Sorry, I can't edit my message. I meant 7-6, Chela.
Becker is 0-15, with his serve. Chela's BP% is 6/28 :?

Epa! 0-30!

 

[Andres]

Everything from Becker in this game... 2 UE, 3 winners and one service winner.
Becker holds at 30.

Chela to serve 7 all.

 

[Andres]

Nalbandian wins 6-3, 6-4, 6-2
Gasquet defeats Ulihrach 6-3, 6-4, 6-4
Bjorkman won 6-3, 6-1, 6-2 Vicente
Ferrero edged past Hajek 6-7(5), 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 7-5.

 

[Andres]

Chela holds. Becker to serve 7-8

 

[edberg505]

Wow, I just heard James Blake say that Andy Murray screwed Mardy Fish out of being seeded because he didn't pull out earlier. Way to go Andy.

 

[Andres]

Two MP for Chela, on Becker's serve.

 

[grimpi]

Del Potro is a unlucky player. In RG, in first round he played against Nadal.
Now, in second round, with Federeder...

 

[Andres]

Chela wins!
J.I. Chela defeats Benjamin Becker 10-8 in the fifth!
This is Chela's first 5-sets WIN! He was 0-8 prior to this match!

 

[diegaa]

chela wins!!!!!

Del Potro is a unlucky player. In RG, in first round he played against Nadal.
Now, in second round, with Federeder...

ferederer??? LOL.

 

[Deleted member 3771]

awsome , Arthurs coming back from 2sets to serve 4 it in the 5th. His rhythm on serve in the 5th is amazing

 

[Deleted member 3771]

the 36yr old Arthurs takes it in 5th. The other oldie Bjorkman also won 1st round easily.

 

[Zets147]

C'mon Tim!!!

 

[Starlite]

C'mon Tim!!!

I wasn't even sure who to root for in that match, both Tim and Carlos deserve to be in the second round for their effort.

 

[Benhur]

I don't get this at all. The number 2 male player, Nadal, is playing against an American, Mardy Fish, in what looked like a very entertaining match. ESPN doesn't give a damn. They prefer to show a soporiferous match between the number 31 women player, V Williams, against the number 59 player. This sucks!! This decisions are based on what, by who??

I would rather watch Venus then Nadal anyday of the week.

Good for you.

Berdych beats Massú 7-6, 6-4,6-2

 

[Zets147]

Yea, it was a great match. Lots of Willpower.

 

[Zaragoza]

Nadal played a great match beating a big server on grass that could be seeded had Murray pulled out one day before: 6-3 7-6 (4 ) 6-3.
Nadal didn´t lose his serve in the whole match. Good win for him.

 

[Benhur]

That's odd. I didn't know fanaticism for Federer came pre-loaded with such hatred of Nadal that masochistic tendencies are included. I enjoy Nadal's style of play. I also enjoy watching Fed, but not nearly as much -- his sissy hair arrangements are too sissy for me and bother me more than Nadal's thong ticks. But I'll tell you this, I'd rather watch any Federer match three times in a row, with dozens of his sissy self-caresses, than chew the sleeping pill of the Venus vs Whoever match they were showing. Do you like barbiturics?

 

[Zaragoza]

Djokovic started with a bagel vs Starace. Karlovic is struggling vs Santoro (1 set all). Youzhny and Cañas are 2 sets up.

 

[Gingerbread Cookie]

Sorry to change the subject but is anyone watching the Baggy match? Did his opponent get lost on the way?

 

[Moose Malloy]

Santoro up 2 sets to 1 on Karlovic(despite not breaking serve)

Mahut d Clement, plays Gasquet in the 2nd round

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Baghdatis looks like crap, he pisses me off so much.I really feel he has talent.Kuznetsova drops the first set, what in the world is going on.

 

[Zaragoza]

Baghdatis has to defend SF points here, he would fall in the rankings if he loses today. He looked good in the last month so I expected him to reach at least the QF.
Santoro-Karlovic just started a dramatic 5th set. Will Karlovic lose in 1st round for the 3rd consecutive year or will he survive?

 

[Andres]

Cañas wins 7-6, 6-3, 6-1
Kiefer beats Volandri 6-3, 7-6, 6-1
Karlovic is two sets all vs Santoro, 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 6-3 (Idemo Ivo!)

 

[Andres]

Karlovic hasn't been broken so far, and broke Santoro twice. Santoro holds at 30, and Ivo serves, 1-2, in the fifth.

The IBM scoreboard isn't showing the stats for the match

 

[edberg505]

The Gooch is leading Bogdanovic 2 sets to 0. Common GUC. I have you on my fantasy team. You have to produce.

 

[edberg505]

Damn, Soderling smashed Rochus in straights.

Guch is DA bomb!

 

[skip1969]

santoro gets past karlovic 6-4 in the fifth. that's a bit of a surprise. well, maybe not.

 

[Andres]

santoro gets past karlovic 6-4 in the fifth. that's a bit of a surprise. well, maybe not.

 

[Zaragoza]

And Karlovic loses serve for the 1st time...in the last game of the match. Santoro wins 6-4 in the 5th and Karlovic is out in the 1st round for the 3rd consecutive year.
It seems Djokovic-Hewitt could play in the 4th round.

 

[Andres]

Wayne Arthurs comes back from a 0-2 deficit to win 6-7, 6-7, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4

41 ACES!!

 

[Zaragoza]

Wayne Arthurs comes back from a 0-2 deficit to win 6-7, 6-7, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4

41 ACES!!

That was awesome from Arthurs, he lost the first 2 sets 9-7 in the tie-break but he showed mental strength to come back. I think he won in a similar match in the qualies.

 

[Shaolin]

Wayne Arthurs comes back from a 0-2 deficit to win 6-7, 6-7, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4

41 ACES!!

Awesome, with Ivo out you have another player with just a serve to fall back on.

 

[skip1969]

korolev served for the third, but davy breaks back.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Bag man finally getting his game together.

 

[Zaragoza]

Baghdatis came back and leads 2-1 vs Gulbis. I hope he can finish this match today.

 

[skip1969]

marcos takes the third 6-3, and goes up two sets to one. but the real fun must be out on court 19. simon and cilic into a fifth.

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

Wayne Arthurs comes back from a 0-2 deficit to win 6-7, 6-7, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4

41 ACES!!

for the moment, monfils has 32 aces in 3 sets against johansson !
not so bad either...

EDIT
he ended with 34 aces in 3 sets.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

I am curious to see how far Monfils goes.He won the junior wimbledon.I would like to see him make some progress.

 

[skip1969]

davy wins in a tough three sets. and bags looks like he's through.

 

[Andres]

Awesome, with Ivo out you have another player with just a serve to fall back on.

I still have Chris Guccione!

 

[s_andrean]

I'm trying not to be biased here, but who thought the Henman-Moya match was one of the best matches (maybe best?) they've seen this year?

 

[Zaragoza]

Tomorrow Federer will wear his jacket on court no. 1. Roddick and Henman will play on centre court.

That's what i said the minute the match was over. The Best match of the year, so far

 

[Zaragoza]

I'm trying not to be biased here, but who thought the Henman-Moya match was one of the best matches (maybe best?) they've seen this year?

Yes, one of the best. Nadal-Davydenko in Rome and Cañas-Federer in Miami were also some great and epic matches coming to my mind.

 

[Deleted member 3771]

But Arthur's serve is a lot of talent. There's zillions of Guys Arthur's height in the ATP, but not many with such a fluent serve.

Awesome, with Ivo out you have another player with just a serve to fall back on.

 

[Zaragoza]

Gonzalez was leading Falla 3-0 but the Colombian came back winning 5 games in a row and leads 5-3!
