I just noticed that Dominic Thiem won - good to see. He's rising.

Yeah, Gulbis strained his knee and hamstring and wasn't even moving for balls towards the end so he got a lot of help with the comeback. Still, good to see him taking advantage and playing well. Bit gutted for Ernie though as I could see him challenging top guys more than Thiem.

Wasn't expecting Groth to get broken there. He must be disgusted.

Groth breathed a big sigh of relief there!

And Roger gobbles up the virtual match point.

Definitely like the returning tonight. Aside from a couple really loose service games (big deal of course) Roger has looked really good

Sure did. The returns, lobs, volleys were all great today. A lot of great highlight reel shots from this match.

I thought he may lose the set once he fell behind. Roger had other ideas.

OK, lets go over to WTA and watch the Ladies.

Clearly, someone has hacked Darth's account. I'm looking into it ...

Yeah, hope Lisicki delivers some of those 131mph serves to dispatch the banshee.
