The Murray Brothers, seeded #2, were taken out by homegrown Brazilian duo of Belluci and Sa in two sets both of which went to Tie Breakers (just like JMDP's win).

Talk about home field advantage. South Americans are bringing the heat.

Also, the Columbian Guys Cabal and Farah beat up on the #1 seed of Herbert and Mahut in another example of South American win.

So, of the top 4 seeds, only one is left intact and that is the Brazilian team of Melo and Soares. :clap

I doubt Delpo can sustain this but at least he wasn't hitting so many slices today

The other big winner in this top half is Tsonga. If he plays well, he could reach the semifinal. He might have to face Delpo though in the quarters if both of them reach that stage.

Tsonga upset by Muller in second round.

JMDP now has a clear path to SF.

Kohly gave walkover to Martin. Don't know what is the issue. Now, Nishikori gets an easy path to QF

Muller could give Delpo a challenge with his serve but I still give Delpo great shot to reach the semifinals.

Muller has been serving well in the 250 level tournaments , the Rio Games is a different level

Three minor upsets today. #7 Ferrer gone to Donsky. #11 Cuevas taken out by home boy Belluci. #16 Benoit Paire ousted by Fog.

Also, in doubles the #3 seeded Brazilians (who sent home yesterday) lost to Romanians, thus completing the exit of the TOP FOUR SEEDS from the draw. :cover

Fognini up 3-0 (1 break) in the 3rd set against Andy Murray. That upset would open up the final for Monfils/Cilic/Nishikori quarter to power through.

The Fog is imploding as usual..all Andy has to do is keep the ball insides the lines.

Indeed. That last break at love has to be sending Fog further down his spiral.

Even Muller is gone. RBA is just a pusher. JMDP will reach SF.

I hope Potro gets through Bautista but he had to play three sets against Taro so we can't make assumptions.

Some big hitting between Monfils and Cilic. On serve in the third.
