[PSNELKE]

Nice field imo.
Monfils should win this.
After seeing Cilic play the last few months I doubt he´ll get even past BYE.
So the Top seed should go out early and Kohly should make a nice run into the final.

 

[PSNELKE]

Dang I should have included PHM to the poll-options.

 

[norbac]

I'll go with Richie here.

 

[Tennis360]

I HOPE Richard Gasquet will be in the finals here.

Thank goodness Richard won the tight battle of the Frenchies (v PHM) 4-6 7-6 7-6 in 2 hours and 37 mins

 

[Winky]

is this streamed/stram/strum anywhere?

 

[PSNELKE]

I´d rather take Cilic for the win than Gilles Simon..
Just lost a set to the 159 ranked dutchman Igor Sjisling in the TBer.

For quick brackets/scores/results.

 

[PSNELKE]

Cilic is one lucky man that he won the first set 7-5 otherwise we all know that he would´ve lost the Tie-Breaker.

 

[PSNELKE]

TB in the 2 set.
We know what that means.
1 set all.

 

[MixieP]

What happened to Llodra - is he injured?

 

[PSNELKE]

Surprisingly Cilic takes the TB 7-3.
Cilic cruises into the QF against Kohli.

 

[seffina]

Would be nice for Cilic to start building some momentum leading up to AOpen next year. Simon as well.

 

[Tennis360]

Gasquet into the semi-finals, winning 4 tiebreaks in a row. Great win!

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

Richie withdrew due to "illness" - reports say he has high fever.

 

[tacou]

does fatherhood suit simon? his best result in nearly a year, dropping only 6 points on serve in 53 minutes. wow.

I'd love to see Simon vs Richard final but now I'm fully pulling for Gilles to grab a title I'd like to see him back in the top 10

not a very exciting final.

 

[tacou]

damned...
not a very exciting final.

it is if you like gilles simon

 

[wintintu]

Zverev and Simon have met twice, both matches going to the German! (albeit on clay)

 

[sdont]

I hope Gilles wins this. Would be good for his confidence and he needs the points.

 

[sdont]

First set Simon 6-3. Anybody watching?

 

[seffina]

First set Simon 6-3. Anybody watching?

I've it on in the background. Not too exciting, unfortunately. But I'll be happy for Simon's if/when he wins this!

 

[sdont]

Wow you could see how much he wanted it in the last game: 2 aces, 1 booming FH winner and a service winner to close it out.

Congrats Gilou!

 

[db379]

Good win for Gilles!

 

[tacou]

didn't see it but very glad for Gilles

[stevorino]
