Great win for James Mcgee today. He has qualified for the main draw at the US Open.

Big day today for Irish Tennis as our top player James McGee makes his debut in the main draw of a grand slam. McGee ranked 195 in the world takes on World number 108 Aleksandr Nedovyesov of Kazakhstan. If McGee wins it will set up a mouth watering match against Tsonga. I think the game is going to be on Sky sports later.

He was 5-1 down in the third after sharing first two sets a few minutes ago

He lost in a tie break in the fourth. Battled well especially going a break down in that 4th set. Was a great showing and he will learn a lot from this in what he needs to fitness wise. Maybe he should contact Kev for the fitness advice. :slight_smile:

Ferrer beaten by Gilles Simon.

Not surprised by that, Ferrer is just a grinder. Federer on now after the wozniacki/sharapova match.

The former Mrs McIlroy after beating the big 6 ft 2 grunting Floridian.

Was delighted she won. That grunting cunt is so annoying. Hopefully she can get to final now.

Granollers has taken the first set against Federer 6-4

Imperious stuff from Fed since. Looks to be cruising to a four set victory.

Clinical performance from Andy to dispose of Tsonga in straight sets 7-5 7-5 6-4. Next up Novak in the quarter finals.

Canā€™t see Murray winning that one. Djokovic is on fire.

When is the Federer match going to played?

Federer is on tomorrow night in the late match against Bautista Agut. Heā€™ll walk that. Baby Fed will be a tough proposition in the quarters though. Would expect the winner of that quarter to make the final.

Bit strange they didnā€™t schedule it today.

Wawrinka is in a battle here with Robredo.

Stan has exploded into life in the last half hour and will win in four. Heā€™s been fucking unbelievable in this set. Was very lucky to win the third though.

Wawrinka does this all the time. He seems to go asleep for a set or so and them comes out and plays unbelievable stuff. If he could do that for a full match the guy will win more majors, he canā€™t do that against the top guys.

Monfils two sets up on Dimitrov.

And he gets the job done in the third, despite spending half the set doubled over his racket. Itā€™s rather hot there today. Big win for him.

When is Djoko vs Murrayā€¦tomorrow ??
