he was pretty poor, tbh. If Chung was mentally a bit stronger, he'd have won, Stan didn't play better or anything in the tiebreaks.

talking of poor performances, Bedene-Young is basically Futures-level, embarrassing watching the two of them.
Wasn't THAT bad I thought, Chung held his own, he plays well, attacks the net a lot, I like that. Stan scored 62 winners (ok, vs 66 UEs) and 26 aces, not bad for a "bad day".

lots of those were only winners because Chung is not very fast around the court. would have been 40-65 against someone better and that's a bad ratio indeed. Chung was decent, but repeatedly mentally weak and he really needs to work on court conditioning.

also Murray is dreadful in this second set. Mannarino's level has dropped and Murray's responded by dropping his further, literally just dumping centre court floaters into the net.

I've seen this way too often from Murray, it's why I can't stand him. He draws people in with his antics like Kyrgios. His match with Bennetau at Cincy is an all time classic though.

Somebody get Jaxk Soxk on a doping regimen. Brah has prom night levels of endurance. I don't care if he starts balding at 28 like Muzza and Rafa, it needs to happen.
Youzhny needs to retire. He's a waste of space in these draws. When you get broken twice in two sets by Isner something is wrong.

I don't think Sock's problem was conditioning, he had heat stroke. I'm not really sure how he can feasibly do much about that, aside from maybe fluid control.

Not sure what's going on with Murray, this is genuinely dreadful. He's not flattened out a single shot the entire match.

This is terrible from Murray.

i think mannarino won 11 points in a row at the end of that set. hhehehe.

only thing that is injured is his pride, having regularly been blitzed by a 34 year old semi retiree.

Murray plz. I still think he'll win in 5

Probably, but it hardly bodes well for the rest of the tournament. You just can't go 2 sets down in the second round as a title contender

wtf Murray

This kid can play. He is making it look so effortless.

it's not the most positive sign, but if he comes through and plays well in the next match it's not that dramatic. djokovic went 2 sets down in the 4th round of wimbledon this year, as did federer in the 3rd in 2012.

Murray also came from 2 setsdown to beat Verdasco when he won Wimbledon (I think that was the QFs). I think a lot of this match is down to Mannarino's awkward style getting inside his head.

will go very quick now, this is done in an a bit more than an hour.

He has a real bad problem with conditioning and playing in the heat. Maybe it's genetic but he needs a doping regimen to stay competitive. No reason in 2015 there should be so many retirements due to fatigue and cramps.
Chris Fowler is an insufferable cunt.

Great match out there. Both guys probing and extracting errors from their opponent. Donald showing some heart out there too.
Haha that handshake between Lisicki and Giorgi.
Is there a gif or vine of it?
John Dunbar
correct about everything
isner is virtually through, but it remains to be seen can karlovic set up a clash of the titans.
Not sure, it wasn't anything extraordinary, just as cold as a handshake can be.

Karlovic is 4-4 in the 5th set. Thank goodness the US open is home of the 5th set tiebreaker so an end is in sight

thats more like it.
John Dunbar

considering it ended with a bagel, the loser should have the decency to just say too good and suck it up.
i think the worst handshake i have ever seen was between radwanska and lisicki at wimbledon. it does highlight a bit of a difference between men's and women's tours, since there is no way two established male players would not have hugged it out after a match like that, but radwanska barely even looked at lisicki. really soured me on that brat.

wait, Becker is a pundit on Sky? Isn't that sort of a conflict of interest? he stopped doing that for the BBC after he became Djokovic's coach.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
bias, yes, but how is that a conflict of interest? it's not like becker can affect the outcomes of matches by commenting on them.
Basically a normal Giorgi handshake.
