Shame about Wawrinka.

Personally, I think it's wise. He (and Roger) made the big push to go play DC from Oz, which was enough.

Very true. I just wanted to see him play tennis again.

Novak's done it twice against Nadal too if I recall. Certainly double faulted one match away and a set in another. Was it Rome 2012 he lost on a double fault and then also lost a set in RG 2012 (1st set?) to a DF and ultimately the match serving 5-6 down in the 4th and lost on a DF if I recall?

Moxie mentioned last week how much Mathieu has fallen being ranked 135, he is making some steps forward here in this event:
First he qualified beating Brands who is ranked about 60 spots higher, then he defeats Dodig in R1, who is ranked about 100 spots higher.

That's a good achievement for him. Recent injuries slowed him down a lot.

Great match between these two! :clap The match game was classic shotmaking. Dimi comes through 6-4 in the 3rd.

Delpo-Monfils will only be the second time these two meet, even though both have been around for 10 or so years. Anyone else knows any other match-up that did NOT take place even though players have been around for a decade? You would think these two would bump into each other more often.

Not watching tennis now, being busy with figure skating at the Olympics LIVE, but big claps for JMDP, just checking on his result, a good win in 2 sets against a tough customer

:clap

Cilic beat Jo Tsonga in straights. Apparently Cilic is deciding to string more than a few wins together.
