Now this is a LUCKY loser
In the final round of qualifying in Cincy, Julien Benneteau lost to Lukasz Kubot. Kubot earned a first-round matchup against Jose Acususo, which he lost. Even if Kubot had won, he would've drawn Federer in the second round.
But...Benneteau, the only LL in the draw, replaces Del Potro. That is, he gets a bye into the second round, just like DP would've. He'll face Jurgen Melzer for a spot in the third round.
That's lucky.

Benneteau beat Melzer, AND he gets the softest possible draw in the next round, facing Guillermo Garcia Lopez. Lucky indeed.

Broad Street Hockey.
And now he's beaten GGL
Lucky loser beats two unseeded players and lands in the quarters.
Something tells me his luck will run out in the quarters against Murray. Something also tells me that Murray is pretty psyched to face Benneteau instead of Delpo or Verdasco.
Also, cheese.
