.....At this point in time- Ponchi and I would beat Rajeev and Joe at the US Open. (*And I haven't played in a few years.)

[ponchi101]

I was about to be moved by your choice of partner, and then I realized:
"Wait! He is saying Rajeev and Joe would lose to a hapless team!!!!!"
So....

(But I get your point )

LOL, Korda and Gasquet were fighting desperately to determine who would lose this match. Korda was up 5-3, 30-15- and I think Korda had been up a break earlier in the third set? Then, Korda loses the plot, and Gasquet goes up 4-1 in the third set tiebreaker. Gasquet double faults and hits an error. Korda goes up for his first match point at 6-5 in the tiebreaker. Then, two errors from Korda. Gasquet gets to match point, and- you guessed it- an error from Gasquet. Finally- Korda managed to hit one fewer errors to win the match.

Also, in the third set, Korda had a bizarre situation where, I believe he tripped, and remained on his back on the court for an uncomfortable period of time- seeming in some pain. Looked like he might have to default. But- then he eventually go back up to play.

Riveting stuff.

Borna is my new Richard.

After all that drama, Korda has pulled out of the SF with an ankle injury sustained in the third set of his match against Gasquet

UGH

I forgot to post today's OoP.
Coric, defending champion, and Baez have split sets.

Coric isn't defending champion - Adrian Mannarino won this event last year.

After battling for more than three hours in that semifinal, Coric and Baez will play again in the first round of the U.S. Open.

History (both theirs and the usual faceplant of tournament winners the week before a slam) says Coric will get his revenge in the rematch.
