Granola holds at love to take the match 7-5 in the decider. Good effort for the kid. Granola will be saying goodbye in the next round courtesy of Novak.

Good veteran win from Granollers, but nice effort from the US guy. And yeah, the guy plays for the $, since either is not gonna beat the Serbian #1.

Youzhny wins. And does the oddest salute in tennis.

I love that celebration. I like Youzhny but I don't really know why. Really glad he put Haas out.

I take it you are not a fan of Tommy 's game, I am curious , why

No, his game his fine. I'm not keen on the man.

I'm guessing that's due to his criticizing Murray for acting injured after every point he loses?

Listening to his interviewers, I have to say that Djokovic's English has improved tremendously.

I think his English has always been excellent. I find myself forgetting that it's not his 1st language. He seems to speak quite a few languages and very well.

I'm not that petty. I've just never been keen on the man.

BTW I do know that he sought Andy out and apologised. He claimed he was 'misquoted'.

Yes, he speaks good Italian as well.

His Italian is more than serviceable, and he says he speaks some German. He definitely has a talent for languages. Last week's New Yorker profile says he speaks 5 languages. Not sure of the other one, though. (Local dialect? Certainly not French.)

The 5th language he speaks is bad language.

No, that's Andy Murray. ;)
