[DueSouth]

Im not from america,but i always thort that miami was really sunny?

 

[TheAeropro]

It is. I rains a lot, but it's not the rain capital. Seattle is definetely the rain capital.

 

[Baghdatis72]

Play has begun at last

Is the tennis channel showing anything?

 

[GRANITECHIEF]

Play is under way and Spadea just handed Ginepri a breadstick.

 

[Nadal_Freak]

How are the courts playing speed and height wise?

 

[oscar_2424]

No, they will start their coverage on saturday.

 

[oscar_2424]

Spadea beat Ginepri in straight sets.

 

[TheAeropro]

Aaaghhhh... I like Ginepri. I think it was two years ago at the US Open that he seemed to breakthrough, but right now, his ranking is floating where it is and he's not making much progress.

 

[GRANITECHIEF]

Spadea beat Ginepri in straight sets.

Straight EASY sets.

 

[GRANITECHIEF]

Querrey = 0/4 on breakpoints, Andreev = 1/1. Andreev serves for set 1. GO SAM!!!

 

[TheAeropro]

QUERRY!!! QUERRY!!! GO! COM'N. I'm pretty much rooting for the hopeful american,

 

[TheAeropro]

Venus is gettin her but kicked.

 

[GRANITECHIEF]

Sam rebounding: 3-0, knows he shoulda won the first.

 

[TheAeropro]

Yeah, Venus comeback too. that'll be big. She's at 3-4 from 0-4

 

[TheAeropro]

Well, Sam rebounded alright. 5-7, 6-2. let's hope he can put it away with authority.

 

[Zaragoza]

Go Sam!

I want him to win and see what is he able to do against Fed

 

[Baghdatis72]

No, they will start their coverage on saturday.

Oh cool thanks

 

[TheAeropro]

Well, now's our chance, cause he won!!!

 

[Starlite]

Wow! Poor Andreev, but good for Sam. Hopefully he can put up a fight against Fed. Something strange I just noticed, Florian Mayer beat Igor Kunitsyn here and 2 wks ago at Indian Wells first round....odd. Bad day for Igors.

 

[Zaragoza]

Delic beat Benneteau 6-4 6-4

This is a surprising result for me. I expected better things from Benneteau after his win over Blake but maybe beating Blake right now isn´t a big thing.

 

[malakas]

Damn Adreev lost! Well at least clay season is near,time to get that ranking up again!;D

 

[TheAeropro]

Wow! Poor Andreev, but good for Sam. Hopefully he can put up a fight against Fed. Something strange I just noticed, Florian Mayer beat Igor Kunitsyn here and 2 wks ago at Indian Wells first round....odd. Bad day for Igors.

Yeah, he destroyed Adreev this Kunitsyn this time, i don't know about the other time.

 

[Fedexeon]

Monfils lost in the 1st round.. This poor boy is getting worse and worse.

 

[The Grand Slam]

Ramirez Hidalgo up 3-1 (on serve) against poor Gaudio. Identical score for Dushevina/Pratt, the former player the one in the lead. Rochus (Christophe) and Santoro on serve, 3-3; Azarenka bageled Tanasugarn... Seppi 4-3 and serving against Tipsarevic. Castano up 3-1 on serve against Gajdosova; Montanes and Clement on serve at 3-3.

gaudio srikes back! 6-5 and serving for the set.
go gato!

 

[diegaa]

1st set to gaudio. its rematch time baby!!

 

[diegaa]

i might have to eat my words. ramirez hidalgo 5-0 on the second. at least gaudio is on serve to avoid a nice bagel.

 

[GRANITECHIEF]

Blake down a break early to FSerra. Not exactly looking awesome.

 

[ja_]

Well he saved you from having to eat them. Wins in 3, 6-3 in the 3rd.

 

[Zaragoza]

Serra takes the 1st set against Blake: 7-6 (10-8 )

 

[Nadal_Freak]

Go Serra. Take down Blake.

 

[Zaragoza]

2nd set Blake 6-2.

3rd set, Serra leads 3-0.

 

[GRANITECHIEF]

Serra in on his way, up 3-0 in the third.

 

[Moose Malloy]

so what do you guys think the over/under is on the total amount of matches blake will win during the clay/grass season? I'd say around 5.

 

[Zaragoza]

Gabashvili breaks Youzhny, 3-1 up. Come on!

 

[diegaa]

Well he saved you from having to eat them. Wins in 3, 6-3 in the 3rd.

im glad, i wasnt that hungry

 

[Tchocky]

so what do you guys think the over/under is on the total amount of matches blake will win during the clay/grass season? I'd say around 5.

James was 4-5 on clay and 5-4 on grass last year. Depending on how many clay/grass tourneys he plays, I'll take the over.

 

[Zaragoza]

It´s over for Blake.

Serra d. Blake 7-6 2-6 6-3

Gabashvili takes the 1st set against Youzhny 6-3

 

[ACE of Hearts]

I am sure Nadal is loving this.Another easy path.

 

[GRANITECHIEF]

Gab up a break in the first game of 2nd set against Youz

 

[Tchocky]

Things looking really good for Nadal. He should have no problem getting to the final. Possible semifinal meeting with Gonzalez or Murray.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Looks like rain has stopped play once again.The weather hasnt been good, back and forth.

 

[TheAeropro]

They are over, I have to go see what happened in the Yuznhy match, but Nadal is extraordinarily comfortable right now. Knowing there is no Blake to stop him, he'll play better than ever, especially if Yuznhy lost.

 

[TheAeropro]

Yeah, Youznhy pulled that one out.

 

[GRANITECHIEF]

Mello in TB with Nadal. Unknown grinder seems to be hanging with him.

Mello starts with mini break.

 

[jaggy]

Nadal finally wins the breaker

 

[GRANITECHIEF]

Rafa saves a couple set points and wins the TB.

 

[GRANITECHIEF]

Tursonov out. Bollelli gets two good scalps in a row.

 

[Nadal_Freak]

Vamos Nadal. Now up a break in the second set.

 

[Zaragoza]

Nadal won 7-6 6-2

He shouldn´t struggle so much against a player like Mello in the 1st set.
I hope he is phisically and mentally ready to make good things in Miami.
O. Rochus is "Mr. Consistency" so I expect many long rallies in this match.
Then Youzhny/Del Potro, both are dangerous.
