Pissed I had a good multi of Monaco, Lopez and Kohlschreiber. Kohl wins, Monaco loses 8-6 in the 5th and Lopez loses 10-8 in the 5th.

Looking forward to seeing Grigor Dimitrov tonight. He'll win Wimlbedon one day, I expect he should beat Kunyitsin today at least.

Watched him at Queen's. He needs to find a backhand - tries the Federer one-handed slice™ but has no control over the length whatsoever.

Jelena Dokic's opponent a rare women's player who just does not hit an unforced error. 6 over the first two sets.

One set a piece, will be an interesting to see if Dokic can get up.

Kendrick playing rather well here and taking the second set on a tie break... one set each ....

Murray is so horrendously overrated. Goes straight back into his shell every time he's under pressure and hopes his opponent stops playing well. Kendrick can't keep up his form of the second set all match so he's fine here, but it's still exposed weaknesses in his game.

...perhaps horrendously is a tad harsh...his game is slightly limited(imo only)...

dont think tho that you can get to be seeded number 3 tho and be sooo overated...:)

Think hanging in there is a decent tactic in some situations for Murray given he's one of the fittest guys around at the moment. His defensive game has always been his strongpoint as well.

I don't really fancy him at Wimbledon any time soon (though he could hardly hope for a better chance than this year) I think he's a better chance on the hardcourts

Hes just a kid, he'll improve. Anyone that can beat Berdych, Simon and take a set off Nadal in their first two professional tournaments has ability.

Yeah, bit of a shame he had to withdraw today.

Mind, Berdych has been a bit of a joke in the past year, he lost to Simon (that was the Queen's match I watched. Decidedly unimpressed by both players), and Querrey took a set off Nadal in his first match...look where he's now. :p

With such an obvious, public weakness it's hard to see how he'll win many tour matches, so...well. Would be quite willing to take even money odds that he'll never win Wimbledon.

Someone can dig up this post when it does happen, even its 10 years away, Grigor Dimitrov will win Wimbledon.
