Its good to see young Mannarino playing in the US Open....Its just so disapointing that when I watched him a couple of years ago playing in the Edinbrugh futures not one of the youn Brits has been able to replicate his progress...he didnt look a complete player or even several levels above the others but he did look mature on the court and now he is playing in a GS as of right..well done young Adrian. One more set and he will have won a round into the bargain.

94deg. forecast. I hope he comes out determined to win in 3 and get off into the ice bath asap.

Oh dear, Nalbandian having a medical timeout and having his ankle heavily strapped.

I do wish he hadn't tweeted about the heat separating the boys from the men,  or the 'workers from the shirkers'  (or words to that effect) .  I just knew when he said that he would get scheduled at peak heat time..... again    !!!!

At least the tropical storm/hurricane on its was should mean he only has to play one match in this heat though.

If Andy ends up playing Dustin Brown in the second round, I'm thinking Dustin will be a touch more used to huricanes.

If  there's semi hurricane weather about come Friday, he'll be like "C'mon, what's the problem, let's just play man"

On current forecasts Friday morning should still be fine. Hurricane Earl should be arriving off the coast of New York (about 150 miles out to sea) late Friday afternoon.

A snappy 3 set win for Andy and Llodra next rounnd would suit me fine.

Fingers crossed !
