Tsonga was shown the doo today, partly thanks to double hit. There may be one more upset on the cards.

After checking the rules, Ivo did not get a break. Double hits are permitted if unintentional in a single fluid swing.

It was discussed in greater detail and slow mtion videos are shown later. The conclusion is that it is not a single continuous swing and so is illegal. However, they also concluded that it appears to be a single continuous motion to the naked eye and so the umpire could not possibly have detected it. Finally, they also concluded that Ivo did not cheat either as it is improbably that he knew that he did double hit in the heat of the moment.

Agreed.

Potential upset of Novak brewing in Court 1. Anderson up two sets. But, Novak is a break up on 3rd.

Today, we had 2.5 upsets.

1. #6 Berdcyh taken out in straight sets by #12 Simon.
2. #22 V. Troicky lost (after winning the first two sets) to unseeded Popsicle.

We will wait on the 0.5 upset to complete tomorrow. :plot

On the day of quarterfinals, we had one upset.

#21 Richard "former-perennial-choker" Gasquet took out #4 Stan the Man in 5 sets with courage, determination and variety .

Theoretically speaking, We have a maximum of three possible upsets in store.
I hope for 0 in semis and 1 in finals. :plot
