Let Fed work while Roddick is rolling through in 3 sets.

Lot of love for Simon despite the fact hes still the 3rd-4th best player out of France; not a world beater.

Hes a really solid player, but Fed shouldnt let a guy like that come back when hes up 2-0 in a major.
Its good for him to be tested early though.


If Falla can do it, so can Simon. Letting him come back was a surprise for sure but it wasn't really a surprise to see Simon competitive.

Hes definitely not a typical 2nd round match, thats a tough draw; but he was still getting rolled.

7th or 8th is his career high...Its just like saying my man crush Tsonga is a top 5 player, love the dude but he isnt.

2-0 against Fed prior to this match.


Hrbaty was 3-1 over Nadal at one point, I dont put a lot of stock in H2H unless guys have played a ton and 1 has completely dominated.

Not all, wouldnt have been suprised at all if it was 4 tight sets, instead of the 2 set down comeback.


not being a dick

Exactly!

Nadal will cruise though.

So will Clijsters.

Fed actually played pretty good despite being taken to 5 sets today....Simone just turned it on at the end of the 2nd and sets 3 and 4. Having a tough match might actually benefit Fed as he gets into the later rounds (well, a/g everyone else other than Nadal).

Isner/Stepanek
Del Potro/Baghdatis

Both of those should be great matches tonight. I want to see how Del Potro looks.

No big names on the women's side tonight, unfortunately.

Huge win for Isner over Stepanek, a guy who I thought could give him trouble because he is such a good returner.

Isner was actually the underdog in this match, but he really dominated it in the end.

Maybe so, but the kid he played, Tomic, seemed like a tool.
