Qualifying Round 2
R. Sweeting(WC) v H. Chung (6) 1:6 1:6

I have no idea Mr. Cuoco is still playing the tennis :-?

 

[MichaelNadal]

C'mon Isner

It's clay at but not as we know it.

This high bouncing stuff favors the big hitters rather then the grinders as Groth's win over Estrella Borges demonstrates.

I think Isner, Anderson and Querry should have a better chance then traditional clay courters Verdasco, Bautista-Agut or Del Bonis.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

4 consecutive breaks of serve in this Hewitt-Soeda match. Hewitt up a set.

 

[forzamilan90]

Verdasco to win it all. Fear the forehand

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Hewitt loses the 2nd set despite having match point....

 

[rainingaces]

Good win for Johnson over Young 7-5 6-4 sets up another all American clash against Querrey.

 

[rainingaces]

Chung will cause fiasco problems next round book it.

Tipsarevic is currently on court and he isn't playing too bad for his first match back.

In the doubles we have a Pakistani partnering an Israeli which should set an example to the jaziri's/foreign tennis foundations of this world.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Hewitt loses the 2nd set despite having match point....

Smh

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Tipsarevic wins first single match since injury in 2013. Saves 2 MP.

[The Green Mile]

Yes, Tipsarevic vs Giraldo round 2.

 

[The Green Mile]

I think Bautista Agut will win the whole thing though...

Yeah, you have a good point. Isner, Karlovic and Roddick have all won this event.
