This is going end with a whimper. Shame.

[GirlySports]

Yeah that went downhill in a hurry.

[GirlySports]

pretty cool that in the last 16 on the men's side, there are 5 frenchmen. Unfortunately they will probably all lose in this round.

Sock (USA)

(3) Murray (GBR)

Ugh stop raining! I want to watch some tennis.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I'm really liking Jack Sock's chances to beat Nadal and ruin the big QF with Djokovic. Sock has the kind of game to really frustrate Nadal.

This Federer/Monfils match is entertaining

[GirlySports]

Monfils is super entertaining. There will be shenanigans as it getss dark.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Monf is just wild. After that great set this could easily be a 6-0 set for Fed. So much fun to watch for the total unpredictability.

[GirlySports]

I learned today that Ivanovic is now dating Schweinsteiger.

That is your TMZ report.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Federer comes right out and dispatches Monfils quickly 6-4 and 6-1 to finish it. Maria out to Safarova in straights, the bottom half of the draw is wide open.

[GirlySports]

Serena in trouble again

[Senator Clay Davis]

Sloane played great and Serena was mostly awful and Serena still won. Gotta be demoralizing for other players to know what it takes to beat Serena.

Sock is getting socked. why would I get my hopes up on such a bold prediction?

[Senator Clay Davis]

Jack was just playing rope a dope. Here comes the legendary comeback.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I know Tsonga is French and all, but bumping Federer/Wawrinka to Lenglen is amazing to me. For whatever reason they are starting at 2pm local and only having two matches on Chatrier so it has to be mens/womens to make the time definitely work.

[Senator Clay Davis]

So they might wanna go ahead and finish that roof on Chatrier. A piece of debris from it just was blown off and into the crowd. Doesn't look like any serious injuries. Nishikori badly needed that to compose himself though, he is getting destroyed by Tsonga. Stan up a set on Fed.

Edit: Fed on his way out, the Stanimal is destroying the ball with precision. Virtually unbeatable when he's hitting at this level.

[Mango]

You're so right. When Wawrinka is on, he's on. He looked fantastic against Federer today.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Amazingly, the first time Roger hasn't gotten a single break in a match at a GS since 2002. What a fight from Nishikori too facing multiple break chances with Tsonga 4-4 in the 3rd set, saves them and breaks to force a 4th set.

[polak]

#### you Wawrinka.

[Machiavelli]

Tsonga seems worn out.
