Hear, hear. Still hoping Dimitrov takes this set and we get a third set out of this.

Can someone summarise? I can't even see the match stats 
Is Dimi playing some beautiful stuff?

6-0 to Dimitrov in the breaker... Surely going to a 3rd set!
EDIT: he takes it 7-0.

Looks like a good hold for 3-0. Real chance for Dimitrov here

Very nice! Maybe del Potro next. How he takes that matchup on will be a good marker of how far he's come and how far he has yet to go...

Potro not waiting around, 2 breaks, takes the first 6-3 and will open the second.
Anyone able to report on how the first set went?

Pretty dominant set for Delpo. Wasn't threatened on his serve much and Nieminen just seems to lack the firepower to hurt Delpo anywhere.

Second set quiet open? Looks like break opportunities on all but 2 games so far, but stayng with serve..

Jarkko playing much better in the 2nd set. In a lot of Delpo's service games but Delpo is coming up with big aces at crucial moments.

Thanks.
Delpo really is the man. He's got MP, and takes it at the second time. Him vs Dimitrov. Wonder what time that's likely to be, would love to watch that one.

Delpo should take that one in two close sets. 5 and 5 I'd say.

Would be a good result for Dim I think, if he can remain competitive and push it to that.

Just another reason why Davis Cup is a bad idea.

Liking the match so far. Benny actually playing well and so is Federer, so this isn't Wimbly where half of it was ********.

Doesn't seem like an interesting tournament so far, although I'd like to see Del Potro continue his winning streak against Federer like in 2009.

I think Benneteau might give federer some trouble, especially if it goes to a tiebreak. Benneteau was only 2 points away from beating federer at Wimbledon.

Winning streak like he had against Nadal in 2009?
