"Yes yes y'all and welcome to the US Open 2025 day five! We begin today with a variety of intriguing matchups. Lorenzo Musetti meets David Goffin, Stefanos Tsitsipas takes on the dangerous Daniel Altmaier and Beatriz Haddad Maia, whose powerful aggression has long been a favourite of this blog, faces Viktorija Golubic. Oh yeah, and Iga Swiatek, tennis' form and most frighteningly focused player, addresses Suzan Lamens."
"Originally, I misread the order of play and thought Zverev v Fearnley was today, not tonight. It could be a helluva match, that one will Zverev ever recover from his major-final collapses and pummellings? He looked broken at the end of this year's Aussie Open and, though that was, of course, in the moment, my sense is he no longer believes he can win one."
Andy Murray lost the 2012 Wimbledon final and briefly processed the realisation he might never win a slam, then won Olympic gold and the US Open months later. The schedule includes Boyer v Rublev, with the No.15 seed leading 3-2 with a break. Lorenzo Musetti faces David Goffin; Stefanos Tsitsipas meets Daniel Altmaier; Beatriz Haddad Maia plays Viktorija Golubic; Iga Swiatek plays Suzan Lamens. Andrey Rublev, Jannik Sinner, Alexei Popyrin, Hailey Baptiste v Naomi Osaka, Sorana Cirstea v Karolina Muchova, Amanda Anisimova v Maya Joint, plus appearances from Daria Kasatkina, Alex de Minaur, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Maria Sakkari round out day five.
