He’s back! The enfant terrible / between-the-legs-trick-shot legend of Australian tennis, Nick Kyrgios, is just minutes away from US Open action.

After an injury-ravaged run lately, the 23-year-old has made the perhaps wise decision to focus just on the men’s singles event at this tournament. That said, presuming there are no major upsets his reward for his prudence is a potential third-round showdown with Roger Federer.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves however, as today is all about the Moldovan Radu Albot. Who, you ask? Well, let’s just say a guy that’s earned $1,340,361 more as a professional tennis player than your humble scribe today has.

Roger Federer is also not far away from court-time, so we’ll try and scan round the grounds to keep you across live action as best as we can - at the hardcourt Grand Slam that never sleeps!
