Um, no they're not - they just walked off again.

Play suspended on the outside courts for today. So no live tennis until the Ashe and Armstrong evening sessions in an hour.

Jo must be playing very well going by the scoreline 6-1 4-0

Is anyone watching this? Is Jo playing as well as the score suggests?

Very comfortable. 12 games in a row inside an hour. Played very well, but didn't really need do much. Lot's of DFs from Gasparyan and just didn;t really have aything to trouble Jo.

Hoping Zhang-Alexandrova goes long and into 3 sets here (Zhang serving for set at *5-3) and then it's scheduled reasonably early tomorrow. Zhang is the 33rd seed, but Alexandrova was the pre match fave, and beat her at either Toronto or Cincy a few weeks ago. Zhang has a fair bit crowd support here.

Zhang and Alexandrova into a decider. 7-6 4-6. That first set alone lasted longer than Jo's entire match - she could actually benefit from that washout yesterday.

What an amazing match from Taylor Townsend to beat Halep in the 3rd set TB.

Over ONE HUNDRED times she came to the net

Just brilliant. Form both of them. But obviously from the underdog qualifier in particular. (How is anyone in qualis in their home grand slam when they're 116 in the word?)

And given all the cr**p that girl has had to put with in the past...... just joy.

Six Americans in the last 32 is a big haul.

And some interesting stories too.

Always pleased to see Ons Jabeur doing well who (to my knowledge) is the only Muslim player at this level.

Naomi v Coco must be the programmers' dream match....

1) Only if your time-frame is very recentAlso, the borderline hostile hyper-jingoism in Flushing and Forest HIlls before it has always tended to help over represent the home contingent.

2) Yes, and if her federation had ever stopped interfering in her life and career she really could have been a perennial contender

3) Any match involving CoCo is nobody's dream match.

1) I meant a big haul for this year (compared to every other country, and every other Grand Slam country in their own slam)

2) Completely agree

3) Don't agree I've watched the girl live, last year, and this year, and love to watch her.
