Can you guys give more details to the poor souls away from TV's or streams? If you don't I'll say very bad words to you all. I am very good at it.

Nah, nothing major...What happened was Granola came to the net and sort of wrong footed Roger with his volley to Roger's backhand, and he just did not have enough time or wrist strength at that position to do much, so he hit a double handed lob, which was really good, deep and angled. Granola got to it barely and sent a weak reply, which Roger punished with a single handed backhand. Entertaining point.

Thanks, Murat!

Nando is an idiot...why would you hit those drop shots at this point in the match? What happens is you go home.

Johnson advances to the third round! Verdasco loses 10-8 in the fifth! Federer and Wawrinka win fairly easily! Simon is the first to get to the 3rd round. Nishikori looks like he's about to go up two sets to love.

He is an idiot all right. Losing to Becker on clay is a downer altogether.

I can't :nono believe Rafa lost to Verdasco earlier this year although it was on a hc. Did anyone see how he waited til he serving to stay in the match to try a drop shot when he was pulled out of court position.

Simon played well; it was fun match to watch against Klizan.

I liked the way Lajovic stood up to Wawrinka and even took a set off of him.

Bellucci was hanging tough the first two sets, but I think Nishi runs away with the third.

I'll have to admit I was a little worried about the Nishikori-Bellucci match. Bellucci has been playing well lately and I thought he just might surprise Nishikori but relieved to see that Kei seems to have things under control. Two sets up and leading 3-1 in the third.

Even though it's been 10 years, I guess it was being premature of me to say nothing could be uglier than Rafa's old "capris -n- muscle tee" ensemble! :cover :nono :angel:

Surprising win in straight sets by Gabashvili over Monaco.

Now he has an easy R3 against Becker, who played two 5 setters.
