I fell asleep Hurc but don't forget we are on different times.

affirmative general sid.

Tomic out to Mayer in 3 sets. Too much slicing and dicing from him and errors that could have been prevented.

A disappointing result. I had higher hopes than this from him.

 

[Emma]

At least he looks more serious this year so there's hope.

Gulbis in the meantime has taken the 1st set off Lopez in a TB.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Do not adjust your Tv sets people...That's really how Gulbis hits his forehand.

 

[Emma]

Lol but he's just won his match against Lopez in straight sets. Nearly empty stadium however.

 

[sid]

Tomic is disappointing & so is Rosol,he had a break up in 3rd set & still lost.Seppi never won a match here till today.

 

[ClayDeath]

tomic is still young. he may be a later bloomer.

 

[Emma]

What a great match between Klizan and Bellucci. 6 all, 3rd set TB. Dead even.

 

[Emma]

And Klizan wins. Bellucci was pretty reckless in the TB though he climbed back every time he was down a point but only to lose it in the next shot.

What a great match between Klizan and Bellucci. 6 all, 3rd set TB. Dead even.

Will look forward to watching this one on ESPN 3 later. Thanks for posting about it!

Quite a few good matches. Nole's palying tomorrow too and Nadal's opening up is doubles match.

Isner is also playing. He only had a day off in between and in that time frame, he had to pack his bags and fly off to Montreal and settle down. Not a very ideal situation. Can't see him going far here.

Both are wearing shades and so am I, because it hurts my retina to watch istomin in that shirt...

Looking at the draw, Djokovic has the "easiest" path to the Finals. Meanwhile, Murray has the "toughest" draw because he landed Delpo on his quarter. But, don't count on Murray out yet. Yes, Delpo beat him the last they played but Murray has the type of game that could frustrate Delpo to no end (except on Clay of course). I do think the winner between a potential Murray-Delpo match will be the finalist from the bottom half.

As for Nadal, he has some tricky opponents on his half. The most famous is Jerzy Janowicz. They could potentially meet at the Round of 16. Tommy Haas, Philipp Kohlschreiber, Benoit Paire are also in Nadal's quarter.

But my finals prediction will be either Nole or Rafa vs. Murray or Del Potro.

I don't like to pick a winner yet!

Thanks for this post. Just 2 things to add:
- wondering if Berdych will meet Murray in the semis.
- and looking forward to the possibility of Rafa and JJ playing. That would be fun.

isner has to be worn out. i cant see him lasting too long here in montreal.

Tipsy is in free fall, losing the first set.
