Raonic is having a really flat year this year.

Watching Tomc vs Del Potro. Good match so far and some nice hitting but the crowd is so blah.

Anyway, hoping for Tomic to get the break back here again.

Delpo and Tomic exchange breaks...now Delpo up a break. It must be frustrating playing against Tomic. You don't really know what to expect. He puts you to sleep, but than out of nowhere injects this huge pace to his forehand and you are like, what happened? Delpo seems prepared though...but he can hit more droppers, since Tomic is so far behind the baseline that he is in a different area code.

But I want Tomic to take it to 3rd.

I really like Tomic's game. It's so deceptive. I like Delpo's game too of course.

Baggy just killed Nishikori...I have not seen a point there but 1 and 2 is just not the normal score for that match. Dimitrow also advanced easily against Querrey.



that is a surprise. I wonder if nishikoir is carrying an injury.

Nishi has his injury problems so who knows. I am having a hard time buying that result.

Looks like Tomic is going to donate this game to DP.

Don't know about an injury, but he HAS had to play two matches today. That could have something to do with it.

Nishikori had to do double duty< Bags was fresh.

Querry is another slappy tree with a racket.

Delpo closes it out fairly easily. I would like young guys like Tomic to hate losing a bit more and take it more personal. Maybe he does, but I am not seeing it.

When you act casually, you become a casualty.

Atomic is not even close to the elite level and it is doubtful he will ever get there.

Another one of the Young Guns who seems to be shooting blanks.
