Simon returning well, no cheap points for Rogerio. Simon breaks for 1-0, 2nd set.

Chung playing very well...but can he keep this going?
I have a bad feeling that this will be a 0-2 comeback for Dimitrov in 5 sets.

Chung takes 2 breaks in the first set to win it 6-1! Chung has a real chance of moving onto round 3 if he keeps this up.

I don't think so. If Chung wins this next set, he's likely to take the match simply because no comeback (as of yet) has been from a first set that bad.

He's climbing. I loved to watch him last year. He's certainly going to be a top 20 player for his career if he stays this way into his 20's.

Chung-Dimitrov summary:
Chung playing really well. Placing his shots well and making Dimitrov work for it. However, Dimitrov is making more UEs than FEs. It seems to be less of what Hyeon Chung is doing, and rather what Grigor Dimitrov isn't. If he gets his head back in the game, Dimitrov can definitely recover.

Too many UEs off Dutra Silva's forehand. Rogerio serving at 0-2, 40-40. Simon getting some great depth on his shots. Another forehand error, and Simon has BP.
Simon attacks the 2nd serve and has the easiest of backhands, but nets it. Deuce.

Bloody hell, last time I checked the score in Dimi's match it was 1-1 in the 1st set. Now I look and see he lost it 6-1 and has been broken at the beginning of the 2nd!

Dimitrov breaks.
He got this, he'll play a lot smarter now that he knows what he's up against.

Chung losing some mentality since Dimitrov showed up in the second. Let's hope he makes it interesting.

Dutra Silva fights off the triple break, and holds for 1-4, 2nd set.

They're winning their own serves pretty well. Their returns need some work on both ends. Chung just shut out Dimitrov in the 5th game.

If only Simon could confidently sneak into the net against top players. Holds for 5-1, 2nd set.

Chung's serve action used to be really compact earlier IIRC. Much more going on now.

Simon gets that triple break, and takes the 2nd set 6/1. Cruising. It's been a great performance so far. Crowd enjoying it. Simon usually always seems to be the favourite on smaller, outer courts. You watch him live in person, and then you really realize how ridiculous his tennis is.

Forehand has really let Dutra Silva down. Simon breaks for 2-0, 3rd set.

David Ferrer is getting bullied around by Escobedo. Looks like the beginning of a straight sets drubbing.

Simon wins 6/4 6/1 6/1. Extremely solid match from the Frenchmen, everything working for him. One of his best matches of the last year or so. Hopefully he builds on this, and plays a great match against most probably Raonic. Different kettle of fish obviously, but still....
