The US Open 2015 continuous to be hampered by incompleted matches. After a record setting 10 retirements out of 64 first round matches, one would expect the remaining players to be fit and healthy.
Thursday’s second round is half way and already two players retired after once again completing at least 2 sets. The temperatures are high in New York and conditions appear to be dificult for the players who are coming of the most demanding part of the season from spring to end of summer. Who will be next to retire? Raonic might be the first to come to mind but also other heavy servers like Anderson and Isner could be affected by conditions combined with a demanding schedule in the previous weeks.
