U.S. open time!

Watson out already upsets a plenty so far as well. Ivanovic and nishikori gone already

Ivanovic losing to Cibulkova is not an upset

It's like when Derren Brown predicted the lottery numbers, after the lottery numbers were drawn.

Ivanovic is a grade a bottler anyway

Always. If your picking early exits in a grand slam Anna is always a good place to start.

Still a blatant upset though I apperciate cibulkova is better than her current ranking and it was a banana skin but even at her best she merely skirted around the top ten ivanovic is currently 7th and is a former grand slam winner and world no.1

The Bencic match last night was crazy. 0-40 down on her serve to lose the match, after being 5-2 up, somehow held her serve won the tie break and won the last set.

Where's the prediction there mate?

Just saying it's not a shock, Cibulkova is top 10 calibre, Ivanovic is pathetic.

Bit over the top, shes massively inconsistent but on her day she's as good as anyone.

She has the odd good run, but she's been pretty pathetic for years.

You're right in terms of her being inconsistent, that can be said for quite a few top 10 players though. She has been on the receiving end of some embarrassing shitty losses, that's why I called her pathetic.

She's not as bad as Jankovic when it comes to bottle jobs. I'd never put money on either of them.

Muguruza struggling against Konta. What win that would be for the Brit!

[kingfox]

Yep good battle this between Muguruza & Konta.

[The Horse's Mouth]

Murray

[Facecloth]

Murray

Come on you must have watched enough of Murray to form an opinion on him enough to hate him so much that you realise until the final balls hit he's still in it against 99% of players on tour and he's probably gonna make you look like a mug laughing so soon.

[The Horse's Mouth]

he's obviously going to win it, but that start was horrendous.

Not how you start, it is how you finish... Murray won this tournament and Wimbledon when being two sets down in matches... Ever since the third set there has only been one winner

Murray

Whoops.

I never said he was losing, I just laughed at what an horrendous start he had.

[leicsmac]

I never said he was losing, I just laughed at what an horrendous start he had.

And he's not the first top level player to have such a start in an early stage Slam match, nor the last. So why the singling out?

Kei and Watson 

Now calm down, there's no need to get so precious over an off the cuff comment. The reason I said Murray was because that was the game happening fgs

[foxes_rule1978]

First two sets I had never seen Murray miss so many break points... but the fact he was creating them meant it was only a matter of time until he got his return working and started to punish Mannarino...

Fair enough.

I tend to roll my eyes when Murray fails to get out of bed until two sets into a slam match these days, because it's happened so often before and the vast majority of the time he ends up winning it anyway.

Facecloth is always so fvcking serious.

I suppose I could just say something idiotic then claim I was joking or it was "banter" when people pull me up on how stupid it is eh King Fox.

[kingfox]

Wozniacki out also, only three of the top ten Women remain
