If you’re married with a family Nino then you’re half a chance with her. Seems to be her thing :laughing:

Nino’s girl through to the 4th round. 6-2 in the last. Too powerful.

Was going to post this, but saw that you did. Very good read.

Considering they have put a warning on the packaging, it’s most likely dodgy. They should just let everyone dope because they’re incapable of policing it properly or consistently.

I started watching this match this morning at the Red Cross, as l was donating plasma. Only saw snippets of the first couple of sets. Popryn looks to be building a promising career.

Good win by Thompson to get through.
Potentially an all Australian fourth round against Demon.
Demon won the first but got beaten in the tiebreak to drop the second

Cant be 100% with that hip Demon

I’d be backing Jordan Thompson against De Minaur given their relative form/preparation.

Demon is actually a bit stiff that he’s come into the US Open with no tennis and after an injury because this is the kindest path to a grand slam semi final he could ever imagine if he was 100% fit and in form.

Evan’s is cooked, battling with injury and basically just standing there. I’d expect him to pull the pin soon.
Demon won the third 6-0 and will do the same in this set

No surprises given Evans played the longest match in US Open history a few days ago. Was bound to catch up with him.

It’s been an absolutely dream draw for Demon to get to a 4th round so far.

Injured and Demon going for the kill

Coco Gauff horrible there. 19 Double Faults, 11 in the third set alone. Out she goes.

In the men’s side Rublev and Ruud gone so that’s another 2 top 10 seeds gone.
Still think it will be one of the druggie, the wife basher or the small cat that wins it but a huge chance for someone else like Demon to get in the mix and get to a semi

Popyrin vs BIG FOE is underway!

Popyrin was looking great early but he lost the plot from 4-3 up. Unforced errors flying off his racquet. Tiafoe takes the first 6-4.

Popyrin consolidates the break in the second set. Up 4-1.
