Not such an exciting day tomorrow. I'm so much picturing any upsets, though I wonder how some players might show up. Raonic v. Vesely is a battle of the young guns…23 v. 20. And Vesely is taller even than Milos. I'll be interested to see what kind of fight the young Czech can put up. Janowicz gets the veteran Nieminen…can he string together 2 wins? Djokovic gets Chardy, who he has really owned in their H2H…let's see if my theory that So. American results matter, and the Frenchman snags a set. If he gets skunked again, I suppose I'll be eating my shoe. :snigger

Seems rather a tame schedule on the surface but some intriguing match ups none the less. Tsonga/Melzer is one, and Agut/Paire is another. I think Agut can be a tricky opponent if he wins a few rounds.

It is also rare to have a bunch of players that are total unknowns playing...Nedovyesov, Shwartzman, etc...always interesting.

No rain for the moment but the sky is grey and it's not very hot

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

^^ I agree it is not very hot. getting the same cool cloudy/rainy dross here as paris is from that late spring north sea oscillating low pressure system, its determined to revolve on its bloody axis for the rest of yet-to-be-recorded time.

I bet the same weather system will be hovering around for so long it will be getting on the melonz of buck rogers in the 25th century.

Steps is running all over the mad Doctor. 6-0 6-3

Gulbis had a routine victory!

 

[britbox]

He'll be playing Stepanek, whose just knocked Youhzny.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Comeback of the tournament I guess, from Johnson. Beats Lokoli coming from 2 sets and 0-4 down. He will play Sock next.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Dog is in a dog fight with Granola. Break down in the 5th.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

^Fight is over, Dog is going home.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Vesely breaks Milos after a bunch of tries.Leads 5-3 in the first. Bird lost the first set as well.

 

[Riotbeard]

Novak's up 2 sets to love after an hour on court.

 

[Riotbeard]

Novak breaks in the first game of the third. This should be routine from here.

 

[britbox]

Fed broken early in the first set.

 

[isabelle]

Chardy plays poorly

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Good comeback from Milos to take the first in a TB. Vesely is good player, crafty lefty.

I guess Roger got his wake up call early. Breaks back.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Incredible hands from MIlos. That was Roger-like.

But Vesely breaks again in the second.

Nole wants to get off court quickly.
Um, how tall is Schwartzzman? 5'5, 5'6?. I remember when guys like Chang had a chance with that height. Nowadays you may as well try soccer, cause everyone's over 6' in tennis.
