    Fantastic race. What a moment for Gasly! Thrilled for him given he was demoted by Red Bull not so long ago.

    That was great, other than the Ferrari buses.

    Just seen the highlights, delighted for Gasly and seeming a genuinely interesting race.

    Look forward to seeing a new US Open Champion. Hope either Tiafoe or the young Canadian wins it.

    Perhaps this incident saved him from being beaten in a normal way. It is all hypothetical now but I had a feeling at the start that someone new would triumph in NY. It is arguably the most Open of the Opens as Del Potro, Stan, Murray and Cilic have managed wins here during this period of dominace by Fed, Rafa and Djoko that eluded them elsewhere or in the case of Stan and Murray, saw only the briefest of interruption to the seamless dominance.

    Where there’s blame there’s a claim.
    In the USA of all places, and on camera.

    I would accept a charity donation, but wouldn’t want anything else other than an apology if I wasn’t hurt.

    Djokovic has come out to defend the line judge against abuse and death threats.
    What is wrong with these people!

    She did make a right meal of it, to be fair

    Good luck to the remaining participants in the Women's and Men's singles and doubles. Time for Thiem to deliver but the last 8 is full of talent so any of them could win without being "intimidated" by Nadal, Federer or Djokovic, Facing these 3 must be akin to facing Anderson and Broad on a seaming wicket.

    She was hit in the throat which can be fatal if the vagus is stimulated. There is also the element of shock which can stun. Imagine if you were in a pub and someone threw a glass at you and knocked you over....bet you’d take that well.

    I am an adult, and therefore I am not going to say anything about stimulating the vagus.

    Nor am I. Not because I’m an adult but because I haven’t got a clue where that is either!
