You're right, I looked it up.

He has two other earlier ones: Peter Wessels at the 2000 USO and Sargis Sargsian 2001 FO.

Ok, so it is 8 total then.

Probably a bad day at the office... I still think he'll go quite deep in the tournament.

Yeah, this. Murray is actually no stranger to these weird early round struggles. I think he's had to come back from two sets down quite a few times in his career (I think he did it twice or 3 times against Gasquet alone). I remember he had a similar match with Robin Haase at the US Open in 2012, but still went on to win the whole thing.

I don't see this as anything more than a match that ended up being trickier than expected. He'll be fine.

the mighty john isner wins on clay. the whole world is cheering. (possibly).

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

murray was 2points from going out. there was that longish rally..the tension was mental...o_O

..at 30-30 on a murray service game (and serving after the worm) he was dicing with defeat big time. but mystical forces of murray secured the win.

Let's see how the fabulous Fog does. I'm hoping he wins but I picked Granola bar to win in the bracket.

Let's see how the fabulous Fog does. I'm hoping he wins but I picked Granola bar to win in the bracket.

I did, too. Fog hasn't been much of late. And he's currently down a set and a break to Marcel. It's Fabio's bday today, apparently. He's 29. Djokovic was Sunday and Murray last week. Apparently, the Tennis Racquet was in Gemini this time in 1987.

 

[DarthFed]

Granola is just solid enough on clay to allow Fog to implode, especially when the latter has been in bad form for quite awhile now.

Sorry for Moxie....and for Chung !!

I'm not really a booster, just thought he looked good and confident, and he's young. Hasn't done much of late. Perhaps I'm bad luck for the guy. I'm still going to keep an eye on him, though. At least he was in the main draw. The Nextgen guy I really pull for lost in quallys.
