^ Not too worried about Tsonga. But this could give him a boost for sure and I wouldn't mind seeing it. He has an entertaining game when he can bring it. But there are too many people that can and will take him out at a GS at this point.

Yeah, definitely entertaining but for a long time he's been way too passive and not scoring big wins so at least this might wake him up. True about people taking him out though regardless of this win. Now if he beats Murray he's definitely on the up but I doubt he will.

I think Jo Willie has let himself go a bit too. He is up there in age and has had some injuries so it is tough for him to keep fit but I think the poor movement is why he has really become irrelevant the past year +.

Good play by Tsonga but pretty shocking by Novak.

First win against Novak since the AO '10. That's a long time ago.

I'm almost relieved for Novak's sake. Let him have a light couple days and then prepare to take it all in Cincinnati, when he goes for the Masters sweep.

We will see if he stinks up the place in Cincy. Hopefully I at least get to see him practice!

Well somebody either young or old should really take advantage of an ever gaping field.

This kinda tourney is set up for a non-3 player to make an impact, but look at Grigor, struggling against old Tommy... :nono

Dimitrov was up a break too that set. That's just weak!

2 of them haven't exited, one has.

Only one is left.

That would be a puzzle, on some sites...

^ Hopefully I can catch some of tomorrow's match. He looked heavy and slow at RG when I saw him.

Raonic is moving smoothishly to a meet with Roger, which will be interesting, given how "Mad Milos" has claimed that anger over his Wimbo semi show is motiv8ing him. "My h8ers are my etceteras." This tourney still has some legs, and a steel arm (sometimes rubber)...

Check tennis.com live scores. They have Stan as the winner against Anderson. Dense.

Haven't been watching but will now. Dodig destroyed Ferrer 6-1 first set.
