ESPN 360. Lots of coverage. Roddick is looking good. Federer is looking amazing as well. I would like to see Roddick make a run. Watch out for Nadal. He has flattened out his forehand a bit to adjust for the surface. Could be brutal.

My picks are looking good so far.
I need Blake, Roddick, and Gasquet to win today. As well Ancic. The rest should be fine

Verdasco is playing out of his mind all tournument. He'll be a tough out.

He's on fire.
Blake with an early break.
I'm gonna go find a James Blake sig pic.

wow Blake is on fire

That loss to Sampras at LSU must have fired him up

Blake up a set and a break.

Well, my predictions took a hit last night.
Gasquet coasted past Gonzo....for two sets. He lost 12-10 in the fifth in a classic match. I noticed after he won the second set that he looked worn out. I'm not sure if he was battling illness, but he kept sniffing as if to clear his throat. Regardless, it was a gutty performance by both guys, but Gasquet as usual fails to get past the 5th set hump. I think he's got some conditioning issues, physically and mentally.
Now, Nadal coasted past Hass in 3. No shocker. But listen to these numbers...53 winners, and only 8 errors. That's unheard of. I feel like a total arse for not picking him now.

The Gonzo/Gasquet match was a great one. Lots of ups and downs and intensity. I really like both of the players style. Love Gonzo's forehand and Gasquet's angles. Nadal is beastly. Blake is another whose style I like. If he's on and pressing his power, He might take Tsonga. Depends on how Tsonga shows up. He's looked solid so far. This shite is killing my sleeping schedule though!! Could not let Gonzo/Gasquet go!!

juan martin del potro and cilic are going back and forth right now. they're trading breaks in the 3rd set tied up 1 each
Posted on 1/24/09 at 9:21 pm to TulaneTigerFan

federer just dropped his first set of the tournament to berdych 6-4
Posted on 1/24/09 at 11:07 pm to TulaneTigerFan
Fed is getting run so far. When Berdych is on, he's about as talented as anyone in the world
