I like F3's chances to at least make the QF. Hopefully, he can make the final, and eventually win it! Go "The Moment"!

Christian Garin won in three sets over Jurgen Melzer's younger brother. GG Lopez lost to local wild-card Guido Pella. Granollers is through. In the old-guard v. new-guard match, Robredo is up a set on Carreno Busta. Side question: Pablo Cuevas is listed with a "PR" next to his name. I have never seen this. I get "Q", "LL", and "W." Some kind of replacement? Does anyone know?

Robredo-Carreno-Busta right now live here, if you are interested:

PR = Protected Ranking

Thanks, Herios.

Monaco upset today by Ramos, yesterday delBonis went down to Andujar, the Argentinians are not doing well on home turf

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

Christian Garin lost a 3 setter and another 0-6 lost set..in first round (after qualifying)..

I think he gets 12 rank points after coming through the qualifiers which might push him back into the 300s.

Ferrer had a lot of problems yesterday, hope he can play better tomorrow, his level is so-so

 

[herios]

L. Mayer might have learned one thing or two since Sunday, he is quickly up 4-1 in the opener on Fabio Fognini in the re-match of the Chilean final

 

[Moxie]

Fognini won the 2nd…I expect he'll right the ship.

Spaniards did well today: Andujar upset Granollers, Gimeno-Traver through, as is Almagro (d. Zeballos) and Robredo (d. Pella). They took down 2 Argentines.

 

[Moxie]

Ferrer is through in straights, after surviving a TB in the 2nd.

 

[kskate2]

Fog comes through in straights 6-4 6-3

 

[Moxie]

And Ferrer. Almagro v. Chardy up now. I'm rooting for Chardy. He's on a good run of late.

 

[herios]

Here the top 4 made it into the SF

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Ferrer plays his personal whipping boy Almagro. H2H is 14-0. Is there a worse
H2H among contemporary ATP players?

Does anybody out there thinks that Almagro can say "Nobody beats Almagro
fifteen times in a row" tomorrow.

 

[kskate2]

Fog drops the opener to T-Rob 6-3

 

[Moxie]

Just saw. Pretty surprising.

 

[kskate2]

Too many errors from F3. Tommy being his usual steady on clay

 

[herios]

Fognini won. His great form continues. DC bump, following last summer confidence bump, after winninhis first 2 titles.
