From what I am watching so far today, the weather is not even close to the impact it was yesterday. Clouds passing through and seems like the humidity might be a little less.

And CBS' coverage sucks compared to Tennis Channel and certainly DirecTV. I wish DirecTV would get in on the deal to show matches through the 4th round and then let the networks handle the quarters onward.Comment -
Yeah this is frustrating, why do they go away from Bouchard Makarova when the tiebreak starts?Comment -
They're flipping between CBS and CBS sports. Sucks if you have both because they were slow to flip Murray-Tsonga over. They were showing the WTA match on both for a few minutes. I understand showing a key part of a match, but flip right over if you're going to show one or the other. Really a tough way to broadcast. That's why I love the DirecTV set-up better. Seven channels.Comment -
Maybe we spoke too soon. Murray better get this set.Comment -
Well it might be a factor in this one if the sun stays out, but the Wawrinka-Robredo match will stretch into the night under the lights likely so they should be okay after maybe a set and a half depending on the length.
Murray just busted up JWT for a 2-0 lead. I still don't think people really appreciate Murray's defense enough. Outstanding points in the last game or two that he was able to win. His perceived attitude and antics might turn some off, but his game really is fun to watch in rallies.Comment -
Of course, when I was betting hundreds on Murray he couldn't (or just refused) to play this aggressively on key points. And now that I have only a single unit on him, he rediscovers that killer instinct.Comment -
Not really a killer instinct, just great defense and making Tsonga work when that isn't something he generally likes to do in matches.
I mean I know heat and humidity sucks and is hotter with the surface, but it's not like they're playing in Houston in the Summer. That is f-ing heat and humidity.Comment -
If he beats Tsonga in 3, what do you expect the line to be against Novak?Comment -
Killer instinct (EP) was referring to how he attacked Tsonga's 2nd serve in that last game. Twice he went after it and Tsonga had no answer. All summer I've been watching Murray just hit those back fairly casually and take his chances in a rally, but not not in this match.Comment -
And thus comes the shit portion of Labor Day coverage. The time in between CBS and ESPN where you miss out on a good match like Wawrinka-Robredo.

Are you kidding me, EP. Will it be online?Comment -
Should be on the US Open website, just more difficult to watch especially if your service provider is a POS like mine.Comment -
espn2 covering waw/rob match after cbs leaves it.Comment -
Surprising they did this. Last year they said F it and had the gap in between.Comment -
Of course :bonus: coverage is more of these F-stains talking about shit and showing the match, so still lame mostly.Comment -
Add..
ATP: Raonic @ -120
Comment -
I think on a quick surface, Raonic is better. With the weather not a huge factor, albeit some factor, I feel comfortable sticking with the guy I thought would make the semis in his quarter.Comment -
Wawrinka-Robredo match might be the best of the tournament so far
Comment -
Well the 1st three sets. Fourth set not so much, but I'll take my over thank you very much.Comment -
My take on Day 8 up on the blog. Twitter (TennisPig) it to find it.
Ready for this women's match to end so we can get some Milos and Kei to finish the night. Hoping for something at least as entertaining as Murray-Tsonga and Wawrinika-Robredo.Comment -
If Raonic-Nishikori put on a good show tonight, no doubt that this will be the best night session of the tournament so far.Comment -
The Milos train is taking off all aboard!Comment -
Have to admit that Azarenka-Krunic match was pretty entertaining. Most entertaining women's match I've watched in a bit. Then she ruined life with her singing. Ouch.Comment -
Absolute breakdown from Raonic. On the verge of blowing the 1st set open, could not convert on 0-40 and then blew a 40-0 lead on his own serve to let Nishikori back on-serve. #GiraffeLifeComment -
There we go. Didn't blow that shitty service game from Nishikori.Comment -
Set 2 is all over the place, Milos breaks back 40 to love. LolComment -
My sister just posted this to remind me that we need to go back and see this in person again. Miss this place. Great event, one of my top three in sports. Mock me as usual, I would expect nothing less.

... so you aren't the Dos Equis guy?Comment -
Only for Halloween and when I use my Time Machine.Comment -
Yeah I've always had this vision in my head ep would somewhat resemble that guy lmaoComment -
Man Raonic's 2nd serve has been killed all nightComment
