Can't stand NoVac...but Krygios is a complete and utter knob.

He is indeed, but I’d still prefer to see him win rather than Djokovic. Although it is looking unlikely at the moment

Oh just shut the F up Krygios, give your trap a rest for once.

Come on Novak.

Anyone else see Luis Boa Morte in the crowd when Djokovic climbed up thru the crowd at the end?

No vax is just a machine. He can trade shots with you all day until you miss one. He just wears his opponents down. So impressive. Shame he's a bit of a **** though.

Raducanu has been beaten in the first round of the US Open - the one she won so memorably last year.

I said to a few people a while ago it wouldn’t surprise me if she never won another meaningful tournament again - how she won the US Open last year I don’t know, and I hope she can turn this form around, but never feel that confident when she plays a match at the moment.

In top line sport it's harder to stay at the top than get there. Makes you admire all those dominant champions who do it year in year out.

Raducanu is a mystery to me. The talent must be there but clearly there is other stuff. I thought it strange she immediately split with her coach after winning last year, seemed bizarre to me. Has money and fame already hit her focus?

There was probably a lot of star-alignment in her run to last year's title. Didn't she face another unseeded girl in the final? Maybe it was an unrepeatable fluke combo of good play on her part married to all the front-runners falling. A bit like Leicester.

IMHO, she's a fluke. A top 100 player for sure, and maybe a top 40 player. But I don't see that Grand Slam quality about her. Hope I'm wrong of course and this year's the blip, not last year.

Crazy Nick dumped the holder out yesterday, seems like he's found the control he needed to convert his talent into success. Say what you like about the man, he's 100% box office dynamite, a welcome antidote to the anodyne players of recent memory.
