Kyrgios won. Next up (Sir) Andy.

Looking forward to that! Kyrgios has a very good chance there.

Sock had an easy win. Next up Milos. This could be a tougher match for Milos than it looks on paper.

Roger says it is not all about grand slams for him in an interview at Rogers.

Yeah, his realistic goal this year at his age was 5 titles so he's not quite there yet. I'm hoping he wins Cincy. Clearly he's not expecting 2 slams, 2 Masters 1000s and a smaller event as those 5 but he's having a good year so far.

Well, as I said in another thread, Roger is not just in GS drought. He is also in Masters drought.
If he does not win Toronto or Cincy, it would be two years and counting since he won the
last Masters. He messed up the nice chance at MC.

Yesterday, Isner got angry that his match got moved to grandstand from the stadium court
(it was done due to the chaos caused by rain delays). Then, he lost the match. Then, he
got angry and did not show up for the post match presser. I am sure there is a fine for
not doing pressers without a valid excuse (being angry does not count). If he has anger
issues on top of game issues, future does not bode well for the big man.

^ Yup, he made a right mess of MC and that 3rd set TB at Indian Wells was a disaster. He should really have done better and won at least one of those two, hence why I'm only classing it a good year. I had typed very good first and it is compared to last year so far but overall by his standards it's still only good and with much need for improvement. Novak would dearly love to win Cincy and no doubt Roger would love to deprive him of bagging that and holding all the Masters.

In the mean time, Gasquet takes the first set against Popsicle and Monf takes the first against Worm. Young bagels Canadian Dancevic in the second set, after losing the first set to him.

Both the Canadians, Popsicle and Dancevic are quite close to losing now.

Karlovic wins the match by winning the TB in the second and third sets.

Now both the rematches (Gasquet vs. Popsicle and Tomic vs. Karlovic) had opposite results.

Can't say I'm too excited about Andy facing Kyrgios. Mr Murray will need to find some aggression because things probably won't be easy if he allows Nick to control too many of the points.

..and Ivo TBed Tomic out of here...I wonder if Tomic will enter the qualies for Cincy.

He is scheduled to play in the qualies at Cincy along with folks such as
Kyrgios, Thiem and Young.
