The Draw:

 

[mrzz]

Isn't there a rule somewhere that Benoit Paire cannot be the #1 seed of a tournament?

 

[isabelle]

Birdie finally won a match...

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Surpising that Isner is not playing here (especially considering he did not even go deep in the Masters and this is his hometown tourney). Also, surprising that there are only two seeded Americans, despite there being 16 seeds here.

Murray lost again... wow he must be disappointed because he wanted to have a decent run...

Murray might have lost. But, Tennys won!

Lee Duck-hee is the first deaf tennis player to win a match at ATP level. Congrats to him!

I am honestly looking forward for a mute one.

Sir Andy'll need some time to be in top form again, I remember when Nalby came back after his hip surgery, he lost a lot of times before winning a match

Berdy lost to Krajinovic in 3. He's ranked 101 now...will he get a WC to the USO? Shapo beat Sandgren in straights. Rublev dropped the first set to Ramos Viñolas, which is unlikely to make the Fed fans happy.

Update: Rublev won in the end, but it went 3.

Denis beat Tennys, but Kecmanovic beat Popyrin before that, so the two winners will play next.

Kecmanovic is definitely trending.

Awww the amazing Rublev :heart: B-)

injured Chardy retired

Good thing Shapo is finding some sort of form before the Open. It has been a rough year for him.

I hadn't read about him, so thanks for pointing him out. (At first I wrote "I hadn't heard about him" )

If anyone is interested, you can learn more about him on Wikipedia and the ATP site.
