Had Andy lost to Stan, fine \u2014 but that no longer matters.<\/p>\n<p>Before that, as is the way at a Grand Slam, a whole lifetime has passed. I&#8217;ll dwell on a couple of moments.<\/p>\n<p>The first is last season&#8217;s star, Canada&#8217;s Eugenie Bouchard. She is going through a bad spell this year, but here she managed a serious turnaround, beating Dominika Cibulkov\u00e1 in three sets in the third round (7:6(9) 4:6 6:3). True, much has gone wrong for the Slovak this year, but she always stands out for her great fighting spirit and has made life bitter for many top players \u2014 this time, too, she knocked out Ana Ivanovic in the very first round. The score says a lot: Eugenie fought, and for the first time this year she reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4792\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/f_20150904_NED25193-USTA-Ned-Dishman.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4792\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-4792\" src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/f_20150904_NED25193-USTA-Ned-Dishman-1024x682.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/f_20150904_NED25193-USTA-Ned-Dishman-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"September 4, 2015 - Eugenie Bouchard in action against Dominika Cibulkova (not pictured) in a women's singles third-round match during the 2015 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, NY.

As it turned out, on Friday, after winning a mixed doubles match, she slipped and fell on entering the locker room. She hit her head in the fall and suffered a concussion, with symptoms such as headaches, sensitivity to noise and light, and impaired coordination; naturally, she could not continue. So her comeback attempt ended right at the start \u2014 all the more frustrating since inviting the legendary Jimmy Connors himself as a new consulting coach had made us optimistic. Hopefully this accident will only temporarily halt Eugenie&#8217;s return to form.<\/p>\n<p>We can&#8217;t consider the comeback topic closed without mentioning two-time Grand Slam winner and former world number one, Belarus&#8217;s Victoria Azarenka.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4797\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/f_20150909_AO1_0687-USTA-Andrew-Ong.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4797\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-4797\" src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/f_20150909_AO1_0687-USTA-Andrew-Ong-1024x682.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/f_20150909_AO1_0687-USTA-Andrew-Ong-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"September 9, 2015 -  Victoria Azarenka in action against   Simona Halep in a women's singles quarterfinal match during the 2015 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, NY.

Luck wasn&#8217;t on her side either: suffice it to recall that at the French and British Grand Slams she landed in Serena&#8217;s half of the draw and lost to Serena at both tournaments \u2014 though she gave up those two matches, and a third at the Madrid Masters, only in three sets \u2014 and here too she reached the quarterfinals. True, Vika lost here as well, in a tense battle with the tournament&#8217;s second seed, Romania&#8217;s Simona Halep, but her level of play has improved sharply, and in the rest of the season we should expect from her the title she hasn&#8217;t won yet this year.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, another two-time Grand Slam champion \u2014 Wimbledon champion, this time \u2014 the Czech Petra Kvitov\u00e1.
