    The crowd reactions as each game goes with serve are interesting ... not really cheers, more muted applause, sighs and people I think wanting to boo kind of

    Some guy has already shouted out get on with it we wanna see Nadal, about 15 games ago !!

    Anderson's broken Isner ... after 49 games !! He fell and had to hit a left handed forehand in that game to do it as well

    US open might be the last time there are matches like that, can see players asking for a 5th set tie break, both on the ATP and WTA.

    Anderson actually spoke well after that and seems likeable

    His tennis is annoying however

    This has probably been coming for him as he's an effective grass court player with a big serve and fairly good movement and touch for a tall man, shown by how well he's gone at Queens and Wimbledon in the last couple of years

    Nadal or Djokovic will take him out in 3 though

    watched a bit got bored switched to TdF

    PS Hewitt Reid won in straight sets - good match too and only 3 sets with tie break in all so guaranteed not to last the same as a working day :emoticon-0148-yes:
