Mcfly levels his match. Into the decider we go. Troicki is serving for the match against Bernie 5-4 in the decider. RBA is laying a smackdown on Granola, 6-1 2-1 w/ a break

Nico seems to be still coming back from the foot injury. But even in good shape, he'd only drag this out a bit. Novak is hitting some miraculous shots today.

For a moment I thought they detoured into Pennsylvania... Unlike PennDot, at least the grounds crew was quick to fix that pothole in the back of the court.

SWEET back hand down the line from Almagro! :clap

Novak's level has dropped some, and Nicky is playing better.

It behooves Novak to have this tighter set so he can get some real competitive match play in....and he seems like the kind of person who prefers it.

Last couple of games have been a nice display of serving from both. TB.

Novak is playing so far back... somewhere near Sicily. Needs to at least get within eyesight of the baseline. :nono

And Nicky takes the 2nd set. Happy Birthday Carol!

Magro gets the second, gives Nole more opportunity to get his clay legs.

Thanks so much!!! very nice detail :hug (though I'm cheering for Nico, don't kill me lol :devil)

Oh nooooo :cover

Decent match this. Almagro has a nice clay court game but Djokovic will edge it 6-4ish.

I like Nicky a lot. Am kinda bummed they are facing off so early... hopefully his foot is okay.

Gimelstob has the best comment of the day... Becker's game face is just like Lindsey Davenport's.

:laydownlaughing
