Upset Corner: Day 1.

1. Mad doctor euthanized by Kyrgios

3. Popsicle burst by Bolleli
4. Worm eaten by unknown German

Did I miss anything else?

Oh, Boy, Looks like the honey moon is over. Too bad.

Novak in full form leading 4-0 in set 1.

Looks like, I spoke too fast. Diego hits a winner off of Novak's smash and then goes on to
break Novak.

I'm trying to decide what I'd rather watch...pre-season N.Eph.L phootball, or men's US Open phirst round matches on Arthur Ashe on ESPN. Both seem to be equally boring, no matter HOW interesting the commentators try to make 'em. Breaking Bad re-runs it is, I guess.

preseason does not count. USO win/loss counts.

You didn't think he was going to get a bagel, did you?
Novak returns the favor and breaks back at 15

A bread stick is still bakery product.

Yes, I know. But it's still boring as hell... Watching Djokovic play whoever the hell he's playing would be about as interesting as watching Jordan's Chicago Bulls play a high school team.
Unless I'm a phan of a superior player/team, I'd much rather watch two mediocre players/teams play each other than watch one superior player/team destroy an inpherior player/team.

Diego broke Novak two times in the whole match and had couple more bp chances on
other games as well.

^ It was an effort made, and yes, fly-weight v. heavy-weight. But, @IHaychew, that's Slam first rounds. That's why MS are better from the early stages. If you like ENEPHEL more, then watch it. But some of us wanted to see how young Diego would handle the big stage. Not great, not bad. I'd give him a C+.
