Youzhny - Kyrgios seems to be the match of the day.

^ Anybody besides me rootin' phor the old guy in this one? Or is everyone pullin' phor the up-and-comer/Nadal slayer?

 

[Moxie]

I'd like to see Kyrgios come through, but I think the good Dr. is still on-form, and you like him, so I'm rooting Youzhny.

I am not rooting for either one, but I predict that Mad doctor will win.

Does that mean that you will be rooting for Eph 3 and KA as well Moxie?:snigger

Go Dr. Y!!!! Young Aussie has plenty of time in future.

Who else have I got? :laydownlaughing Actually, I do root for them, partly due to our friend IHY, though F3 has been getting on my nerves of late. But I also default to Italians, and Anderson, well, he just seems a nice guy and plays some good tennis, so I picked them both in my various draw challenges to go rather deep, until they inevitably get stopped. I just hope Fabio's head doesn't stop him before someone's better tennis does.

I'll be rooting for the Dr.

 

[Billie]

Lots of seeds playing on the 1st day: Nole, Stan, Milos, Andy, Tsonga, hopefully Vasek can beat Bolelli.

Indeed.

I know I'll be staying up to watch it. My university essays can wait.

 

[herios]

Definitely rooting for the Doctor. He is one of my favorites still.

[TennisFanatic7]

Come on Andy, wake up eh?

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Murray's potential landmines in the next three rounds will all be on court in a few minutes. Stepanek is 5-3 down in the first set, Tsonga is about to take to court vs Monaco and Verdasco is 2-2 with Rola.

This has been a sloppy set from Andy, serving to take it to a tie break....

Benoit Paire leads Benneteau by two sets to one, potentially the first seeded player to fall?

 

[Riotbeard]

Andy Drops the 3rd 6-1.

 

[tented]

Andy Drops the 3rd 6-1.

uzzled I haven't been watching. What's going on?
