US Open Tennis
Kvitova won 6-2 6-1 - plays Brit Johanna Konta next
Isner won 6-3 6-4 (opponent retired) - plays Roger Federer next
Wawrinka won 6-3 7-6 6-4 - plays Donald Young next
Both our men are in the bottom half of the draw, away from Djokovic until the final. Wawrinka should be able to beat Donald Young, who has had two consecutive five set matches but then should face Andy Murray in the Quarter Final. Isner has got to his allotted seeding position & will have a tough task against Federer, who has been very impressive so far.
Kvitova should reach the semi final where she is likely to play the winner of Azarenka v Halep to win our place bet. Then hopefully a shot at the title.
I thought Serena might face a run of tough matches but several of those potential opponents have disappeared. Maddison Keys could give her a tough game next but she then most likely faces Venus before a semi against Bouchard or Makarova.
Looking forward to Isner v Federer tomorrow. Our man hasn't lost a set yet and is a tie break specialist but Federer looks back to his best.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
