Yank tournament, Yank spelling. Seems fair.

But this is in Pakistan.

*shrug*
Yank spell checker. Merlian uses it too.

Brit Anne Keothavong beats the Italian 25th seed Schiavone to move into the 3rd round (last 32), the first British woman to reach this stage of the US Open since Jo Durie in 1991.

Blimey - first the Olympics, then a decent JAMODI cricket side, and now (the most ridiculous idea of the lot) a GB female tennis player threatening to move into the world's top 50.

Who'd have thunk it?

Aye, saw that.

We really should be better at tennis with at least a couple of men and women in the top 50. Bit depressing that the British girl who won junior wimbledon was raised in Oz.

Not a fan of ping pong then?

3 D ping pong

Rohan and Aisam lost in doubles

Aisam also lost to Moya in singles(3 sets to 1)- Aisam had 33 aces but that wasn't enough

Aisam had 33 aces

Hitting 33 aces is huge.

How about the big fish-es? How are Nadal, Federer, Novak, Roddik etc doing?

Federer has a very easy draw until the semis where he will potentially face Joke.

the state of US tennis is quite worrying

friken Sam Query is the best young tennis player in America.

Sam might face Nadal in the 4th round.

Murray looks like he's on his way out, thank goodness. Him and joke are the only two players currently playing that I cannot stand.

Murray won the 3rd set and then the other player stopped running in the 4th

currently 2-2
Melzer playing better now

Murray wins...

And didn't Fish win convincingly?

He played beautifully!

I thought Federer was going to go out last night. It doesn't bode well for his title ambitions if he isn't putting away players like Andreev with ease. On form you'd have to say he is possibly 4th favourite at this stage, maybe worse. Would love him to prove me wrong though.

Fed is gone. Rafa is a shoe in.

Djoko's still in, right?

I'm glad she is still in it!

Huh? I checked on the US open website for the results and she was. Is it far behind?
