2016 US OPEN Flushing Meadows, New York, USA | August 29 – September 11, 2016 Draw Size: S-128, D-64 | $46.3 million | Hard www.usopen.org DAY FOUR MEDIA NOTES | Thursday, September 1, 2016 FEATURED MEN’S SINGLES 2R MATCHES Arthur Ashe Stadium [2] Andy Murray (GBR) vs Marcel Granollers (ESP) Murray Leads 6-1 [19] Steve Johnson (USA) vs [WC] Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) First Meeting Louis Armstrong Stadium [6] Kei Nishikori (JPN) vs [Q] Karen Khachanov (RUS) First Meeting [3] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) vs [Q] Alessandro Giannessi (ITA) First Meeting Grandstand [8] Dominic Thiem (AUT) vs Ricardas Berankis (LTU) First Meeting [14] Nick Kyrgios (AUS) vs Horacio Zeballos (ARG) First Meeting Americans in Action (3) [Q] Jared Donaldson (USA) vs Viktor Troicki (SRB) 3rd Match After 11:00 am on Court 13 Donald Young (USA) vs [21] Ivo Karlovic (CRO) 3rd Match After 11:00 am on Court 17 [19] Steve Johnson (USA) vs [WC] Juan Martin del Potro 2nd Match After 7:00 pm on Ashe DAY FOUR HIGHLIGHTS An American man will play inside Arthur Ashe Stadium for the first time this week when No. 19 seed Steve Johnson takes on 2009 US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro under the lights Thursday. Also on Ashe, 2012 US Open champion Andy Murray meets Marcel Granollers not before 1 pm. No. 3 seed Stan Wawrinka and No. 6 seed Kei Nishikori face qualifiers on Louis Armstrong Stadium, while the Grandstand features 22-year-old Dominic Thiem and 21-year-old Nick Kyrgios. With his come-from-behind win over John Millman on Tuesday, the eighth- seeded Thiem improved to 20-1 this season in deciding sets. He entered 2016 with a 19-21 deciding-set record. Johnson trailed Evgeny Donskoy 6-4, 6-1, 5-2 and served at Love-40 before surviving six match points and securing his second career comeback from two sets down. His reward is a date with del Potro, who returns to the court where – as a 20-year-old – he ended Roger Federer’s 40-match tournament win streak and captured his first Grand Slam title. Four wrist surgeries later, del Potro brought back memories of his 2009 US Open run when he defeated Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal en route to the silver medal at the Rio Olympics last month. Earlier on Arthur Ashe Stadium, Murray faces Granollers for the eighth time on tour. The No. 2 seed is 6-1 against the Spaniard, having never lost a set to him in three hard-court meetings. Murray has reached the third round or better in 33 consecutive Grand Slam appearances, highlighted by three straight finals this season. If Murray advances to his third US Open final, he will be the fourth man in the Open Era to play four Grand Slam championship matches in a calendar year (Djokovic in 2015; Federer in 2004, 2006 and 2007; and Rod Laver in 1969). Qualifiers Karen Khachanov and Alessandro Giannessi will challenge Nishikori and Wawrinka respectively on Louis Armstrong Stadium. Both qualifiers were victorious in their Grand Slam main draw debuts on Tuesday, with Giannessi defeating Denis Kudla by the unique score of 0-6, 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-0. The 26-year-old Italian tried and failed to qualify eight times at majors prior to the 2016 US Open, while Khachanov had fallen five times in Grand Slam qualifying attempts. Khachanov, a 20-year-old from Moscow, is part of the ATP World Tour’s ‘Next Generation’ of Top 200 players born in 1995 or later. He broke into the Top 100 of the Emirates ATP Rankings on June 6. Americans and Eastern Europeans will go head-to-head when 19-year-old qualifier Jared Donaldson meets Viktor Troicki on Court 13 and Donald Young confronts No. 21 seed Ivo Karlovic on Court 17. In the first round… o Donaldson earned the biggest win of his career by beating World No. 14 David Goffin 4-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-0. o Troicki was one of seven players to rally from two sets down, edging Radu Albot in a final-set tiebreaker. o Young, 27, began his 12th consecutive US Open campaign by defeating Jan-Lennard Struff in four sets. o Karlovic set a US Open record by hitting 61 aces in his five-set win over Yen-Hsun Lu (stats kept since 1991). 2016 US OPEN – Day 4 Media Notes Thursday, September 1, 2016 Page 2 of 21 [2] Andy Murray (GBR) vs Marcel Granollers (ESP) Murray Leads 6-1 06 Barcelona (Spain) Clay R64 Andy Murray 4-6 6-4 6-2 09 Australian Open (Australia) Hard R64 Andy Murray 6-4 6-2 6-2 13 ATP Masters 1000 Rome (Italy) Clay R32 Marcel Granollers 6-3 6-7(5) ret 13 ATP Masters 1000 Montréal (Canada) Hard R32 Andy Murray 6-4 7-6(2) 14 ATP Masters 1000 Rome (Italy) Clay R32 Andy Murray 6-2 7-5 15 ATP Masters 1000 Madrid (Spain) Clay R16 Andy Murray 6-2 6-0 16 ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells (U.S.A.)

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JULY 16, 2015 FORMER WORLD NO. 8 JANKO TIPSAREVIC ADDED TO ODLUM BROWN VANOPEN MEN’S DRAW Vancouver, BC - Organizers of the Odlum Brown VanOpen are pleased to announce former World No. 8 Janko Tipsarevic has been granted a wildcard entry into the main draw of the men’s competition August 15 - 23 at Hollyburn Country Club in West Vancouver. The 31-year-old from Serbia spent 2014 recovering from a foot injury and is looking to get back to the form which made him a US Open quarterfinalist in 2011 and 2012. He also made it to the fourth round of singles at Wimbledon in 2007 and 2008, the French Open in 2012, and the Australian Open in 2013. “We are really excited to add a player of Janko’s stature to the men’s draw at this year’s tournament,” said Odlum Brown VanOpen Chairman Floyd Hill. “Anytime you can attract a player who’s been among the top 10 in the world and defeated the calibre of players that Janko has, it strengthens the event significantly and gives fans the opportunity to see another world-class player here in Vancouver.” The players that Tipsarevic holds victories over reads like a who’s-who in men’s tennis. He has two career wins against World No. 1 and fellow Serb Novak Djokovic. Tipsarevic has also beaten former World No. 1 players Carlos Moya, Marat Safin, Lleyton Hewitt, Juan Carlos Ferrero and Andy Roddick. In addition, he has thirteen career victories against other top 10 players, including four wins against Tomas Berdych, and one each against Fernando Gonzalez, Mikhail Youzhny, David Ferrer, James Blake, Gael Monfils, Andy Murray, and Juan Monaco.

Desde sus primeros pasos en el profesionalismo, la figura del zurdo de Vitacura se ha convertido en uno de los ejes fundamentales de la prensa deportiva nacional, reactivando un segmento deportivo que estaba sumido en una de las crisis más grandes de los últimos años. Marcelo Ríos se ha transformado en una de las figuras noticiosas más importantes de nuestro país. Portada de diarios y revistas, ya sea deportivos o no; figura recurrente en los estelares de televisión; foco noticioso recurrente de noticieros; personaje de interés por su juego y personalidad ha contribuido enormemente a la difusión del deporte blanco en nuestro país que, por fin, cuenta con un ídolo que le permita recuperar el rumbo perdido.

    1 Aon Tennis Challenger: Troicki batte Brown, Trevisan vince un match maratona con Naso di Christian Galfrè 04 Settembre 2014 – 10:23 Genova. Giornata intensa ed appassionante, non priva di sorprese, all’Aon Open Challenger “Memorial Giorgio Messina”, in corso di svolgimento presso i campi di Valletta Cambiaso. Esce la testa di serie numero 4 dell’evento, lo spagnolo Montanes, vincitore del torneo di Genova nel 2012. Prestazione esemplare di Fucsovics: l’ungherese ha portato a casa vittoria e applausi del pubblico dopo un’ora abbondante di gioco. Successo della testa di serie numero uno Ramos-Vinolas che supera in tre set un ostico Virgili al termine di un match a tratti molto spettacolare. Lo spagnolo si candida alla vittoria finale e si complimenta con Virgili: “Ha disputato un’ottima partita. Non era facile portare a casa questo successo. Il mio obiettivo? Anche questa volta il torneo è di grande livello e spero davvero di andare avanti il più possibile”. Bene Cecchinato che regola senza problemi Basilashvili. “Sono soddisfatto – spiega il tennista di Palermo -, è stato un ottimo debutto in un torneo, come sempre, molto bello e di grande livello”. Esce Potito Starace, regolato in due set dall’emergente svedese Lindell. Tutto semplice per Genova24.it - 1 / 3 - 02.10.2021 2 Paire, che ha annichilito Sousa mostrando di essere di ben altro livello rispetto al portoghese; pronostico rispettato anche da Dzumhur che ha piegato in 2 set il qualificato Kovalik. Trevisan e Naso hanno battagliato per oltre tre ore, disputando un avvincente partita. L’ha spuntata il toscano, che ha così onorato la wild card.
