Blake still bitter about Gonzalez incident

Blake accused Gonzalez of not admitting that a return from the American had touched his racquet before landing out on a crucial point in a three-hour drama. “I’m now (focussing on) the U.S. Open…Hopefully the umpires are watching a little more closely here.” — AP
