After that first set blip Roger is well and truly back and plenty of good highlight points here.

^ To be fair though, some great shots by Granola in set 1 too.

This is great stuff from Roger now. Taking advantage of break points in style instead of squandering them.

Playing great tennis now, he will be facing a slightly better version of Granola in Bautista Agut. Agut has quickly risen the ranks of my least favorite players to watch.

This match is still less than 2 hrs so shouldn't be taking that big a toll

Yeah, no desire to ever watch his matches unless he's playing someone I like. Pusher tennis at its best.

See,Granola has a won a whole match against Dr. Ivo to get here. SO, he must know
a thing or two about returning.

Feds backhand return has been on form this match. Very little chipping and more topspin

Yep, I now call their kind the pushing peasants of the tour. Roger in any kind of decent form will make him look bad, I hope it is a day match because if Roger reaches semis and finals both are during the day.

They keep calling Agut young but he is 26, middle aged for tennis.

Thiem up 6-4, 6-2, 5-3 against Lopez. I'm pleasantly surprised. I thought he would lose today after the Gulbis five setter.
