all over place there too.

A bit of a concern, id still expect him to breeze to the quarters, but if the slight abjectness of that was his back, thats a real worry

Well, we will just have to wait and see how he plays. I am not all that much into worrying about why he may or may not be playing poorly - bad back, virus, old age, poor form etc is just about same to me.

I just want him to play well, for very selfish reasons, because I enjoy his game when he plays well.

Come on Kerber, crush her.

The crush is back!
