Good luck to Lopez/Lopez. Marc won this tournament in 2012 with Granollers, hope he wins with Feli this year

By the way, who's everyone picking to win this thing? I'm going with Djokovic to step up to the plate and meet the Murray challenge.

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

day one was excellent, esp djoko/theim 1st set.

I'd like to see Muzz winning this tournament but I wouldn't be surprised if Cilic wins

 

[Mastoor]

Djoker will win this.

i didn't catch everything in all their first rounds -- just the quick news recaps -- and so far Nole to me seemed somewhat more refreshed than as of the past few months. i actually thought he looked he GAINED a little weight - at least by the looks of his face.

i was a little worried that he had been a bit too much on the thin side..although he has always been very 'slender' . but i was glad to see that it seemed like - for all the very careful diet and all that due to his career -- WIFE may have put her foot down and told husband..

"eat". and he must obey.

and THAT was the first impression that struck me.

"nole's face looks fuller in the nice way" - i like that.

i think it will be a good challenge (from either side) IF they are the ones that make it.

ANDY surely is high on confidence right now and plays very , very well - we all know, befitting a recent ascendant world number one.

now Nole has to challenge right back - but to me - as i posed - what struck me is how more refreshed NOLE seemed to be ..AND his face looked more like he has been EATING a little more for weight.

i don't know why i got that impression - almost as if his wife has been putting her word in - that career or no -- she's making sure he EATS MORE.

FOR ME -- it is NOLE if they both make it as finalists.

meaning as ''one-on-one" after they do their jobs to finish off the others.

my reason is - over-all in their tennis -- NOLE is QUICKER to the punch than ANDY is,

where BOTH can play very long rallies -- NOLE GRABS the opportunity to go aggressive - not necessarily finisher shot but to grab the control.

and he is also quicker in actually FINISHING off a shot . also he has cultivated a more aggressive net game than andy and andy still hesitates to do that.

we'll see.

GAEL reverted to his ''showman -- indifferent" modes.

Muzz has swept Ciric all over the court, if this last one wants to do better results he will have to improve his forehand but also his torpedos serves which today looked like simples darts. There are still more matches to see

I'm going for murray to win his 1st wtf. I feel Djokovic is still not 100% mentally or even physically. it just feels like murrays time,

today was andy's 800th atp tour match. djoko is nearing 900 matches also.
