kyle Edmund withdraws, stomach injury..was playing nick k. (source: various uk meeja)

 

[nehmeth]

I guess I will be getting up early to watch Caroline and Julia.

Wondering how Joao Sousa will do against Andy.

Looks as though Novak will be "slumming it" over at Lenglen tomorrow.

Novak fan riot. How dare the world number 1 play on the second biggest court... blah blah blah.

 

[El Dude]

Nick Kyrgios gains 5 ranking spots with "win" over Edmund. LOL. Anyhow, he's now at #25 in the live rankings. Moving up in the world.

I heard Nadal requested that Nole plays on the 2nd court.

As for Sousa....Nehmeth, it won't be pretty for the pretty boy....luckily I won't see it.:snicker

Apparently Lenglen is the place to be again. They put both #1s over there. Besides, I hear it's a bit faster than Chatrier.

 

[Kirijax]

Nadal-Almagro: Snore
Djokovic-Muller: Snore
Murray-Sousa: Should not be a problem
Isner-Chardy: Could be a dangerous match for Isner
Robredo-Coric: Very intriguing match
Sock-Busta Rhymes: Don't waste that upset Jack!
Tomic-Kokkinakis: This one should be fun to watch

Kvitova-Soler-Espinosa: No fooling around this time please
Wozniacki-Goerges: Potentially dangerous for Caroline
Williams-Friedsam: Another match for Serena to test her arm
Kuznetsova-Schiavone: Former French Open Champs battle! In the 2nd Rd!

 

[Billie]

Warning to Andy...Sousa can swear in 5 languages.

I'm with Billie here. Sousa is pretty. Just sayin'.

Kyle Edmund defaults his second round match with Krygios. So Krygios now has time for some extracurricular activities while he awaits the winner of Murray-Sousa for a third round match.

 

[Federberg]

That's a real shame for Kyle. I have to say I really enjoyed watching the young fella. Love the forehand. Hope to see a good run in the grass court swing, and a move up the rankings. The mentality he showed gives hope that he could become a top 50 player, which would be something for a Brit

 

[Federberg]

My instinct when I saw that Gasquet (the only top French man playing today) is not playing on Chatrier was shock. But then thinking about it, I wouldn't be surprised if he asked for that. Too much attention seems to shrivel the guys 'nads unfortunately. I know Chardy is not a top player but couldn't they have put his match on Chatrier? Isner - Chardy is quite high profile surely. I suppose I should congratulate the French for a balanced selection

 

[herios]

Cilic into the 3rd round over Italian qualifier Arnaboldi: 7-6, 6-1, 6-1.

He has already passed James Ward in the ranking and I am sure he'll have a better career than him, considering his age.

Yeah, the live rankings counts this as a win, but I am pretty sure I saw once in the ATP site that when you move on by WO you don't get the round's points. If you win the next one, fine, everything is normal again, but if you lose you stay with the points you earned in the last win.
