I understand, it sucks when Gasquet loses.
Murray to start soon against Stakhovsky, while Nadal/Lopez take on Youzhny/Santoro. Go Misha!

I'm loving this Stakhovsky...nice to see a (relatively) low-ranked one-hander doing fairly well against Murray.Nice touch as well.

Murray annoys the living **** out of me.

He won Zagreb Indoors, but aside from that not much. He can play, but very on and off.

Murray 1st set 6-4, and he's up a break 1-0 in the 2nd.

Disappointing but expected outcome I suppose. I'd like to see more or this Stakhovsky dude.

I get bored of watching him after a while. Got nothing against him though.
Hahaha great display of cowardice there.
Now you have a gripe against me because i made you chicken out of the Cash thread.
So since i like Agassi, Nadal and Guga that would mean they lack flare [sic] and excitement.
I expect another bail-out reply if you ever do make it through this egg-on-face ordeal.

Yes but Nadal/Lopez won anyway
.I couldn't see any match today. Did Murray seem OK physically? 2 days ago the commentators mentioned his back was bothering him.

i notice that his shots were had a bit less pace and aggression on them today but his movement looked fine, he was chasing down balls well, but i didnt see nearly as much of the shot making that he could do today. so maybe that was due to the back?

Apparently. If that's the case I hope he will take it easy tomorrow, another marathon match against Fed could compromise his fitness before AO and Doha isn't worth the risk IMO.

If it does happen I just hope the result is different than their last final at Doha.

Let's not!
The Swiss master has played terribly and horribly tennis last year. I hope he does improve and proof to the world that he could make a comeback and capture the world no 1 from Nadal and also to stop the great run from the rising star Murray by the age of 27/28 but then overall i'm not on Federer.
I am mentally tough!

Totally unexpected for them to beat the #1 double team. So glad Rafa is ending this tournament on a positive note! I think they said 7:30pm local time for tomorrow.
I missed it. I love a good game of doubles - pace, touch, skill, everything in one little basket.

If 3 set matches are a marathon for Murray then he is going to be in serious trouble at the AO.

Marathon for a "wounded" player but the match was much easier than I expected it would be in the end.

Nadal takes the doubles title, his 5th. He should increase in rating (#91) to #80, his best last year.
