Said all along Dan Evans would get top 50 

 

Fair play anyway, obviously loves Flushing Meadows. Edmund think has a pretty fair chance against Isner.

 

Konta vs Bencic could be a cracker later on. Muguruza flopping again the other day, another one overhyped.

 

Could potentially get three players into the top 32 at one point if Edmund pulls his finger out next season and Evans keeps getting results and playing every tournament going.

Demolition job from Konta, 29 Winners/6 Unforced Errors 

 

Solid player, solid season.

Imperious display, she will keep moving up I think, has a lot more consistency then a lot of the top 10

Just a few little steps she needs to make, break into that top 10 and start beating fellow top 10 players on a consistent basis. 

 

Her performance today was one of her best all round displays, faultless. More of that to come hopefully.

If she starts doing that she'll be top 5 or better, as you've gleefully pointed out on numerous occasions women's game lacks players that consistently do well.

If she can reach more QF, SF then she'll get there in no time. There's hardly any consistency nowadays, Serena & Kerber by far the best two this season, hence them being ranked one & two. The rest of the top 10 go through good spells & bad spells, Radwanska & Halep especially.

Boom!

 

Had a feeling he could pull it off, well played Kyle 

 

A rather fresh Novak next though 

[leicsmac]

Fantastic win for Kyle. Wins him a boost up the world rankings and a glamour tie next up.

 

Novak could be fresh from not having to play much, could be rusty from not playing much, could be a bit of both. We'll see.

[Facecloth]

Murray making very hard work of Lorenzi. Sneaked the first set on a breaker and is 5-2 down in the second.

[foxes_rule1978]

who is this imposter trying to be Murray but can't serve and hitting huge amount of error

[kingfox]

@Facecloth time to change the channel, your best mate is on.

[Facecloth]

I know, and he's currently serving for the first set against Wawrinka.

 

Which he's taken

Evans takes the first set! last two years when he has taken the game seriously he looks immense... 

 

Well welcome back the real Murray 

Edited 3 September 2016 by foxes_rule1978

[Facecloth]

Evans takes the 3rd set to go 2-1 up.

[foxes_rule1978]

Deeping a bit now  but I'm sure he can still push Stan, it is a remarkable performance regardless, against one of the best in the current game...

Well, I follow it a lot, some time? Yes maybe he hasn't been at his best this year but he is still ranked 3 in the world and has two slams to his name. He is better than some of the top 10 who also go through similar spells

I apologise but if Stan is ranked 3rd wow. He can't be that in the race.

Hes 7th in the race.

 

Still a struggling Stan would still be favourite in this. Would be a huge win for Evans.

Yep, would have been odds on for straight sets...

His attitude pissed me off three years ago.

 

Like Marcus Willis, his girlfriend has probably made a lot of difference.
