Young played a tenacious game

I saw the first comeback - missed this one by Young. Man, I hope this is his year to break through. His time of being the young upstart is over.

I remember being excited about Young before, but not the details. Recognize Isner's name but I don't think I ever engaged in following him - - for me, following is pretty much "reading".

Young is fun to watch because he often just goes for it balls to the wall.

Ahhhh, Nadal -

Rafael Nadal now a fading force after US Open defeat to Fabio Fognini

Isner is the top US men's player. He generally sits in the 10-20 range, is 6'10", has a ridiculous serve and a terrible return game. He is best known for winning the longest game in professional tennis history 70-68 in the fifth set of Wimbledon. (That's what happens when you serve is awesome and your return is terrible.) Young was the next great hope when he won the Wimbledon boys title, but he's on the small side for a professional player and he had some attitude issues that have bedeviled him over the years. Last I heard, he has buckled down, worked on his fitness and I guess now it is paying off.

Venus wins in a blowout, Serena takes the first set...

Thanks for filling me in on them.

And Serena closes the deal without a lot of fanfare. Next a Williams-Williams matchup.

Oh, my...

Mladenovic pulls off this tweener and the upset to get rid of one big Serena threat.

Rough day on the men's side so far. We lost Murray as well as Donald Young in the 4th round.

Oops, I haven't followed since the Donald Young and Stan Wawrinka match..

and, eek, Fed is playing now. Bye...

Roger's looking in fine form. This guy Isner is NBA tall.

I'm coming out of the woodwork, tennis-wise, to watch Williams vs Williams.
I've not been a close tennis follower for years but my thinking is that Williams will win.

You're wrong, Williams will lose.

Young made a good match out of it though, especially playing against a two time recent slam winner. A great match for Anderson beating Murray. The local newspaper kind of irritated me today on that match. The picture was of a dejected Murray instead of an elated Anderson. The guy played the best match of his life and the story line is "Murray lost".

Guys, you can both be right here.

Omigosh, I've been looking forward to this match. But I still don't know who to root for. I'm very proud of both and admire both. I guess I'll just hope for good performances from both, and that neither get hurt.

Should Venus win, I will be happy for her, but it would be soooo awkward ... forever.

Serena breaks for 3-2.

I love the split screen feature of Windows 10. Court cast on one side, A2K on the other.

Vinci won today in the other quarter. I love watching Vinci play, but she has zero weapons against either Serena or Venus. The winner here is going to the finals.
