Ferru is like Davydenko in that regard, so Goffin is in for a wonderful career if he can continue to be that kind of very good and steady player.

Agreed. By the way, Fed is going to have to tough this out. Now 5-4... but Roger serving for the match.

Good, Roger needs to tough one out in light of being out for so long. If he wins, it will be well earned and give him a boost for the next match hopefully.

Fed takes the 2nd set (6-4) and goes through.

Will you post the second set statistics as well? Who will face Roger tomorrow? Thank you!

 

[britbox]

Got the full stats...

In the third round, Federer will face either Chardy or Bautista Agut. The latter might be a tough match.

In the third round, Federer will face either Chardy or Bautista Agut. The latter might be a tough match.

Bautista is not a typical spannish/clay court player as he doesn't play extra top spinned, high bouncing balls. That's why I think it may suit Federer. Federer leads 4-0 against Bautista, never lost a set against him, 3 times on hard court, once on grass. And he will play on Thursday so full time to get back 100%. No worries

^ Can't think of a more scenic venue than Monte Carlo.

I have been here a few times and that's a great place to play. There are few very nice tennis clubs in the area, I grew up there and I miss these tennis venues. We should plan a tennis road trip between Nice and Roma @britbox with the money you make on betting

Hope Karlovic didn't have to sit on the same chairs Watch your head Tomas !!

Stan and Kohl in a good battle... Looks like Stan is slowly turning the screw although Kohl saved three break points in his last service game. Looks like he's under the kosh again.
