J.J. certainly has a lot of work to do on his game... it's painful to watch him.

Feli has a chance to take down yet another giant in the next round.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Milos is giant?

News to me, only his serve counts as such, not all the time though!

 

[nehmeth]

There is a faint family resemblance there...

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

He is much more talented than that!

[Kirijax]

Is it just me or does Milos look like one of those actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood?

It's the 50s hairdo.

Well done to Steve Johnson who won the first set over Kei 76 (7)

Steve deserved the 1st set he was the better player,Kei had SP and double faulted?

Steve has never beaten a 10 ten player before.

Verdasco is wearing a heart rate monitor,Jim Courier says it is a first,Lleyton Hewitt a co-commentator on the match says he has never seen a player wearing a heart rate monitor.

Nishikori d Johnson 67 (7) 61 62 63

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

A really good t/breaker between Novak and Verdasco,Novak had SP a couple of times,Verdasco hit a incredible bhand winner down the line to save SP,Verdasco has been serving well in the first set.It really came down to which player could hold their serve

Novak `1st set 76 (8)

With Verdy, more like which player could hold their nerve.

Say goodbye to Isner. Muller won: 7-6(4), 7-6(6), 6-4

 

[Denis]

Some excellent serving by Novak in the second. 90% first serve and he takes the second 6-3.

 

[isabelle]

Hope Nole can play better, his 1st set wasn't a great piece of tennis

A fan having a 'moment' in Rod Laver Arena during the break

A fan asked his g/friend if she would marry him? it can up on the big screen for all to see

She said Yes...he jumped up in the air

Novak sitting in his chair watching the big screen clapped the 'moment'...

Great moment, hope they'll be happy together

He's fine for now, second was pretty good, almost no errors.

[Denis]

Looks like verdasco is as much set on a Novak victory as Novak himself.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Even though Novak hasnt put a foot wrong in this match,I have been impressed with Verdasco and his level of play in this match
