^^^ Gotta agree .... deuce and Lu's gotta hold here!!!

I have a feeling Mathieu's going to go mental if he gets broken here. Lu had balls of steel to go for a drop shot on that deuce point last game though. Both guys playing great.
 
Nice attacking play from Lu to get to 4-3, Mathieu's been strangely mentally tough so far though.

MP 6-5 Lu, Mathieu's been serving great all match needs another first serve here..

Potential QF Matches!

Nadal/Lu (they've never played) - Always interesting when Nadal plays an opponent for the first time

Murray/Nalbandian (0-2 H2H) - Nalbandian has beat Murray on HC and grass

Federer/Berdych (revenge!) - A dish best served cold... Tomas has won their last 2 meetings

Djokovic/Davydenko (3-2 H2H) - All 5 HC meetings... could go either way

Nadal/Wawrinka match was quite fun to watch in person :)

What an awesome billing tomorrow, too.

How was that tiebreaker? We were all thinking of you while it was occurring. That had to be one of the most intense, nail-biting TB's ever.

LOL I was thinking of TW in some of these intense moments :lol: The tiebreaker was pretty much worth the ticket price, in itself. The match was good spectator fun, but not really high-quality, you could say. But that TB was back and forth so many times, definitely good drama:)

I was also situated near a group of like 20 Spanish fans, so that was fun too.

If anyone was wondering what the conditions were like, it was pretty humid. I don't know how it affected the players, but it was definitely muggy (no pun intended).

Also, I think I saw someone write in another thread that Nadal's backhands were moonballs?

I LOL'ed.

Did you see Hingis in the crowd? Was she there?

Berdych forehand is looking more whippy than before. Atleast it always seemed to me like he got some sneaky power from clicking joints at just the right moment, but now it looks different. Still working though :twisted:
 
Berdych struggleing a bit against Dolgopolov right now. He also got some treatment on his knee, I think - hope he's alright!

I am very impressed with Dolgopolov. The young guy is very talented indeed. I'm a Berdych fan, but if Dolgo ends up winning this, you won't hear me muttering!

TB time right now.
 
Dolgo takes the second set in the TB, great S/V play from him! Great stuff!

Tomas' movement looks off, it's obvious that his knee is hampering him.
 
Dolgopolov definitely added to list of my favourite players. Serve/volley on set point takes cajones and he played a perfect tiebreak. Third set should be awesome will have to keep switching between this and the Nalby/Sod match.

He's on my list as well by now. Happily joining the bandwagon after this great 2nd set. Been keeping an eye on him for a while already, and yes, looks like he's the 'real deal'.

Yep, really entertaining to watch, I'm thinking top 20 in the next year with a huge chance of improving on even that. He's certainly got every shot just needs the consistency now.
 
What's up with the Dumb move by putting what will be a Blow out match with Nadal and Anderson on Prime time slot tonight ?? Silly tournament scheduler. Fire him now.

Who else should get the night session? It doesn't come any better than the World Number One.

WTH happened to Dolgopolov??? The poor last game came out of nowhere.

Ah, too bad, a dreadful final serve game from Dolgo - very costly indeed, and coming from out of nowhere... Berdych through.

That's been another major weakness to this point. He has a tendency to throw in a really poor service game at an important moment.

It appears he's improved his second serve, however.
 
Federer and Llodra have never met outside of the challenger tour

0-0 H2H

1999 Challenger Brest France

Federer d. Llodra 6-3, 6-3

okay. this is what I want to know about Berd's MTO: You know how he said it was for his knee? But then the physio was rubbing his thigh. Could it have been cramping?

The reason I ask is that Gulbis was refused treatment for cramping.

Uhm, I don't think that was the reason why Gulbis' was refused - it was the moment in the match. As far as I understood what was happening, the ump did the right thing and told him to wait till after his opponent's serve game. Strangely enough, Gulbis didn't need any treatment at that point anymore. Draw your own conclusions about it. ;)
