Roger on Lenglen again???

He is number three with a (downward) bullet, you know.

Could be a very good day of tennis.

I think this one is going to come too early for Juan Martin - he'll need to serve extremely well to have any kind of chance.

Shuai Peng has been in good form. Possibilities for the upset against Schiavone? Is 2-2 on the H2H, with Fran winning their last match (close one in Madrid).

And Gasquet vs Bellucci looks finely balanced. Both guys on an upward trajectory. They have not played before.

Yeah, they scheduled the two best matches (possibly) at the same time (possibly) - Djokovic-del Potro and Gasquet-Bellucci

Kafelnikov predicts (from somewhere in Brazil) a del Potro upset. I guess someone had to predict it and he drew the short straw?

High on the sugar cane perhaps? No, I hope it's a great match. Just have a feeling it's going to be a one sided affair.

Dulko is trying to pull of an upset, she's had some success in that area. 3 set points

Don't know if Peng will finish this match. Seems to have coughing/breathing issues - doctor was on checking her pulse etc.

Shame, was a good match. She had been a break up in the first set but then lost 4 games in a row.

Now Schiavone has lost her own momentum and been broken.

She's retired. Good decision - there's no point suffering like that and risking further damage.

The last three games of the Peng-Schiavone match seemed more like a soap opera than an actual match. I hope Peng gets better, but I always hate it when players hold up play coughing and crying, etc. I understand that it's sad, and this might sound a little harsh- but either retire, or get on with it.

Wow; after an early break in the 3rd set it looked like Stosur was in absolute control.
Dulko gathered herself broke back and then went on to win the set and the match.
The only disconcerting part was the announcer on ESPN 3 (I think it was Elise Bergen who has both an irritating voice and an equally irritating style)

Don't quite know what to make of this, but not too surprising


Gisela's brother/coach Alejandro tweeted yesterday that his twins were born yesterday and her towel had their names on it http://forum.talkabouttennis.com/ima...lies/smile.png

Sveta just served up a 1st set bagel to marino
Since Kuzzy is my SP pick; I hope that this doesn't herald a mental collapse

Only five minutes in but Marion is struggling just to win a point.

This could be brutal.

Julia! http://forum.talkabouttennis.com/ima...es/biggrin.png

I think the Safarova scare was the best thing that could have happened to Goerges.

I can watch her play all day. http://forum.talkabouttennis.com/ima...lies/smile.png

I think Roger is liking this role of being under the radar. He may just surprise everyone.

Kuznetsova beat Marino in 49 minutes

Thought tipsy would give fed some trouble. His draw is still pretty tough. wawrinka, ferret and djokovic just to get to the final.
