This Hantuchova-Safina match is among the worst I have ever seen. Ever.

Also, Robbie Kendrick

is in quite a fight against Monfils. I would love to see him get the upset.

And now he’s in quite the choke. Really looked afraid to win this thing up 2-1 in the fifth.

Stosur d. Vesnina was the best match of the day thus far for me in terms of quality. But for the most part it’s been some pretty scratchy stuff so far.

Nice win for Taylor Dent

I really think he can beat Soderling

Also, I hate players who quit once they get down 2 sets; Marchenko, Berrer. One of the great things about tennis is that the score repeatedly starts over and there is no clock so you always have a chance

We shall see

I’d like to see him take out Le Sod, but I’m not feeling it.

And Hewitt breaks to take the 3rd set

He really grinded the set out, he is fightin’
