And Delpo's last point is an ace. Well done big guy. It's nice to see him back on court.

You'll see him next week too, Acapulco gave him a WC

Sorry Sam, but I think the Tennis World will be behind JMDP for this. Great to see him playing so well and long may it continue.

I was a little surprised to see the H2H but Grigor has matured since those days, so it may be irrelevant. I'll go with Grigor in 3.

del potro zooms thru to the semi's with another groovy win in straights. <celebration Burundi style drums..

hit a few more 2hbh but mainly 1hbh slice, don't think the breezy conditions are helping folk though, delpotro now has 100 rank points, just found out earlier jmdp has a wildcard for the hc atp500 in mexico next week.

SO NICE TO SEE JUAN MARTIN BACK!! let\s hope and wish for him that his severe injuries are behind him and he s back to his best where he left off!

whatever happens -- delpo should be proud that he kept trying to come back and AIMS to reach back to his best!

Totally agreed, Teddy! I wonder if ever a top player/Major winner has been so snake-bit. It has taken a lot of heart for JMDP to come back. I think everyone is pulling for him.

Absolutely teddy. Delpo deserves to be back with the big boys and enjoying his time on the tennis court.

It is great to see you again!

A surprising result, that one. Dimitrov doesn't seem to be going in the right direction.

Querrey takes the first set in Memphis 7-5 v JMDP.
