[Iona16]

I'm going to miss my boy. Blooming work.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Come on Andy!

 

[Moxie]

I don't think Golubev is that tricky. Andy should be fine. And so should Dimitrov, but Karlovic is such a drag as a first round. Verdasco should beat Llodra, I'd think, but intangibles loom there. (Verdasco head, French crowd.) And, oddly, at 33 and 31, respectively, Hewitt and Berlocq have never played each other.

 

[TsarMatt]

It better not rain.

Looking forward to seeing Tomic get demolished against Gasquet.

 

[tented]

Dimitrov dropped the first set against Karlovic, 4-6. They're on serve in the second, with Karlovic serving at 4-5. Hopefully Grigor can break, get the set, and begin serving in the third.

 

[kskate2]

Nope. Dimi drops serve, Dr Ivo holds and Dimi is in a hole. Down 2 sets to love.

 

[Moxie]

Karlovic gets the 2nd. Grigor's gotta a lot of work now to stay in the tournament. Stand back on the serve, man!

 

[tented]

Geez, I turn my back for a few minutes, and Dimitrov is down two sets to love. Not good.

 

[Moxie]

Dimitrov is about out. I haven't watched all of this match, but according to Brad and PMac, Dr. Evil has been playing really well…not just the big serve. But it's still not necessarily going to be fun for the tournament if he takes out Dimi today. 3rd set TB.

Very disappointing if he loses .. and it looks like he will. Karlovic has never made it past the 2nd round here.

 

[Moxie]

^And he does. Another upset…and Li is about out, too.

 

[Ricardo]

Ivo has MUCH BETTER serve than Sampras, it's just too obvious.

 

[TsarMatt]

Shock loss for Dimitrov...

Hewitt, too, is finds himself down two sets to one, and Li Na lost too. This reminds me of Wimbledon 2013.

The Hewitt score isn't too surprising, especially considering who he's playing, but the others are.

 

[TsarMatt]

^ Yeah true. Hewitt hasn't played much on the dirt in the lead up to RG.

LOL Tomic already a break down against Gasquet.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Another semi finalist from my slam challenge gone. Very disappointed with Grigor. I have not seen a game , but when you are playing Ivo, the margins are minimal. A point here, a point there, you are packing your bags. Still, I thought he could handle this.

 

[isabelle]

No rain scheduled today but tomorrow is a rainy day again. Next week should be better and hotter

This is why you pick those types as dark horses and wild cards. I did pick berdy to make the semi's though so who am I to talk.

 

[isabelle]

Monaco won, Richie's playing well and Tomic is just pathetic
