Even more controversy for the 'bad boy' of tennis, Nick Kygrios who has been fined by the ATP following a 'lewd' remark to French Open champion Stan Wawrinka about his girlfriend during their Rogers Cup match in Montreal.

 

Novak Djokovic complained about he could smell 'cannabis' during his semi-final match at the Rogers Cup against Jeremy Chardy.

 

 

Even more controversy for the 'bad boy' of tennis, Nick Kygrios who has been fined by the ATP following a 'lewd' remark to French Open champion Stan Wawrinka about his girlfriend during their Rogers Cup match in Montreal.

That was one of the most disgraceful things I've ever seen in professional sport! For Kygrios to say to he said to him off the court would have been obnoxious but the fact he tried to throw his game with such a personal dig just shows you what a massive prick the guy is. Fair play to Wawrinka for shaking his hand after the match, especially after losing, as I'm sure he wanted to punch him. Kygrios has since publicly (and seemingly privately) apologised at least. I hope it's been a huge wake-up call for him as his attitude is generally awful.

Andy Murray has beaten Novak Djokovic for the first time in 2 years to win the Rogers Cup in 3 sets.

And Murray has been replaced for the World No.2 spot by Roger Federer after Federer won the Cincinnati Masters in straight sets over Djokovic.

 

 

Andy Murray will play Nick Kyrgios in the first round of the US Open.

 

 

Anyone at all watching the US Open at the moment which is live on Sky Sports/Eurosport.

 

Britain's Heather Watson went out of the first round for a fourth year running yesterday. From that career high when she challenged Serena to a first-round exit.

 

 

It was 7-6 7-6 and Lauren Davis has the home crowd advantage, to be fair...

So following the round 1 exits of Watson and Robson, Jo Konta continued her winning run to take her into the second round of the US open. She is currently in the final set against losing Wimbledon finalist and 9th seed Muguruza up 4-1 in the final set the first two going 7-6 6-7

Jo Konta into the third round winning 7-6 6-7 6-2 in what was the longest ever female tennis match at the US Open. Continuing her winning run and into the third round for the first time at a grand slam.

Longest ever? It doesn't look like it would be from the score, can't have been more than 3 hours?

That beggars belief if so.

The match lasted 3hours and 23minuets.

Fantastic performance from Konta against the Wimbledon finalist for sure.

 

It probably depends how long the service games were.

 

 

The record for the longest game dates all the way back to Monday :rofl: , where Madison Brengle and Saisai Zheng's game lasted 3 hours and 20 minuets.

If you take about 75 minutes each for the first two sets (with them both going to tiebreakers) then about 45 minutes for the final set (if the players are playing particularly slow) would be about right I guess.

 

One game in the third set lasted 10 minutes alone.

Andy Murray has lost the first set to Adrian Mannarino.

 

 

Hopefully Konta can keep up her good form in the third round.

 

 

Huge scare for Andy Murray as he came back from two sets down to beat Adrian Mannarino in 5 sets. He's through to the third round.

 

Federer, Nadal, Djokovic also through to the third round, no problems for them.

 

 

That's just typical Murray really! No doubt he'll at least make the Semis but right now the likes of Djokovic are just completely on top of their game and far too strong for Murray to overcome.

That's not true at all. Novak looked really shaky in Cincinnati, Murray can pull off a win in a good day. Still Federer taking this though.
