Well, the draw just came out a few hours ago. Some pretty tough first round matches.

I am going with Berdych vs Tsonga finals, with Tsonga winning it.

 

[rainingaces]

Good field of players. Looks like Delpo is going to have to do it the hard way.

 

[Vensai]

This field makes for an interesting tournament. Let's see how they handle post-AO.

 

[joeri888]

Great to see. I'm going on Friday both day and night to all quarterfinals. Hope the big guns stay in it till then. At least would like to see Murray, Delpo, Tsonga, Haas, Dimitrov and Gasquet

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Youzhny wins this one

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Youzhny wins this one

That's a really good portrait of the Colonel. Thank you very much!

That's cool mate! I hope all the big guns make the qfs for you.

 

[Marius_Hancu]

Raonic seems to have retired from it ...
Pospisil out of Memphis ...
let's see after a week

 

[underground]

Don't think Delpo can even get past Monfils due to his wrist injury, but you never knew Monfils might run out of gas this week...

Think Murray will lose to Tsonga.

If Berdych doesn't fold up like a headcase he can win this tournament.

 

[West Coast Ace]

Good field of players.

+1. Very nice field. King Richard knows how to get the players.

I voted for Murray. But even he could meet a hot serving Cilic or Tsonga.

 

[Team10]

Wow, Brands loses in last round of qualies, didn't expect that.

First round matches to start tomorrow.

 

[ricki]

Tomas beats The Mug in the final

Why do you call him The Mug?

Who's 'The Mug?'

This is a good draw! Looking forward to watching this event.

 

[Lukhas]

Tsonga has lost the first set against... Mayer? EDIT: And I can't find a stream. Oh well. EDIT2: Ah, here's one.

 

[Lukhas]

And Tsonga wins the second 6-3, breaking and immediately serving for it. EDIT: And he breaks in the second set, 2-1. EDIT2: And 6-1 in the final set.

 

[Team10]

I can't find a good stream either, oh well. Only have live scores and Kohly took the first set on Stakhovsky 6-2, hope he wins.

 

[spinovic]

Dimitrov over Gasquet

 

[Fiercer]

Some nice resilience from Dimitrov, down 0-2 against Tursunov and then up 5-2, to serve for the set.

 

[beast of mallorca]

^ Not for long. Crazy Tursunov just grabbed the 2nd set

 

[jones101]

“Rafa picking his asses for 30 sec and you wouldn’t say a word.” - Dimitrov

 

[FreeBird]

Dimitrov's defense. :shock:

 

[Fiercer]

Gotta say, not bad from Tursunov, fending off that match point, 38 hits. :O

Dimitrov takes it though.

 

[PhrygianDominant]

Big Ups for Sijsling and his all court play against Youhzny...

earned another fan!


LOL,
I accidentally posted this in the memphis thread....but....better late than never!

 

[ricki]

Why do you call him The Mug?

well, hes ugly with weird shaped head, he likes jokes about other's moms... Nothing personal

 

[djokovicisananimal]

Del Potro vs Monfils could be a cracker:twisted:

 

[Alex78]

Haas beats Verdasco after coming back from a break down in the third set. Nice run could see him advance to the semis, maybe. But then he really needs some rest for his old bones...

 

[FreeBird]

Choker. :lol:

 

[pound cat]

Choker. :lol:

The commentator described the match as being scrappy and erratic. In other words both players played poorly. I agree.

 

[Lukhas]

DelPotro/Monfils isn't a night session, and there only a few people watching the match. EDIT: DelPotro's FH is here, but he's moving quite stiffly.

many kids are there and making so much noise...
Should be a night match.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Allez MONFILS

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

good stream http://live.drakulastream.eu/static/popups/2005151125358030.html

 

[kimguroo]

Too bad that This game might be decided by overcoming distractions.

 

[T-Noone]

The ATP site isn't working for me...have Del Potro and Monfils started?

 

[Lukhas]

Not a really good match so far. Even if I should be used by now, DelPotro's ability to tee off the FH is quite impressive.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Break Potro

 

[romeo8880]

Not watching just following the stats...monfils serving terrible!

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Set Potro

 

[Terenigma]

Monfils doesnt seem to be making Delpo move much, thats clearly his weakness today. His movement is far from perfect, he needs to run him around the court if he wants to stand a chance here, Delpo is too strong when he can just relax and wind up a FH

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Set Points missed, maybe Monfils can rally from behind

 

[Lukhas]

Set Potro

You're sure about that one? :lol:

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Monfils breaks back !!! 5/5

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

You're sure about that one? :lol:

Successful jinxing :twisted:

 

[kimguroo]

Not a really good match so far. Even if I should be used by now, DelPotro's ability to tee off the FH is quite impressive.

Seems like both players can't concentrate because of noise levels.
Often broke rhythms by high noise.
I thought this game might be very intense game but too much distractions.
Plus espn3 has a problem with 30 seconds audio delay.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

YEEEES what a defense from Monfils! 4/2 in the tie break

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

double fault monfils

 

[Lukhas]

At the end of the set, I'm going to take a nap; quite boring. Someone gives us funky Monfils back. He'd loose, but at least I'd have fun.
