Dusty Brown takes the first set tiebreak against Kyrgios.

Love watching Brown... a throwback to the serve and volley days. Kyrgios has a problem to solve... close match though... the first set could have gone either way.

Got two matches on at once here.... this and the Stan/Delpo match... both entertaining.

Yeah, was fast forwarding through but was curious about JM del Potro's form since he skipped the French to focus on Wimbledon. He played very well. Bye Stan.

Great to see Delpo take that match... Lots of hard yards behind that win... and lots of times no doubt where he thought his career might be over. Pleased for the Argentine!

Kyrgios takes the second set in 19 minutes... I like Kyrgios for all his flaws... but kinda rooting for Dusty here... don't get chance to see him often and love his game.

He is really good. It's hard to say who will win. Nick has to keep his composure, that's a slippery slope...always.

oooh... big call by the ump... thought Kyrgios made that shot. Ump said the ball wasn't up.

They're showing the error prone Venus on my TV. Yawn. I guess I'll have to resort to going online and watching the scores. Not enough updates.

Thanks, I just did. I see Fognini is beating Feliciano. Not surprised by Berdych/Becker, didn't Mathieu was gone, but they didn't have the scores for Nick and Dustin. Maybe I missed it, it's going on now I would think.

Brown up a break in the third. They'll get around to it I guess... it's pretty good coverage without focusing on one specific match.

Darn it, Monaco getting rolled.

Yes, they finally started showing it again. That Dustin is quite the magician. His strokes are so unorthodox, as a viewer you have no idea what he's going to do with the ball. He's a hot-dogger for sure. I like watching him. He's like a magician.

Brown is a walking showreel.

You just can't tell what he's going to do. His shots don't look like anyone else's. It must be so difficult to play against him; especially on grass.

Ha! I predicted dp to take out Stan in my bracket prediction. Stan sucks on grass and dp is quite decent om it.

Kyrgios had an internal tantrum in that set after the umpire call... Threw the baby out with the bath water.

Brown now 2 sets to 1 up.

Who didn't see that coming if things weren't going his way. Do you think he'll regroup? Is he trying to control himself?

Just checked, looks like Nick regrouped. A fifth set? Oh my. It seems quite topsy-turvy.
