gael monfee loses 1st set 4-6.

 

[Federberg]

^I'm a huge fan of Le Monf, but I must admit I don't want him to beat ole Rog

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

gael monfee loses 1st set 4-6.

gael up a double break in the second set tho.......

 

[El Dude]

Yeah, as a Roger fan I'm really rooting for Little Diego here. After Nadal and Djokovic, Monfils might be the player who can best beat Roger these days.

Actually, if we include Davis Cup, Gael Monfils is the only player other than Novak Djokovic who has beaten Roger more than once in 2014-15. Gael has beaten him twice, Novak five times.

 

[El Dude]

Ernests is down 2-1 and a break in the fourth. What a head-case.

 

[El Dude]

Bautista-Agut upset by Lukas Rosol.

 

[brokenshoelace]

At what point does Gulbis stop being recognized as a head case and starts being recognized as not good?

 

[Moose]

Ernests is down 2-1 and a break in the fourth. What a head-case.

He is one game away from being outside the Top 75

At what point does Gulbis stop being recognized as a head case and starts being recognized as not good?

I don't know that you can say he is not good. It's a fair resume - Slam semi-finalist, top 10 player, 6 career titles.

When he both concentrates and does the work, he is capable of playing great tennis. It feels like he does not care, though. I find his lack of motivation to improve/play better and more consistent tennis maddening.

 

[Kirijax]

Dang it. There goes my Darkhorse. Who's the shmoo that convinced me to pick F3 for my darkhorse? :snicker

Godzilla?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

4 seeds gone today alone. Verdasco, Fog, Gulbis and RBA.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Does anyone know anything about the style of play of Dzumhur, Fed's next opponent.
I have never heard of this guy.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

ESPN3 is not showing multiple matches. They are showing only Berdych match right now whereas I want to watch Monfils match.

In USO, they show all 7 show courts for free and you can pick whatever match you want to watch and watch it without interruptions (or the tv producers deciding when to switch from one match to another). Hope all GS's can provide service like that.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

MOnfils vs. Diego is now going to 5th set.

 

[Haelfix]

MOnfils vs. Diego is now going to 5th set.

The Monfils Diego match was high quality. Monfils looks really good as usual at Paris.

Roger meanwhile looked iffy in his match. Decent returning in the past few months (compared to the last decade or so) and some punch on the backhand, but he's not going to win without a forehand and with spotty point construction. I think Monfils will beat Roger.

Wawrinka looked terrible, I think he might make an early exit.
