Anderson wins it in a fourth-set tie-breaker to move on to the semifinals!

Dancer was sitting in Anderson's box and got lots of face time. That can only help recruiting. :thumb:

Also, lots of I-L-L I-N-I chants could be heard during the match. :)

That was a really fun match and interesting to see to really tall guys blast away at each other.

Also, great that they mentioned the Fighting Illini a few times and talked about how much Anderson benefited from playing some collegiate Tennis (and meeting his wife who was an Illini golfer).

He actually has a great chance to go through to the final which would be really spectacular.

Good pub for Illinois last night in KA's win. Great match to watch. I stayed up too late and am now paying for it, LOL!!!

Here's hoping he can make it to the finals.

KA knocking on the door of a 2 set to 1 lead in the semi right now. Let's hope for the best.
Did not realize he was 6'8".

It is now 2 to 1.
They just showed a couple of Illini t-shirt wearers in the crowd as they broke for commercial. Love to see that kind of video production/direction.

And there you have it Ilini Nation!! We have one of our own O&B in the US Open Tennis final!!! Nice interview afterwards where he mentioned that he met his wife in college. He didn't say which college, but I think we know which one. Man, he looked like a man possessed in this match. Good luck to him on Sunday.

New to this forum...so I'm just catching up. I was at the Sam Querrey v. Kevin Anderson match and was one of the people chanting I-L-L I-N-I. So many people left after the Venus Williams match, and we were able to move courtside as a result. Glad you guys stayed up for the match and could hear it on the broadcast!
