The coal-writer - or cabbage-writer, possibly - is back at 1-1, btw.

Looking a formality from here, but hopefully Haas can hold to get some confidence back into his game.

 

[vogue]

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Fifth. Rog won the fourth double-quick.

Fifth. Rog won the fourth double-quick.

oh ...that was too quick..any way have 15-20 min drive hope it dont finish by that time

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Much better stuff from Haas

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Not much you can do about that.

 

[irfan]

Love how even the sponsors are against Haas.

Must be offputting seeing not only Fed on the other side of the court but also Fed-Ex hoardings everywhere.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Tough loss Tommy.

Hope Monfils gets the win in the quarters.

 

[Jono]

Stick a fork in him, his career is done.

Will never forgive you.

Missed two amazing nights of tennis in a row due to no Foxtel. Starting to regret not having it for the first time in over a year.

.. I picked a bad time to go for a break....but glad to see Federer thru..not playing at his best tho...still hoping for Murray to win the French...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Kohlschreiber chokes a net point on 4-6 in the breaker. Goes short, gets a half-tricky return, then chunks his volley into the net.

Grunt.

 

[Jono]

Robredo storms home.

Third time in a row Kohlschreiber loses after a huge upset win in a Grand Slam.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Will never forgive you.

I'm not losing sleep.

 

[Jono]

You should

Mind you, Tommy's last 2 sets were woeful. As much as Roger lifted, its like Tommy just fell to pieces after he didn't convert the break point he had at 4-4.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Roddick can't win every point on serve, so Monfils takes it 6-4 6-2. 12 aces from the Guadeloupe/Martinique man.

Amongst the theatrics of the Mens' draw Stosur's achievement has been overshadowed. The first Australian woman to reach the last 8 in 21 years and she has a real chance of making the Semi Final. Wonderful for her career.
