Tennis Abstract rate Cam to reach last 8, Dan and Andy R3, and Jack to reach R2.

Alcaraz is rated title favourite to beat Medvedev in the final.

cam is a 4.7% title chance, Andy, Jack and Dan all 0.1%. Kyle rated 0% chance to win title.
Has anyone else estimated 12/13 men's singles wins? Certainly not me, that no for doubles maybe. Glad if they prove me wrong though.
I think TA estimate 9 mens singles wins overall though for Brits. 4 for Cam, 2 each for Andy and Dan, 1 for Jack.

and 2 for Emma - so 11 singles overall

I misunderstood, when they said reach, I thought they meant win, but of course they mean lose, still very optimistic.

Kyle is second match on COurt 12

Jack is also playing, last on court 9

And Andy first up on Louis Armstrong

Other matches I'm interested in:

Ali Bedene's match - go, Ali

the Aussie KvK match - could be fun

Ben Shelton's match - after the press about him

Any match with a wildcard - do like a wildcard win

Question directed mainly at Coup Droit but if anyone else can help, please do -

I am currently in France and hoping to watch the US Open. I have a VPN (NordVPN) but this is still only permitting me to watch Prime Video programmes available abroad ie no live tennis. I can re- subscribe to Eurosport Player I guess but do you have any suggestions re Prime Video?

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

OK, our situation is this: we have Prime in France. But that doesn't have the tennis.

And we have Discovery in the UK and as that now owns Eurosport we thought that would be fine here ......

BUT can't get the US Open here from Discovery/Eurosport

And don't have a VPN

So we have done the normal and spent 10 euros for a monthly Eurosport France subscription which shows everything, is legal, is easy and seems to me be money well spent ...

Thanks CD, thats helpful and Ill look into that. Only here for a few more days this time but for future reference that could be the way to go from now. Im pretty sure I watched it on Eurosport last year but not the French version.

Does French TV not carry it domestically?

Andy broken first game..

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

Andy has come back well and got two breaks tk be up 5-2. Good stuff

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

5-5 now Andy made a mess of a couple of shots at 5-2. Incredible moment of sportsmanship from Cerundulo who conceded a point on a double bounce after the big screen showed it and the umpire gave him the point.

Big game for Andy here, needs to hold you feel or this could run away.

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Love hold for 6-5* Andy. Needed that.

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Andy gets away with that set there with a weak DF on Set Point from Cerundolo.

7-5, 0-0

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Andy racing away here double break 7-5 *4-0.

He should be home and dry here if he just keeps what he is doing. The love hold at 5-5 was the key for sure.

Wild card Wolf is 2 sets up on 16th seed RBA. Looking like an early upset and early WC win

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Haha spoke too soon,

7-5 5-2*

Cerundolo unloading there nothing to lose manages to save the bagel and also break back.
