Was having a look on Twitter and came across Eugenie Bouchard who made quite an interesting remark concerning Serena at the VMA's suggesting she should be more focussed on the US Open!

Needless to say it went down like a shit sandwich!

good game between pouille n Agut.

wow just saw that Cilic lost tamely to Sock! Must have been injured too.

Youshny being another one retiring.

Another retirement? Pathetic!

Bizarre. I guess he did not fancy the physical effort.

Very likely. Played a 5 setter. Must've figured he was onto a loser when being broken! 

Disgrace. Should be fined for it. Makes a mockery of the sport.

very gutsy from Pouille. He is much less professional than Agut but wil soon be a much better, more complete player.

Well you coudl say that the tennis establishment having slowed down the conds so much forcing those long rallies have made a mockery of the sport too!

Tennis was never made to be won by the best legs but by the shot makers. By slowing the balls they have given an unfair advantage to the DHBHers.

I really like Pouille. Great character, player and so skilled. he makes easy mistakes, that's his downside for now....but give him a year or two.....

A really superb match between Pouille and Agut!

Hopefully he will be able to recover to face Nadal.

Or shoudl I say

Hopefully he will be able to recover to face Kutzenov.

Great result for Edmund. What a tournament he is having. Djokovic next. Needs a miracle!

Just watched the highlights of the Edmund/Isner match. Great to see a British player dictate with the FH.

Yes, he has nice flat inside out FH, but his BH is a big weakness.

I didn't see his match with Isner, and didn't expect him to win, tbh, mainly as I didn't exoect he could return well.

Was Isner off his best?

He was injured, pulled his hamstring, couldn't even serve.

Plus a natural physique, not a fitness monster, 34 but...he is no Ferrer!

Nole looked cautious, so def an injury there.

Isner looks jaded after the 2nd set.

Edmund played solid tennis. Hits the ball cleanly and flat.

Needs to work on his temperament in the big moments.
