Of course Nadal/Verdasco should be the most interesting. But also Giraldo/Young. Isner might find some resistance with Janowicz.
Depends upon what side of the bed FFF gets up whether he sees through his match vs. Muller. Any other interesting matches?

It seems that great match in the AO 2009 is bringing some emotions and expectations but 14-2 says a lot and I expect a 15-2 and because there is still a long way to go (two weeks) I also expect a shorter match

Raonic takes the first set against Pouille 6-1

Good job Milos in 1 h 26 min: 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 win over Pouille

 

[Carol]

Raonic seems to be on track, I think he has made the best decision adding Moya in his team, he can help him not just in the game but also mentally. Moya says that he doesn't have to be only 'a serve', he has a lot of potential to improve more his game

Watching Muzz playing, does someone know where his wife is going to have the baby, in Miami of Scotland?

Blimie, the courts are playing bloody fast. I have barely seen a rally. Looks like ping pong to me.

 

[Luxilon Borg]

Verdasco is on his 6th racket in two years. So this month it is the new Head Prestige. The guy is such a dolt sometimes.

F3 goes down in four. All tiebreaks. Will never be a fan of that whack job. :nono

Hehe... Ralf loses the first set.

 

[herios]

Hehe... Ralf loses the first set.

His FH is very poor. Those who say he is almost back, need to check in with an eye doctor

:laydownlaughing:lolz:

Verdasco gains the Ad on a superb forehand crosscourt winner. I say to myself... "Prove your Verdasco and double fault this point." And he does. :cover :nono

Well done, Verdasco. Revenge is sweet.

 

[Carol]

I can't believe what I seen, Rafa losing hundreds of opportunities to win (he deserves to lose) and Verdasco playing almost like a champion, long time he wasn't done so good shots and very good serve. And all those for nothing, he will lose th next match against anyone
And that's all, Verdasco has won. Rafa? awful

It happens. Good win for verdasco, he's been confident against Rafa the last few times. Rafa is unable to cope with big matches, that seems to be the case. Now he's looking like a 29 year old, with lots of miles on the clock and wear and tear in his brain and his game.
