[Moose]

I thought there were better 1st round matches than 2nd round matches (at least top half 2nd round). Most of today's schedule looks manageable for the seeds, whereas you really sensed the possibility of upsets, and good contests, in the Round of 128.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Rafa playing against my favorite little man, Schwartzman. He is a solid player but Rafa looked OK , so he does not have much of a chance. End of the road for my homeboy Ilhan, Paire should win that one easily.

Agree with Moose. Not a classic lineup of matches today.

 

[Kirijax]

Looking forward to Lopez-Fish and Raonic-Verdasco. The others might have a couple hidden surprises in there.

I do think Fish has a good chance against Feli Lopez. Also Raonic might be less OK health wise than he looked in R1. At our Sport channel they mentioned that suddenly, due to back problems he cancelled his practice session yesterday. I am interested to see what will happen there

Verdasco will beat Milos if he serves like he did against Haas

 

[Carol]

Feli and Versasco are very unpredictable players, they are good, both have a great serve but they can have a very illuminate or a mediocre day, I wouldn't bet on either one of them :huh:

 

[herios]

As I expected Mardy is 1 set all with Feli and one break up in the third

Agreed

Ferrer always get very favorable draws in the grand slams

Too bad it hasn't helped him win one. :snicker

 

[Moose]

Mardy was up a break in the 4th, but Deliciano finally broke back. I kind of have a sense that Mardy needs for this to end in 4 in order to win.

 

[Moose]

And Mardy will serve for the match.

BTW, is it just my ESPN3 screen, or are Mardy's shorts totally see through?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Mardy serves for the match. If he wins this one, he will get Ashe Stadium placement for his next match as prize.

 

[Moose]

And Feliciano breaks Mardy at love. Pressure from being away so long and not being battle tough?

Who are you kidding? Mardy like most guys outside the elite; unable to finish! Nothing new! :cover uzzled :nono

 

[Denis]

Fish's fitness is a bit fishy.

 

[Denis]

Sucks to end your career like this.

 

[the AntiPusher]

That' shameful the way the match ended for Marty.

vernando fiasco wins a 3rd set tb to fend off impending defeat v milos.
