Yes, in Tuesday we'll have the other 10 matches and some R2 matches, and on Wednesday the rest of the R2 matches.
It makes it odd to pick by the day because the days aren't from any particular half of the draw or even from the same round.

Day 1: Gasquet
BU: RBA

Day 2: Querrey
BU: Anderson
(Neither of those 2 players are day 1 so surely they're day 2).

This tournament is FORCING me to gag on my words from last tournament about not picking a french guy

D1: Gasquet
BU: Mischa Zverev
I was just noticing a lot of picks for Le Bleu. Sure Gasquet is playing some Canadian wild card that he "should" beat... but what happened to Kyrgios last year?

Spaniards on the other hand are always persistent. Always looking for the guy with 6 fingers on his right hand!

Gasquet is the obvious pick - big difference in ranking and experience to his opponent, unlikely to be your pick to reach the later rounds, has not lost to a player outside the top 100 this season ...

Still, somehow I couldn't quite get myself to put my fate in his hands ... :p

Okay if Gasquet can't beat a Canadian wild card and someone I've never even heard of, he should just buy a one way ticket to Helsinki.

Day 1 Pick: Gasquet
B/U: RBA

Shapo>>>>Schnur and was playing literally in his backyard. Reeshard is not a flake like Nick. Also, they're playing in FRENCH Quebec, not Ontario so Schnur is the "foreigner."

Told you, sooner or later everyone will pick a french player again. There is always a french to pick that has an "easy" match in the first round/second round of almost every tournament.

Gasquet could not beat ferrer on grass :eek:

Ferrer is not a Canadian Wild Card ranked well outside the top 100, probably making his first appearance in an ATP tour level event. ;)

If he does go down though, at least I'll have lots of company on my flight to Helsinki!

Well f*ck me, I don't understand how Gasquet won the first set. He saved 4 set points and played like sh*t most of the tie break.
