Kyle Edmund beats Richard Gasquet 6-2 6-2 6-3 in the first round. 

Brilliant performance. Brilliant result. When that forehand is on, it's dangerous.

Murray's seeded draw in the US Open would be:

R1 - Rosol

R2 - Granollers

R3 - Simon

R4 - F Lopez

QF - Nishikori

SF - Wawrinka

F - Djokovic

 

That's not bad to be honest. The sort of draw you'd look at then be glad the tournament isn't played on clay.

Why would you be glad it isn't played on clay? Murray's game on that surface is superb now.

That's besides the point though, very good draw for Andy, he's certainly reaping the benefits right now of his Number 2 seeding.  Also I don't see any way Wawrinka makes it to the semi finals, he's on a terrible run of form.

Just because essentially all of the players he's seeded to play are better on clay than any other surface.

Don't know if anyone saw this, Novak came out and said today that "private issues" popped up at an inopportune time (read, just before the Querrey match) during Wimbledon, and it wasn't injury that caused his loss to Querrey at all.

No real clue as to what those personal issues are, but people had been speculating something happened after it came out that his wife wasn't in his box for the Querrey match and had actually left London altogether. 

Novak didn't go into further detail just said the problem has been solved.

Private issues like the banning of meldonium I wonder?

Konta through..  Good on her, she at least making a go of it in the girls side.

Watson and Robson  total kid on merchants.

irs all about Murray. Always has been. 4 years from now the rest can bum about qualifying for round 3 in a slam..

I do think Edmund has a chance at cracking the top of the game. Good serve, booming forehand. He has some work to do in other areas but if his work ethic is anywhere near Murrays he has a chance at the top of the game.

Woeful game serving for the set from Murray, will still take the set though.

He is starting to kick on now fucking brilliant watching him when he is like this as opposed to dropping 2nd sets like the whole Olympics.

That stadium is amazing 24k for a tennis match.

Frightening thing is Murray aged 14 knew the LTA are a bunch of incompetent asshats and left to go training in Spain. The LTA themselves haven't produced anyone of note since god knows when.

Honestly tennis has missed out the last 10 years to really capitalise on the Big4 imo. Federer v. Nadal at their primes would have sold out a 50k seater. 

Obviously the issue is you can't see the fucking ball past a certain point.
