Davydenko vs Isner:
2-0, Davydenko up a break.
Young looked really intimidated in the first two games, 2-0 Nadal.
What are u guys watching this match on???
I'm in London, England, it's on sky Sports.
I don't know much about his game, but I do know that Roger asked him to go to Dubai to practice with him last year because he wanted a lefty sparring partner. He was the only one that agreed to go and hit with Roger in 110 degree weather. And Roger Federer asked a bunch of kids too. Most of them thought it was a joke and that it wasn't really Federer, but yeah, that is all I know about Jesse Levine.Jesse Levine just took the 2nd set against Stan 6-4.
I have never see the guy play, only thing I know is he's a lefty and played a little for the Gators.
Anybody with some info on his game?![]()

For a guy who went to Harvard, James Blake may well be the dumbest player on court to ever hold a top 10 ranking. He does not even know the meaning of percentage tennis, his shot selection is mind bogglingly horrendous, and he doesnt have the faintest clue how to construct points.
Gasquet has posted a couple of impressive wins so far --especially the second-round win over Soderling in straight sets. He handled Chela with ease. The court seems to be slow, so I expect a straight-set win over Blake. Blake has never beaten Gasquet, and he'd need a fast surface to get a win. I look for Gasquet to win in straights.
Haven't seen yet who wins the Mathieu-Tsonga match. But I think Gasquet should have the best shot at a win against Tsonga on a slower hardcourt. He has a winning record against both players. So I'm looking for a Gasquet-Nadal quarterfinal match. If Nadal isn't 100 percent, Gasquet could pull the upset. He always seems to take the first set against Nadal and often gets the early break in the second but runs out of gas. Let's hope Nadal's knees are tender.
Even if Gasquet doesn't get past Nadal and make the semis, he is going to pick up some good points this year in Indian Wells. He lost third round last year to Roddick.
Really, the biggest problem Gasquet faced in his draw was Robin Soderling. And he surmounted that hurdle surprisingly easy. I hope Gasquet goes deep into this event.
It's on!! Rafa v Tsonga![]()
Didn't realize Tsonga would play Nadal next round. Thought he would meet Gasquet first.
Well, let's hope Tsonga takes Nadal down. This really could put Gasquet into the semis.
Yeah he has a pretty sweet one hander. Baghdatis always frustrates me watching him. He is making to many errors on his forehand right now.
James Blake was impressive against Moya. The backhand return down the line has become a real weapon. I think James might have one of hes best years yet, he no longer loses to unknowns. Blakes having a solid yr soo far, just the titles that evade him.
I am watching Canas vs. Monaco on StarSports from TVU Player.
What an argument between Canas and the umpire! If only they allowed the umpire, players and spectators see a slow-motion replay... the way we see it on TV, there would not be stupid arguments like that. But I guess the ATP has many more years to grow (smarter).
I'd love to see Kohlschreiber pull another brilliant performance.
