Excellent win by JMDP over Khachanov. Both played great in the heat, with no complaints.

Efficient yet unspectacular 6x4 first set for Federer

He looks pretty crappy but I just started watching at the end of the first. Struff had a brilliant point to save BP last game.

Federer strangely losing the baseline battles -- and losing good.

Too much vanilla from Fed. He's got to hit the ball, even against the weaker players the first couple rounds.

Fed has picked up on the fact that this guy can't handle his slice at all.

Nice game to break there from Roger

He's serving well and started hitting better near the end of the second but unspectacular indeed

Well deserved break and if Federer keeps playing like this I'll root for Struff

not bad for Roger to go through something like that. Builds confidence in a perverse sort of way

Last game was the first bad service game he's had. Nice break back, let's just hope he was in a lull. I don't know about you guys but I get worried anytime I see him start to move crappy. Always makes me think he tweaked the back again.

Anyone else notice that Roger is consistently hitting his 2nd serve harder than ever before. That must have been something he's tried to add in the offseason.

he's playing like a dog right now though. No question about it. Typical Roger lull
