Robredo should kick himself on the nards for the first match point he just lamely dumped into the net.

Yup. Pretty terrible. Reminds me of Andujar against Nadal at Rio. 2 straight lame FH errors to lose it in the 3rd set TB and zero pressure on either of them. Routine Federer 2014 style misses.

Novak goes back to honeymoon. Robredo takes the second set and this time with a break.

Robredo usually plays pretty defensive game. But, of late (both in Toronto and in Cincy),
he is playing pretty aggressive. Don't know the reason for his mind set. But, he is playing
with zest out there these days.

I am sure you know the reason GSM. He knows he is not going to last long as a 32 year old retriever, hence the change in tactics. ;)

Congrats to Robredo and so much for my prediction that this year was going to be Nole's first win here.

Lol... beaten by Robredo. Congrats Tommy.

Long exhale of exasperation. Maybe Boom boom is telling him to focus on slams...
