Love it when the top seeds fall. Stosur is looking good, but is likely to face Sharapova next round.

I'm looking forward to my boi Jerzy vs. Tsonga.

 

[Jono]

You boy Jerzy was pathetic.

That Monfils vs. Fognini match sounds hilarious.

 

[NUFAN]

Jerzy is happy with a 3rd round French exit. Gives him time to prepare for a 2nd round Wimbledon loss.

 

[Jono]

Fed in choke-mode in that second set. Love me some Gulbis though, what a character.

 

[Jono]

Oh Gulbis you little ripper.

Mind you, Novak's draw to the final just got easier with Fed out.

 

[NUFAN]

Have you had a look at the French draw yet? Who's your tips to be the 8 quarter-finalists?

I'll go:
Nadal
Ferrer
Wawrinka
Gasquet
Bautista-Agut
Gulbis
Nishikori
Djokovic

Nish vs. Klizan is a tough first round match though..

A disappointing 4/8. The only pick that I can be happy about is Gulbis.

 

[Jono]

Oh Ernie Gulbis you beauty.

 

[ripper868]

Your Ernie cost me $40 as the 5th leg of a multi. Plus side is i hedged and put $10 on him at $2.30 so the betting account went up regardless...just not as much as hoped.

 

[Jono]

Kills ya.

 

[NUFAN]

I bet on the Latvian to win the first set, a nice collect to end the day.

I'm looking forward to the Sharapova Bouchard semi.

 

[Jono]

Aren't we all.

 

[NUFAN]

Thought you'd be hoping for a Suarez Navarro v Kuznetsova final actually.

I have an exam tomorrow so I don't plan to watch it LIVE, but Monfils vs Murray should be good, such contrasting styles.

 

[Cabinet96]

Carn David.

 

[Cabinet96]

What a bizarre day.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nice one Murray. Probably lose in semi but he seems back after the back problem now.

 

[Jono]

Such a Monfils move to come back from 2 sets down and win the 3rd and 4th, have the crowd behind him, and then get bagelled in the 5th.

 

[Cabinet96]

So pumped for Sunday. Should be a cracker.

 

[grecian]

So pumped for Sunday. Should be a cracker.

Really? Nadal without breaking sweat. The French is a procession in the ATP.

 

[Cabinet96]

Nah.

Edit: Not sure he's quite due beating Novak again yet. It's only been 9 months.

 

[grecian]

Some of the quality in that first set was incredible, not sure I've seen 'Pova play like that since before the shoulder injury 2009?
