Tennis 2017

Nadal back to No 1 next Monday. Never thought that would happen again

[Buzzo]

Half of the top 10 are out injured. It's unbelievable..!

[Buzzo]

Raonic pulls out of the US also, along with Novak, Stan, Nishikori - but Murray plays.

If he can play himself into form having not played in a month or 2 then he has a chance.

Murray pulls out of the US open.

[Chris]

Is there anyone left?! Damn, good chance for an outsider to make some noise but hard to look past the GOAT though he's rumoured to have a knock too isn't he?

[Chris]

Cilic has gone, the bottom half of the draw genuinely isn't far away from looking like a challenger event!! Best player looks like John ****ing Isner for crying out loud. Amazing chance for a bum to make a final. Shame Fed, Nadal and Delpo are all on the same side.

[Buzzo]

Yeah Andy ****ed the seedlings by pulling out so late.

Would have been a great opportunity for him if he'd got himself fit. Another disappointing final steamroller for Roger or Rafa awaits.

[Chris]

Isner has gone. One of these guys will be in the US Open Final

[Buzzo]

I'd like to see Zverev get there, he's got a big future ahead of him.

[RichC]

wrong Zverev this is his older brother.

[Buzzo]

wrong Zverev this is his older brother.

well that one has had a mediocre past...

Dunno then, whoever gets to the final is going to get crushed by one of Rafa or Roger, or Delpo if he is fit enough.

[Shaggy]

Murray out for the season. Dear me.

It's such a punishing game and schedule, I'm surprised this hasn't happened before. Crazy to have so many of the top 10 out at the same time.

British Men's Tennis needs to look at this though, their will be a time when Andy Murray retires. Look at the interest in the US Open without Andy, it's just not there same in the women's game with Khonylta getting dumped out in the first round.

There is a decent young Scottish Player coming through Aiden Mchugh.

I'm playing my best ever tennis, but fear I've left it too late to make an impact on the World Stage

[Buzzo]

I hope Delpo beats Federer, he's my second favourite men's player..!

[RichC]

I can't believe he made it through was getting tonked by Thiem amazing he managed to win that match, can't help but think that will have taken a lot out of him to give Federer too many problems but hope I'm wrong.

The other side of the draw is car crash - Kevin Anderson vs Carreno Busta for a place in the US Open final !
