Could be Mahut v Isner again..

Serena v. Venus in Round 3 but Venus has to beat that hot Slovakian girl first. Im going to go out on a limb and say that if they do meet, Venus retires from singles after

BTW...i dont think there is any chance Nadal wins this tournament.

any big upsets yet?

@Liu Kang do the french see Gasquet, Monfils and Tsonga as guys who never fulfilled their potentials?

Nishikori, first upset but it was injured.

Gasquet is the one people see like that. Youngest player to ever beat a #1 (Fed at Monte-Carlo) and he beat all precocity records that Santoro set on his way up but he was too emotive and is often seen as a beautiful loser. Experts (from all over the world) really thought he could have been in the top 4 but he never did.
Monfils is the breh who could have been better at what he does but kinda reach his potential regarding his fragility and his tendencies to be unable to focus on tennis.
Tsonga is the breh who fulfilled his potential and can't really do more. Not the most talented, not the most athletic but really strong mental as opposed to the other two. Same for Simon.

Injured since Madrid

does it matter? it's been the same thing for many years now. injured or fatigued or just choking

Well a little at least. If he wasn't injured he would have bodied Nadal. On Clay. At Madrid. Counts a little doesn't it ? And Nishi lost to Nadal last year. Hardly choking.

^ fair enough, but in slams he sucks

Why not? Rome was just what he needed

True. I hope this year he will finally have a good one.

Bennet' in another thriller.

Looking lost out there. All types of unforced errors

EDIT : Bagel in the last set

 

[yoyoyo1]

what a joke.

but that's the difference between the mens and womens game. early rounds the worst ranked women will self-destruct. wawa was a bit off and ggl wasn't making mistakes and giving him opportunities

solid as can be
