andy n rafa/wafa win. yippee.

gasgit lost the 2nd set by winning ZERO games..its a bit sad really.

Nadal still able to push Richaaard around, I see. Just too big and strong for the Frenchman.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Both Murray and Nadal have fairly easy opponents in the second round and it looks like
both will reach QF (not to mention Novak).

Cuevas isn't an easy opponent (although if we're talking in the context of the strength of this specific tournament's field for a mere ATP 500 then I'm with you) but hopefully Andy will win, he should really. He has the day off tomorrow so if he can get a routine win on Thursday he might actually be reasonably well rested for the rest of the week and next.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Just watched Pavlik's highlights, good to see that Murray didn't look too physically spent after three sets today, he was looking a wreck at times last week in Shenzhen.

Gulbis retired from his singles match against Klizan, but I don't know why.

Gulbis/Matkowski have now pulled out, giving Djokovic/Krajinovic a walkover.
