Oh brother... :roll:
did they change the order of play? I thought nadal was up first.
I think the mark on the clay is a better indicator of where the ball landed than the couple-of-millimetres-margin-of-error hawk-eye anyway
The thing with the plastic lines is that when you clean them with the brush you also take away a bit of the clay that's near them, so the mark can be a bit tricky if it's really close. Anyway, if the quality of the court is high, and I'm sure the MC ones are, refs can easily detect/decide where the ball lands, provided it's not a 10 km/h moon ball that falls right near the line

Don't forget. Djokovic plays doubles later today vs Nestor/Zimonjic, a team ranked #9 in the world.
So far, Djokovic, ranked #522 (with 150 points) has +360 points for having gotten to the semis. This gives him 510 points total and moves him to #207!! An advance of 345 places in the standings.
If Djokovic/Troicki win and get into the finals, they will pick up another +240 points and Djokovic will then have 750 points and will stand #153, an advance in standing of almost 400 places!!! Should be interesting. Of course we will not see it because doubles are never shown, as if nobody cares. Well a few do, and I am sure one of them.

Wow, just when I started to respect Djoko a little he does this absolutely unacceptable act of plagaiarism. That heart belongs to Guga.

He did that already in Serbia after DC match against Australia.
He is a resident of Monaco after all and maybe wanted to show a little appreciation. Nothing bad.
Heh! Couldn't afford the helicopters this year.
