Bloody Fognini. How are you ever supposed to know?
Mission impossible to guess how far he will go in any tournament. I hope he can come out with clear head tomorrow, but with no room for error against the big server hard to see him go through here.

Exactly. And like Mrzz, I decided to go with the Fog in this one, and even to beat his young countryman later in the draw, thinking he'd go with pride. Well, obviously, I was NOT thinking very well.

OK. Time for day two predictions. I project the following four upsets, although there could be other upsets.

1. Alex Popyrin to beat up Tsonga, who is on his way to becoming irrelevant.
2. Doubles player Herbert will do Brexit for C. Norrie.
3. Moutet to oust Cilic
4. Tommy Paul to oust L. Meyer.

Last two were projected on day 1 itself, but they got postponed.

He was too busy filling out the draw challenge associated with another group. As you know, he rarely has time to post here.

How can I be blamed? They give real prizes, not just bragging rights. So, they get priority.

The last time when Serena won USO, I won $500 from them.

No blame, just a raspberry. You insist you have no time to fill out the bracket for our team, and yet you have time to make this thread, and the other one, and etc. And you like to posit your upsets, etc. Why not join the fray and really put your picks out there? :popcorn

Gulbis leads FAA two sets to one, and is a break up 3-2 in the fourth

Upset brewing young Aussie Popyrin is up 2 sets to one against Tsonga 67(5) 62 61..Tsonga has called for a trainer,some problem in his lower back,dr has now arrived on court.Talked with Dr and has decided to retire.

Popyrin wins by retirement 67(5) 62 61.
