I always thought that Stakhovsky's GF, Anfisa was pretty damn hot.

On topic:
I expect Wawarinka to produce some good tennis but Murray come through this in 4.

That's a pretty big claim. I find it impossible to choose between them so I'll take both :)

And then my alarm clock goes off.

LOL....Her eyes..!!!!

Whether Novak can have a fair chance with Nadal is up to Stan now. Stan will either beat Murray or take him to 5 sets.

We need to resurrect the Nadal - Djokovic rivalry since the Fedal rivalry is basically done, and the Djokovic - Murray rivalry is painfully boring.

I like the Nadal vs Murray rivalry best of all. They bring out the best in each other. Nadal vs Djokovic is almost as boring as Djokovic vs Murray. Djokovic vs Murray are errorfests and while Nadal vs Djokovic arent those they are never ending grindfests. Nadal and Murray tend to bring out the shotmaker and agressive counterpuncher in one another, and each use their variety to throw the other off too.

Nadal/Murray is cool but a- only on hard courts, it's very one-sided on other surfaces, b- they haven't played thrilling 5 setters in slams like Rafa/Nole (except their very first slam meet, AO, way back.)

Oh man, the match just started, and Murray is playing SO DEFENSIVE. Like, even more so than usual! By a lot! I'm not sure why.
 
Why is this not the feature match tonight? Defending champ vs 9 seed >>>>>>> Djokovic beatdown of overmatched Youz.

I've watched so little of this US Open and it's bumming me out.

I bet you weren't complaining last night when they had ******** and LOLbredo on the night session. :rolleyes:
As a matter of fact I was. They should have put Ferrer/Gasquet in prime time. It was obvious it would be the more competitive match.
ETA: maybe they want the longer match in daytime because they don't want the night session to run too late...

I feel for batz, he has no choice to support such a pleb because as you know folks, he's British...

Poor batz. :(

Batz is fine.

I am more worried about you Robert!
Muzza in 4 but could go 5 or the other way if Stan keeps executing like he has been.
I know some people get frustrated with the Scot , others hate him, some bored, some indifferent but he is always trying to get the job done.

So we might get either Djokovic vs Murray who beat him in a five-set 5-hour thriller at USO 2012, or Djokovic vs Wawrinka which also went 5 hours, 12-10 in the fifth set at AO2013. Djokovic's run might come to an end in the SF. Then, if Nadal won USO2013, he'd be 3620 points clear of Djokovic in the race. Djokovic would have to have a near-perfect end to 2013 to stand any chance at ending #1.

Wawrinka holds, 3-2.
