Chung's confidence is at an all-time low.

Gilles Simon is still out there too playing well at 34

Good solid win by Raonic.

And Verdasco too!

[Karl]

Wow PHH does in fact oust Chung.

[dash_pinched]

So Milos plays PHH next.

[Karl]

Get your popcorn ready (if you have the energy ) it's time for the Shapo-Daniel match.

I'm here for the duration (West Coast advantage)

[GirlySports]

Chung is out without even a fight.

Semifinalist last year ranking going to drop into the 50s.

[Karl]

Oh my god go away stupid rain!

[dash_pinched]

Uh oh, the raindrops have returned.

Edit: Play has resumed after a 4 1/2 minute rain delay and Denis wins the opening game.

[Karl]

Ugh not looking good for Kohli. Down 3-1 and a break in the 5th to Sousa.

[Karl]

Shapo not looking sharp so far. And a hilarious miss there.

[Karl]

Rats. Kohlschreiber loses 7-5, 4-6, 7-6, 5-7, 6-4 in a 4 hr 18 min marathon.

[dash_pinched]

Shapo gets the break, serving for the first set up 5-3

[Karl]

LOL at this from Men's Tennis Forum.

Early doors, but both voters who cast a vote chose 'Tennis will lose'.

[dash_pinched]

Tie-break needed to decide set 2. Come on Denis.

[Karl]

Yes! 4 set points for Shapo.

[dash_pinched]

All right, some fine tennis by Shapo in the tie-break to take a two sets to love lead.

[DeluxeMoustache]

That Cornet Venus match is pretty competitive. Cornet just win the second set after 7 or 8 deuces on the third set point
