I am curious to see how Cuevas will fare on the big clay tournaments. He was playing really well in South America and I believe that, if he can manntain that level, he can collect some big scalps. Also, Murray's possible second round opponent, Pella, is a good clay-courter.

I smell seed blood on this tournament.

Agree with you ! Pella and Cuevas can do well. The real test for Cuevas in this part of the draw will be Berdych in my opinion. I don't think Murray will survive one of this two.

Yes, if Cuevas is for real he should dispatch Berdych on clay with authority.

Dimitrov comfortably through...

Djokovic's last loss in a Masters Series 1000 event on clay came in the semifinals of Monte Carlo in 2014 to Fed.

Thiem at the wrong end of a breadstick in the first set...

Fightback time.

How is Dominic doing now, britbox?

He won 1-6 6-3 6-4 against a German qualified, I think he still has a long way to win a tournament
