[QUOTE="DarkSithLord, post: 152020, Wozniacki both a set down in the Womens draw[/QUOTE]

Lost out in a 2nd set tie break.

Maybe not such a surprise as apparently Wozniacki has lost to Gorges twice on clay before...

Nishikori gets a bye into the 4th round as Becker has pulled out.

Serena stuttering against Friedsam, who is ranked 103rd in the world. Worst I've seen her play since her match against Cornet at Wimbledon last year.

Williams won eventually.

Schiavone beat Kuznestsova in the 3rd longest ever match in the French Open.

Nadal playing pretty well in what is a decent match (Won in straight sets but score was closer than the result suggests)

Djokovic won in straight sets.

Murray 1 set all with Sousa of Portugal who is playing waaay abve his level.

Edged ahead now - just needs to take the 4th set easily..

Tomic really chocked losing a 2 set lead and being 5-2 in the final set before being beaten by Kokkinakis.

Saw the last set of that match, just bonkers, the both of them are just terrific shot-makers, its just they cannot serve for toffee, with it being in double figures the amount of breaks there was in that set if I recall! :D
Tomic really chocked losing a 2 set lead and being 5-2 in the final set before being beaten by Kokkinakis.

Kokkinakis is Andy's playing partner these days isn't he, and he thinks highly of him - good to see him knocking that odious shithead Tomic out.

Murray done enough today, excellent in the first set and the lad raising his game in the second while Murrays form dipped, but the Portuguese couldn't maintain that level and our Andy won easily enough in the end.

Not expecting any real shocks or long matches today on the Men's side except maybe Cuevas v Monfils.

Monfils really struggling here, Cuevas could well win this.

Never does it the easy way Monfils but he's back in this fourth set and the atmosphere is electric - 4 all! :)

Monfils is so much better when he takes the ball early and attacks it. Looks like we're going this match is going the distance now.

Haha, he's never dull is he - 4/1 down and wins the next five games back to back!

Mind you he did that last year against Andy and lost 6/0 in the fifth - lets see what he does here! :D

Exactly, he'd be a real threat in the slams and big tournaments if he was more aggressive, but when he is on it, he is blisteringly good.

He's back again! Got to hand it to him, there is no better player to watch for sheer entertainment than Monfils at RG.

Coric wins again! So, so excited about this kid.

Coric has just got it. I look at Kyle Edmund, very good player he is and think top 50. Kokkinakis and Vesely both look good prospects for the top 20. Thiem gives me the feel of a top tenner. I look at Kyrgios and think top 5 and potential slam winner. I look at Coric and just think next superstar. Honestly, I think he's that good.

My reign as champion is over. Lost far too many early on. Mike had what I thought was the strongest squad at the outset and I can't see anyone topping him really.

I've just noticed that Monfils won today and when i watched some of the game earlier he was 1-2 down in sets and i think 1-4 down in the 4th set, so a fantastic comeback to set up a cracking game match against Federer.

I dunno how I'll get through it all, we have the Scottish Cup Final on up here, Andy will be playing, then the FA Cup Final (go on Villa!!) and then the Copa del Rey Final at night!! :dk:

Looks like I'm losing Petkovic and Begu today (and possibly Goerges too) so not going to be plain sailing.
