Weeks 35 & 36 - US Open

This and that ...

Interesting scoreline, more particularly the swings for a men's match, Giannessi beat Kudla 0-6 6-4 6-1 1-6 6-0.

And a rather large number of "NO BIO PHOTO" slightly spoiling the effect of the scores from the official site ( certainly the mobile version ). Kyle was one, Thiem another and I am sure Del Potro ( former US Open winner even if he has been away rather ) was one earlier, but they would appear to have found a pic of him.

Kyrgios beat Aljaz 6-4 6-4 6-4 ( 4 breaks to 1 ) in 3 minutes short of 2 hours.

Andy wins the first set 6-3. He did have 3 SPs at 5-2* 40-0* but left it a further game.

And with that I'll leave him to go about his business ...

Didn't face a single bp all match.

Excellent. And (thanks to both Serena Williams and his own play) not a late, late night.

Aljaz Bedene's score was closer than I thought it would be: respectable showings all around.

Great win from Dan yesterday.

Really shows how far he has come in a year when the points for reaching the second round of a grand slam will replace the points from 2 futures tournaments...! prize money a tad better...

Round-up:

L128: Kyle Edmund WR 84 defeated (13) Richard Gasquet (FRA) WR 15 by 2, 2 & 3

L128: (14) Nick Kyrgios (AUS) WR 16 defeated Aljaz Bedene WR 77 by 4, 4 & 4 cry

L128: Dan Evans WR 64 defeated (WC) Rajeev Ram (USA) WR 104 by 6-2 4-6 7-5 6-1 smile

L128: (2) Andy Murray WR 2 defeated Lukas Rosol (CZE) WR 81 by 3, 2 & 2 smile

*****

L64: (WC) Ernesto Escobedo (USA) WR 201 (= CH) vs Kyle Edmund WR 84

Head-to-head: 1-0 (Kyle beat him by 7-5 6-7(4) 6-1 in the first round of the Binghamton Challenger last year)

L64: (27) Alexander Zverev (GER) WR 28 (CH = 24 at the start of this month) vs Dan Evans WR 64

Unsurprisingly, there is no head-to-head.

L64: Marcel Granollers (ESP) WR 45 (CH = 19 in July 2012 - he's 30) vs (2) Andy Murray WR 2

Head-to-head: 7-2 (Andy's won the last four, two on hard [the L64 in Indian Wells earlier this year; straight sets & the L32 of the Canadian Masters in 2013; also in straight sets] & two on clay [L16 of the Madrid Masters last year & L32 of the Rome Masters the year before that, both in straight sets). Granollers triumphed in the 2013 Rome Masters only by virtue of the fact that Andy retired (I think with a wrist injury) at the end of the second set, Andy having won the first, Granollers the second. Granollers hasn't actually beaten Andy "properly" since the quarter-finals of the Ettlingen Challenger (clay) in 2005. wink
