Week 35 - US Open main draw (women)
Permalink  

So that's my Monday teatime/evening viewing schedule sorted.
Court 13 is a televised court so I assume Sky will show that then followed by Hev's match straight after. Hopefully the timings will work out and we will be able to see both matches in their entirety, unlike at Wimby when I missed the end of Bally's match against Peng.

Bookies odds: Hev 16/1, Annie K 8/5, Laura 5/4, Bally 8/15.
The guy who goes by the twitter name sluggahjells and provided all the updates on Laura's matches is very confident Laura can beat Morita who isn't in great form. I must say initially I felt she was the clear underdog but now I'm beginning to think the upset is on if she can play her best tennis.
I was looking at Laura's serving stats for her match with Anderson and noticed the service speeds are back to where they were at last years Wimby. She had a blip during the grass court season this year so that is very encouraging. She also seems to be much leaner than she was during the grass court season and maybe that is helping her as well.

Overall I'm looking for 2 wins, one from Bally and one from either Annie K / Laura, and having seen what happened to Usain Bolt this morning there is never any certainty in sport and so Hev always has a chance in a 2 horse race.

11.0 am start 4pm UK - weather permitting.

Heather is 3rd on Arthur Ash Stadium - hope she enjoys big venues.

Laura is 2nd on Court 13

It is certainly a big court, but for a women's match during the daytime on opening Monday, it is also likely to be an empty court, and lacking in any kind of atmosphere.

If anyone can fill it though, you would bet on Maria Sharapova. If the top draw in the womens game against a recent junior champion (the yanks may need reminding via their brochures, but nonetheless) cant get an atmosphere then I'm afraid nothing else can! R1 matches dont get much better IMO.

The schedule for tomorrow now says "This match may be moved." against just one match ... Hev's

I guess as long as they put her on a televised/streamed court, it's not too bad.

That's a shame.
But with Sharapova, they'll definitely make sure it's televised.

 I'm sure it said that yesterday when I looked, but with play to start late on Arthur Ashe anyway it would have to have been switched to allow for the night session.

EDIT its now second on Ashe so effectively no change to the expected starting time.

While were waiting for tomorrow, here's some great comedy announcing from last week's appearance by a recent "Wimbleton" semi-finalist (via TF):

Heather is now 2nd on Arthur Ashe with play on that court starting at 13.00 local, 18.00 UK. So Laura should be on around 17.30 and Heather around 19.30.

So was Ken Thomas doubling up as the on-court announcer in Dallas as well as doing the Radio Tennis stuff? It certainly sounds like him!

Nishikori retired v Cipolla, so Laura should be on very soon.

Stream available as soon as i can post the link!

If you go to Livescore tennis page and click on the match you should be able to find some streams

 

Link 1 is working fine for me, but I cant post it as a link on here due to javascript things!
