   Points won by each set: [ 25-26, 37-30, 35-24, 40-30 ]
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   47 % Anderson – 49 of 103
   25 % Carreno – 37 of 144

   Life-time opportunity for them both. As many as 5 players of the Top 10 withdrew from the US Open (including three former champions: Djokovic, Murray & Wawrinka), the highest ranked player in the bottom half of the draw, inexperienced 20-year-old Sasha Zverev lost already in the second round, and suddenly the draw was wide open. Anderson [32] & Carreno [16] faced each other for the third time, and for the third time Anderson prevailed. He was very tense in the first two sets, but leading 6:5* (40/30) in the 2nd set he played his best backhand on the day and calmed down afterwards. His serve was phenomenal actually from the mid-2nd set when he was broken for the second time. In a dramatic last game of the match, they played the longest rally of the tournament, consisted of 38 strokes. Anderson lost it, also a lot of energy and didn’t get a direct point following his serve in six points, luckily survived 4:2 that game though.
