An important win today for Milos, to start the grass campaign this season. He stopped the bleeding against Kyrgios, this should give him a boost of confidence.

Agreed... I thought Nick would take him.

Good win for young Brit Kyle Edmund taking the scalp of Gilles Simon.

7-John Isner (U.S.) beat Juan Martin Del Potro (Argentina) 7-6(2) 6-4

That was a nice interview, thanks! Isner offers that JMDP is not yet all the way back. Also, good win for Raonic. A little bit the lesson of commitment v. talent. By which I mean Raonic impresses most on his dedication to craft and his ambition. Nick is wildly talented, (emphasis on "wildly?") but he still needs reining that talent in. (When is he going to get a coach?) Great win for Kyle Edmund, and let's not forget Steve Johnson, who beat Gasquet earlier, and is still in, after beating Mannarino today.

Perhaps the most unpredictable match tomorrow? Tomic v. Verdasco. I'll take Verdasco.

Yeah, and it should be an interesting match too. Tomic likes grass but Nando seems in good form. I am undecided.

Sadly, I missed draw challenge for these two tournaments.

I did, too. Not paying enough attention.

andy has got a cupcake draw to the final.

Well, yes, but how would it ever have been that much different? He's far and away the best grass player, or otherwise, in the draw. Gasquet got dumped out. Even Feli Lopez is out, who's good on grass. Cilic, I'm sorry, can barely roll drunks. And Stan, on the other side, lost in the first round. If Andy doesn't win this tournament, which he's won about 5 times, he's in trouble for Wimbledon. This is a gimme.

I am liking the look in Andy's eyes since Lendl has returned, especially the look of terror when he misses an easy shot!

:spank2::spank:

^^well hopefully lendl can scare andy into the final.
