I tossed a bit on Tsonga because I can't not at +600 odds after a walkover essentially.

The walkover gets cancelled out by 19-17.

I don't see it that way at all, pros need 2 days to recover from any match, so getting a walkover plus an additional day, I don't care if it was 40-38 he's reset and ready to roll full go.

Get that douchebag, Joe.

First set to Cilic in a tiebreak. Roger is just rolling in his groundstrokes with no depth.

Yeah I saw that, watching Raonic to this point, 6-4 first set to Milos.

I'm rooting for Milos to win this bad boy.

ETA: Fed gets broke, not looking good at all.

Why doesn't Tennis Doubles have more of a following? The few times that I've been able to watch professionals (men or women) play Doubles, it seems like such a more exciting game.

Singles matches are also good and the men's game is fortunate to have so many great players still active. I'm not saying Doubles should be equal to Singles in popularity but feel that it should be closer.

Cilic is Cilicing. Serve bails him out this time though.

I'm not sure if the majors are played normal. But, the other events now play no-ad scoring with a super tiebreaker for the third set. That is all actually a good thing because those events shouldn't be tied down by three hour doubles matches. But, it is a very fluky way to decide things. I think the Bryan Bros went a year or so without winning an event recently, but to me it was no big deal because the doubles game is so random now.

I'm not really sure why doubles is so unpopular. It's always been that way. I loved watching Sock and Pospisil on the outer courts at Indian Wells, especially when you can sit right up front. You can't really appreciate their hand/eye coordination until you see it up close. Admittedly it's kinda boring on TV. Maybe that's part of the reason.

Does this match effectively knock Fed out of the tourney even if he wins?

Is Fed down 2-0 or 2-1?

Nah, Milos would be quick points. I don't think fatigue is much of a factor from grass matches, except for the marathon fifth sets.
