Paire will be a good player. Still a major shock for Nishikori though, he's going to lose nearly 1200 ranking points with that defeat.

He's 26 mind you. Should have found some consistency by now.

Bouchard wins though. Hurrah! Jankovic is the first of mine to go in the dream team game.

Wow I didn't think Paire was all that, I thought he was 22/23 at the most. Yes perhaps he should've made more of his talent by now I agree.

Gills Simon out - guess who has him!

Seems to be quite a few retirements which has ruined the draw a bit.

SALTIRE · Sep 2, 2015

That roof on Ashe is enormous! It could make the atmosphere inside more akin to an indoor court which would suit Federer.

Anyway Murray wins a fairly tight first set 7/5.

SALTIRE · Sep 2, 2015

Kyrgios just cannot live with Murray's backhand. There is times when he just doesn't look bothered, a really strange player is the Aussie.

Super_horns · Sep 2, 2015

Quite fitting in a way Mardy Fish's career ends with an attack of the nerves losing from 2-1 and a break up.

Fancy Chardy to beat Ferrer next round?

Super_horns · Sep 3, 2015

Konta looks like claiming a big scalp in Muguruza.

Decent win.

Leewilson · Sep 3, 2015

Konta was awesome throughout. Fantastic serving and groundstrokes that would have held up against any female player. The backhand was a thing of beauty today.

SALTIRE · Sep 3, 2015

Murray struggling here, currently a set down and 5/4 with and break down against Mannarino. He can't seem to hit through him.

Super_horns · Sep 3, 2015

Murray on the other hand is having a shocker!

Djokovic wil be loving it if he goes out!

SALTIRE · Sep 3, 2015

Two sets down now, not looking good for him unfortunately.

Leewilson · Sep 3, 2015

Mannarino is playing out of his skin to be honest. Djokovic and Federer have gone 2 sets down plenty of times before. The top players manage to find a way out of the hole more often than not though. Winner of the 3rd set wins the match for me (obviously in Mannarino's case haha).

Murray has a good record from two sets down, but he doesn't look to be that inspired today, just hitting shots back and forth with nothing on them. He has got a break early in the third but he hasn't been holding his serve that great so we'll see how it goes this set.

Master D · Sep 3, 2015

Mannarino can't keep this up, Murray will hopefully come back and he basically broke himself to lose the first 2 sets anyway. Just needs to get his shit together and remember that he is a top player. Kyrios and then this guy, I'm not sure how on earth that has been allowed to happen in the first 2 rounds of a Slam.

The Iron · Sep 3, 2015

If Murray wins the 3rd set i fully expect him to come back and win the match.

In all fairness, Murray is rarely in inspired form when he's two sets down. Not unless it's against a Djokovic or Federer as he's normally powerless if they're on it. But against this standard of opponent, they're normally playing above par with Murray slightly below par before the gears change.

SALTIRE · Sep 3, 2015

Ok, a wee bit back on track with 4/1 and a double break in the third, and he looks relaxed enough so lets see if he can do it. Never write him off.

Watching it on ESPN, its bloody annoying as it has a ticker running along the bottom constantly with fucking tweets! Will this narcissism ever stop!?!

The Iron · Sep 3, 2015

I'm streaming it online and it's actually a really good picture for a change. Murray up a break in the 4th set.

Master D · Sep 3, 2015

Mannarino still hasn't read the memo, he's meant to fade away quietly here and not put up a fight.

Yeah me too, Sky's stream was awful, I couldn't see the ball properly during points, but I found this one and its fine.

He's levelled, two sets all now.

Do you use first row sports? Now that my internet connection is quicker i'm able to watch it online without any problems. Although sometimes the commentary is in a different language :lol:

Na time4tv, Saddleradd put me on to it. No HD streams, but most of them are consistent enough.

Master D · Sep 3, 2015

All over and he comes back, I wish he wouldn't do this to us all the time. I don't think the additional sets will have taken that much out of him though to be honest as it was fairly comfortable in the end.

Indeed, no other tennis player I've even seen in over thirty years of watching it, has put his supporters through the wringer so much! Anyway, through to play Bellucci.

Super_horns · Sep 5, 2015

More "shocks" (Nadal/Ferrer etc) and retirements (Goffin was in front as well) then - even Serna had a tough match for a while.

I say shocks but maybe not so?

Master D · Sep 5, 2015

It's not a shock that he lost but the real Nadal doesn't lose from 2 sets up, really doesn't look good for him in terms of ever winning another slam.

SALTIRE · Sep 5, 2015

Lets hope so anyway.

Leewilson · Sep 5, 2015

Konta now beats Petkovic in straight sets. Go on girl!!

SALTIRE · Sep 5, 2015

Wow, good job Konta!

Munkiki · Sep 5, 2015

Federer broken for the first time in 79 service games. And to love, at that.
