Great playing by Andy! He is having a great year to get his best result at RG ever!

Roddick/Haas rematch now. I think it'll be close with some great serving and lots of winners.

I'm very impressed by Andy, he's really looking good. Unfortunate for him that there's a good chance he'll run into Monfils in the next round; though you never know, he might come through that too.

Well first we have Roddick vs Melzer/Monfils and Haas vs Federer/PHM so I don't think that's going to happen.;)

Anyone know what happened to Ferrer. He totally lost it at the end of the match, smashed his racket into the net post and refused to shake the umpires hand.

...I beleive he was simply dissappointed - there were no apparent argues or so. It was an unnecessary ending of a good game where I think _both_ players played well...

But, it _could_ have been some frustration from David in that it took forever for the trainer to get to the court at 6-5 in the last set - Ferrer had to wait a loooooong time to serve for 6-6. Robin then got a chance to rest a little. But so did David, and he held his serve immediately after the loooong pause...so I see no reason to blame the umpire?

Well, anyway, Ferrer is a fantastic clay courter, and I am looking forward to se him play live in Båstad in 5-6 weeks! :)

Jo takes the first set vs Rochus 6-2 ^^

he made me laugh in his interview when asked about the match too

Q. Christophe Rochus for the next round. He's not a specialist of clay, but he is a specialist of French players.

JO‑WILFRIEDTSONGA: Yeah. Well, we'll see. I have specialized in Belgian players myself.


heh

hahaha that's very funny from Jo.It's nice to have a player with such a personality and besides Roddick is getting old,we need a successor!

The scheduling didn't work out so well today! There are four men's matches on at one time and I really want to see three of them.

the schedule sucks today yeah!Before I couldn't find a match to watch and now I can't decide which one!:mad:

But at least Monfils is serving for the match now and Andreev is about to be sent home

Damn you BBC, you refuse to show me the Tsonga match because you deem it one sided, and then tell me you're going to show me Serena play instead?

I agree Seffi, M. Gonzalez has been one of the biggest surprises so far. I never expected him to get this far

For some reason the Djoko match is not being telecast ... the other courts have TV coverage. Don't seem to find a stream for this match on Tennis channel too..

Not sure whats going on..

Interesting that in this poll, 6 of the 9 players are already out and 4 of the semifinalists (Robredo, Monfils, Davydenko, and Gonzo) are not even listed.
