[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

VS.

[fecaleagle]

Sadly, I think it will be Berdych in 2 or 3.

 

[Goosehead]

hoping del potro can waste skeletor in straights.

apparently old skeletor berdy had scan on hamstring niggle after daviscup, so might not be fully fit, improving del potro can take advantage.

 

[ruerooo]

I'm looking forward to this match!

Even though I am nervous.

Did anybody catch JMDP's presser after his 2-set victory to find out how he was feeling?

 

[Goosehead]

delpotro said he was feeling good, enjoying being around the top guys again, and he was surprised at how good his level was.

 

[stringertom]

JMDP in three. TweetyBerd is a bit nicked up and the Tower of Tandil will take advantage of that FTW.

 

[The Green Mile]

First very big test for the big man. We'll see how his backhand holds up, and if Berdych can exploit it. I think Berdych will win though.

 

[acintya]

In how many hours from now is the match?

 

[The Green Mile]

In how many hours from now is the match?

I think around 8 hours?

 

[Gytha]

yes it's 2nd match on and they start in 6 hours, so Delpo-Berdy should be in 7-8 hours time depending on how fast the first one is (hoping for a quick one!)

 

[acintya]

finally a match I can watch! thanks.hope they will pick this match on tv

They have to TV this. Otherwise it means tennis TV know nothing about tennis. How could that be possible?

Great match time for the those in Europe. It could have been much worse.

Delpo in 2. Don't think Berdy is going to do much to the Delpo slice and that slice was the most consistent slice on tour in last match; may turn out to be the most consistent backhand on tour.

Great evening schedule for the Brits tonight from 7pm: Konta, Delpo, then Murray

I hope you're right. Berdy hasn't been looking too hot lately and Delpo's FH is still a beast. But a top 10er might be a tall order..... a real test for him here. Still.... VAMOS!

 

[romeo8880]

Berdych should win easily. Delpo nowhere near ready to take on top players.

 

[killerboi2]

Del Po to teach this weak era chump a lesson.

 

[Gytha]

FFS. Every other match rattling through quickly except Kerber/Allertova which is likely to go 3.

 

[heninfan99]

psyched for this one.

 

[PeteD]

psyched for this one.

I'm predicting Berdych is not as psyched for it as Delp

 

[Gytha]

Yesss thank you Allertova! Let's go

 

[Gytha]

Sky sports u little ****s please switch to this match, I want to watch on the TV and not PC for a change

 

[The Green Mile]

Sky sports u little ****s please switch to this match, I want to watch on the TV and not PC for a change

They showing Kyrgios/Ramos Vinolas right?

 

[Gytha]

They showing Kyrgios/Ramos Vinolas right?

Yeah I'd much rather watch Delpo than Kyrgios clowning it up. Hopefully they switch once the match gets underway.

.... Yeah, changed over as I was posting!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I'm hyped.

 

[Meles]

Its on!

 

[The Green Mile]

Nice serving from both early on. 1-1.

 

[Gytha]

2 BPs for Delpo!

 

[The Green Mile]

A couple of errors, including a DF, and Delpo has 2 BPs.

 

[Meles]

Berdy choking!

 

[PeteD]

Tennis Channel blowing it nicely

 

[The Green Mile]

Great net skills from Tomas this game. Deuce.

Backhand into the net, and Delpo has a 3rd BP.

 

[Gytha]

Berd choke? Serve going AWOL.

 

[Gytha]

Delpo could have had that and he knows it!

 

[The Green Mile]

Berd choke? Serve going AWOL.

Nervous start. Pressure is on, because he's expected to win this.

 

[The Green Mile]

Berdych holds on for 2-1.

 

[Meles]

Berdy barely holds on for 2-1.

Yeah he may well settle in. Finally holds after a touch and go service game...

[The Green Mile]

Convincing hold from Delpo. 2-2.

 

[Tomxc]

Berdych should win easily. Delpo nowhere near ready to take on top players.

Not if Berdych is off today, considering he withdrew from Davis Cup with an injury.

 

[La Grande]

Kyrgios-Ramos-Vinolas in a first set breaker

 

[Gytha]

Great serving and an easy hold! 2-2

I'm so happy to see that FH in action again. *heart eyes*

 

[Meles]

Essentialy the third DF of match already for Berdy (one not called, but was out on Hawkeye.)

 

[mightyrick]

Del Potro slicing most of his backhands. He is not going to be long for this tournament.

 

[Djokovic2011]

I'm really liking Del Potro's kit. I'm guessing Sharapova ain't so keen though.

 

[Meles]

Nice rally by Berdy to hold for 3-2.

 

[The Green Mile]

Damn, good rally won with a big forehand by Berdych. Much better game there. 3-2.

 

[La Grande]

First set Ramos-Vinolas (vs Kyrgios)
