    These are dizzy times for British tennis.

    Three men into round three of the US Open for the first time since 1968 and if our stats are right, we think this is the first time four Brits have been into round three of a Grand Slam since Wimbledon in 1997.

    We hope you're enjoying it. Tonight, two of our Britons look to set more records.

    Hyperventilating.

    Shaking.

    Johanna Konta, you gave us all a fright in round two with your little scare deep into a second set.

    No harm done though, being the in-form star that you are you got the job done. Well done.

    Now if you don't mind, we'll have a few less nervy moments today please.
