FEATURED MEN's MATCHES – in Order of Play by Court 2015 US OPEN Flushing Meadows, New York, USA | August 31 – September 13, 2015 Draw Size: S-128, D-64 | $42.3 million | Hard www.usopen.org DAY FIVE NOTES | Friday, September 4, 2015 FEATURED MEN’S MATCHES – In Order of Play by Court Arthur Ashe Stadium: (1) Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. (25) Andreas Seppi (ITA) Djokovic Leads 10-0 (8) Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs (32) Fabio Fognini (ITA) Nadal Leads 5-2 Louis Armstrong Stadium: (9) Marin Cilic (CRO) vs. Mikhail Kukushkin (KAZ) Tied 1-1 (7) David Ferrer (ESP) vs. (27) Jeremy Chardy (FRA) Ferrer Leads 7-1 Grandstand: (19) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) vs. Sergiy Stakhovsky (UKR) Tsonga Leads 4-0 (10) Milos Raonic (CAN) vs. (18) Feliciano Lopez (ESP) Tied 3-3 Court 17: (26) Tommy Robredo (ESP) vs. Benoit Paire (FRA) Paire Leads 2-1 (14) David Goffin (BEL) vs. (23) Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) Bautista Agut Leads 1-0 DAY FIVE HIGHLIGHTS The third round of the US Open begins on Friday with three players in action who have yet to be broken during the tournament: No. 1 Novak Djokovic (24 service games), No. 10 seed Milos Raonic (36 games) and No. 19 seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (26 games). Also on the schedule are two-time champion Rafael Nadal, two-time semi- finalist David Ferrer and ‘13 quarter-finalist Tommy Robredo, who are three of six Spaniards in the third round. On Ashe, Djokovic takes a near-perfect record against Italian opponents (30-1) into his 3R match with No. 25 seed Andreas Seppi. The 2011 US Open champion is 10-0 vs. Seppi and he’s won 30 consecutive matches against Italians since losing to Filippo Volandri in his ATP World Tour debut at Umag in 2004. Nadal has also dominated Italians through the years, winning 19 of his last 21 matches against players with “ITA” next to their names. The two losses were to his opponent in tonight’s match on Ashe, No. 32 seed Fabio Fognini, who beat Nadal at Rio de Janeiro and Barcelona earlier this season. No. 8 Nadal has since avenged those losses with a win over Fognini in the Hamburg final. Fognini is 0-17 lifetime against Top 10 opponents on a hard court. On Armstrong, reigning champion Marin Cilic defends his title against World No. 56 Mikhail Kukushkin, who upset No. 17 seed Grigor Dimitrov in the second round. Cilic has won 16 straight sets at the US Open since his five-set victory over Gilles Simon in the fourth round last year. Kukushkin, on the other hand, had lost in the first or second round of 16 consecutive tournaments before beating Dimitrov in five sets on Wednesday. Later on Armstrong, Ferrer takes a 7-1 head-to-head lead into his meeting with No. 27 seed Jeremy Chardy. Out with an elbow injury throughout the summer, Ferrer fought past Filip Krajinovic on Wednesday by winning 85% of his first serve points despite hitting only one ace. At one of the tournaments that Ferrer missed, ATP Masters 1000 Montreal, Chardy saved nine match points (in two matches) en route to the semi-finals (l. to Djokovic). On Grandstand, Tsonga continues his quest to reach the only Grand Slam semi-final that has eluded him. The Frenchman faces unseeded Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky, who is bidding for his first 4R berth at a major in his 28th Grand Slam appearance. Following that match, Raonic and No. 18 seed Feliciano Lopez meet for the second time in less than three weeks. Lopez beat Raonic at ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati to even their head-to- head at 3-3. The Spaniard, who has never cracked the Top 10, owns 32 career wins against Top 10 players. On Court 17, No. 26 seed Robredo meets Benoit Paire in a rematch of the Bastad final won by the Frenchman, then No. 14 seed David Goffin of Belgium faces No. 23 seed Roberto Bautista Agut. Goffin is trying to reach his third career Grand Slam tournament 4R (’12 Roland Garros, ’15 Wimbledon) while Bautista Agut is looking to reach the 4R at Flushing Meadows for the second straight year. 2015 US OPEN Friday, September 4, 2015 Page 2 of 19 [1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs [25] Andreas Seppi (ITA) Djokovic Leads 10-0 06 Rotterdam (Netherlands) Hard R32 Novak Djokovic 6-2 2-6 7-5 07 Vienna (Austria) Hard SF Novak Djokovic 6-4 6-3 08 ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells (U.S.A.)

The conference had a tennis-specific set up as well as innovative tennis medicine content with keynote presentations, break out sessions, and on-court sessions. Thanks to Connor Sport Court, there were 2 court surfaces that were laid down inside the Life University gymnasium for very real on court demonstrations. Some of the participants (and even speakers) found some time to even play out some points and warm up with the foam balls and rackets provided! This conference was also supported by Ortho Atlanta, a local orthopae- dic group that serves as the official medical providers for the Atlanta ATP Championships as well as the Australian Open Wildcard tournament. The International Tennis Performance Association (ITPA), was an- other key contributor, and they also helped to arrange an on court stroke technique evaluation for coaches in conjunction with Georgia Professional Tennis Association (GPTA), and STMS one day prior to the main STMS-USTA conference. Dr. Ben Kibler, Dr. Mark Kovacs, and myself provided an enthusiastic audience of many local tennis professionals, coaches, and some medical providers some specific modifications of strokes for junior elite players as well as adult players.
