Bugger.

Great a DF from the Dog...his fhand is off in this match

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Too many ufe from the Dog today especially off his fhand wing.

 

[Andrew William]

Congratulations to Berdy!

Dolgo reverted back to his old self in this one. He was very inconsistent with a flashy shot on occasion. That's not going to get it done against a quality opponent like Tomas.

Finally some good concentration from Tomas in the end and he makes it to the SF. I still think his best is yet to come from Tomas, he has the game to make it happen.

Could be - and if he faces Rafa, he'll remember taking that set off him at the WTF...

Just like Fognini really, flash combined with slop and the slop increases with both of them against higher ranked opponents, plus the wind didn't help.

Let's not be very harsh on him, he's come along way. He started the year outside of the top 50. He is doing very well, considering. Very nice rebound and the year is still young.

Happy for Birdie, bring on Manacor's bull, hope Birdie can win that
