US Open results on Labor Day

US Open results on Labor Day…and first and foremost..Happy Labor Day everyone!  So…Serena Williams over Kanepi 6-3, 6-3.  E. Bouchard (the “new darling” of tennis) falls to E. Makarova, 5-7, 4-6.  Bouchard was treated for “heat illness” but all things aside, Makarova outplayed her and deserved to win the match.  It has been very hot and humid in NYC during the day matches…I get it..it is hot and humid in the ATL!  Tonight, Victoria Azarenka will continue her comeback against Krunic.  Go Vika!

On the men’s side…Djokovic advanced in three sets, 6-1, 7-5, 6-4 over Phillip Kolschreiber and he will face Andy Murray in the quarterfinals.  Murray won in three sets over J. Tsonga, 7-5, 7-5, 6-4.  Congrats to Nole who has now made 22 consecutive quarterfinals at Grand Slams.  Andy Murray looks stronger and more on his game than he has looked all year.  Should be a great match up.  Wawrinka is now on the court against 32 year old Tommy Robredo and it has started to rain…when it is that hot and humid..a bit of rain is usually on its way!  This match will hopefully get completed and tonight Nishikori will face Raonic.  Go Stan the man! Update: Wawrinka in four sets! 7-5, 4-6, 7-6, 6-2!!

Tomorrow…the one the matters..Roger Federer in action.  I really hope it is under the lights!  Will have to check the schedule tomorrow am to find out.

Meanwhile, I did watch a replay of the Georgia Tech – Wofford game from this past Saturday.  Feel a bit encouraged.  Justin Thomas (redshirt sophomore QB) looked really good in the second half.  The first half was bad..second half, encouraging.  Perhaps the Jackets are contenders in the Coastal Division of the ACC afterall.  Will have to wait and see…it is only week one of CFB!

Rizzoli and Isles on TNT at 9:00 pm EST.  All the other shows have wrapped up their summer runs.  (Tuesday night…tomorrow)  In a few weeks…the fall shows return!!  Meanwhile, there is more US Open tennis coverage tonight on ESPN2!

On a personal note..I have to vent!  The theater near me is still closed!!  On a holiday weekend no less.  I know with the renovations they are going to hopefully make it awesome but still…no movies!!  Anyhow…

Again, Happy Labor Day!

Azarenka comes back from one set down to win in three…4-6, 6-4, 6-4!!
