[GameSetAndMath]

Andy and Gael should progress easily. That makes the other two matches interesting.

Although they will valiantly try, neither Milos nor Isner, the two big servers, will come out
a victor in the end. Stan and Ferru will win preventing any upsets today.

 

[Carol]

Two interesting matches and I'd bet for Muzz and Raonic (by mistake I said before Wawrinka ) win

 

[herios]

Very much looking forward to Milos playing Stan.
Milos is in a good form, showing a lot more variety in his game: FH, BH slices, moving forward to the net with efficiency looking to end the point with a volley, therefore I am optimistic he will put up a good fight.

 

[herios]

I hope Andrey Kuznetsov will not succumb to nerves, because you never know will Gael.

 

[herios]

Le Monf - Kuzy 1 set all

 

[Carol]

Allez Monfils but please, if you win this match try don't lose the next one :nono

 

[Carol]

Wawrinka with that colors shines like a 'red' diamond :snicker

 

[nehmeth]

Raonic with the break... serving for the set.

 

[Carol]

Well played Monfils, next round against who? I hope Raonic

 

[herios]

First set to Milos 6-4!!! Good job so far.

 

[herios]

Poor game by Milos to get broken, now Stan follos suit and he gets broken too

 

[nehmeth]

Milos breaks again for 3-2.

 

[Carol]

The way Wawrinka is playing the last months and watching now Raonic I think this last one could be more dangerous than the Swiss

[GameSetAndMath]

Stan goes from a break up to break down in set 2.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

In the meantime, Bryan Brothers are following Rafa to Oblivion. Could not even make the quarterfinals
after making 2015 their first year without GS title.

 

[herios]

Milos extends the lead to 2-0, breaking Stan 2 more times in the second set.
Keep focusing Milos because this is doable

 

[Riotbeard]

Raonic is playing well. Less boring than in the past.
