[Carol]

Sousa is playing a good match against Ramos 61- 3-1

 

[El Dude]

Not a very sexy lineup. Ferrer is out already. Poor Daveed is declining fast.

 

[isabelle]

lucky Chardy, Lopez W/O

 

[Carol]

Sousa is still advancing

I know the question was not for me but here´s my take:

go Bagman, go

 

[Carol]

I hope to see Sousa playing well like he was doing the previous matches :clap

 

[Carol]

Sousa 6-1 against Bag. It's incredible how much he is improving on HC, he was before specialist on clay. And for the second year he was trining with Rafa and his camp in Mallorca

Sousa in fact had better results on HC than on clay. His 2 titles were both earned on HC in Kuala Lumpur and Valencia.
Now he might just grab another one, or Sock will win his second title of his career.
Either way, I am happy for both of them, this was a good event for them.

He did beat Sock in Madrid so I hope he does again today

Now that would do it :clap

 

[Carol]

Vamos Sousa :clap not idea how to say in Portuguese
Oops, they also say 'vamos' and 'solta'
The commentator doesn't stop one second to talk about Sock,

 

[Carol]

It has been a good match and great points by both players but the Sousa second serve has not worked well and has killed him badly.
Congrats to Sock!

 

[herios]

Sock won in 3 sets.
Nice job to win his second title

Vamos Sousa :clap not idea how to say in Portuguese

The commentator doesn't stop one second to talk about Sock,

"Vamos" is exactly the same (even if a Brazilian would "eat" the final s), Sousa being Portuguese might pronounce exactly "vamos".

"Solta" would be "let go". Must be a Portuguese thing (never heard it in Brazil).

Haha, missed this one. If the question was serious, my answer is some combination of elite players, interesting players, and up-and-comers.
