Baghdatis vs. Monfils, two of the coolest cats in men's tennis. Should be great.

I have no problem with the Cyprus fans singing in-between games, but in-between points can get a bit irritating.

Yeah they ripped off the "Super Fred" chant the Barmy Army sing. Pretty crud.

Monfils with the break, ive backed him at $13's to win the first set 6-4, so games on serve from here would be nice...

 

[Jono]

MONFILS! He is unbelievable to watch. Some of his shots are ridiculously good.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Yes,Game of the tournament so far.Loving Monfils attitude.Not many players would smile after playing such a bad shot,very refreshing

 

[Simon]

fair dinkum Monfils, fair dinkum...

 

[pasag]

Exciting game this.

 

[Jono]

LOL! What a reaction to the Hawkeye challenge from Baghdatis. He went nuts when it was confirmed he hit a 2nd serve ace to get set point. Awesome!

 

[pasag]

Oh dear, hope it's nothing serious.

Monfils looks fine now, absolutely murdering it in the first game of the 4th set.

Courier reckons he threw away the 3rd set on purpose to put off Baghdatis, and put on that he was royally screwed with his injury. Guess we'll see whether a) he's right, and b) if he's right, it proves to be effective.

Monfils is paying $2.25 for anyone interested, firm underdog despite being a set up.

 

[Johnners]

6-0, fair effort i guess

 

[pasag]

Yeah good stuff.

 

[Buddhmaster]

Love Monfils, probs 3rd favourite behind Haas and Nalbandian now.

Great call before the match even begun Simon. You kept telling me all day too

Monfils was superb, and he won the crowd away from Baghdatis into his corner by playing only half a set I reckon. His style is so awesome that you have to love him.

Monfils v Gasquet
Who's gonna predict the winner from that game

I was telling anyone who would listen! Same as Fish against Ljubicic on day 1, but funny when you've been wrong that many times people ignore you

Was at that match, she was wearing a very nice orange. Plus she was playing Smashnova, who has the greatest tennis name ever.
