Thank ****. Barely scratching his way back to form. Edmund looks better at the moment.

 

[Niall]

Murray made hard work of that, however he v Del Potro is always a match up to look forward to.

Kyrigos gone, from all accounts was a model pro all game

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Dimitrov continues on the road to nowhere.

schwartzman giving nole a fight...

I can see Nadal winning this tournament without once being taken even to a 7-5 set. Now that would be something.

Its been so easy so far hasn't it? Agut is a decent player but on clay over 5 he needs a miracle. Then Raonic on his worst surface in the quarters? Life is good for Rafa.

Tomorrow looks a fun day of tennis, Murray v Del Potro, Gasman v Monfils, Chung v Kei and Wawrinka v Fognini. Plenty of good stuff on the girls side also.

i don't think he can do that to either djokovic or even murray/stan if he faces them...it is certainly possible with the rest of the field...in other news, margaret court is a such a goddawful bitch...

Terrible. Hope Serena breaks her record ASAP.

People talking about "freedom of speech" etc. to defend her terrible opinions.. last time I checked, freedom of speech doesn't include the right to have stadiums named after you. Especially when you are actively in favour of trying to deny groups of people their fundamental rights and equality. Rather have the stadium named after Lleyton Hewitt than her.

 

[OverratedSanity]

She's done a good job of playing the victim too.

For some reason I had Radwanska at 6 seed, she is 9th.

This is looking quite close but Morgie and Vimes only have 5 players knocked out while I have 6.

Raonic vs Carreno Busta, Murray vs Del Potro are some important matches coming up.

 

[Niall]

Very entertaining first set with Del Potro and Murray.

 

[Howe_zat]

This seems more like a quarter final match than 3rd round. Why is Del Potro seeded so low?

Skipped Australia this year and plays a limited schedule.

(Also because of his low ranking he tends to run into big players early so doesn't pick up points at lower tournaments)

Injuries, basically. Had to miss two years because of injuries, and since coming back he's not played a full schedule because of his fitness.

Excellent win for Murray.

Wawrinka seems to turn into a different player during Grand Slams.

All this rain...you would think you were in England not France...

 

[vogue]

One set all for Wozniacki-Kuznetsova. Wouldn't like to call it . Have to say Wozniacki wearing the better sportswear.

 

[vogue]

She goes through easily though . Takes third set quite easily. Been a few years since she got past this round in the French.

 

[vcs]

Rafa pulverising Bautista Agut. He's probably dropped around 10 games in 12 sets of tennis.

^ the cricket is a bit more exciting atm....
