Watching the Stepanek game this afternoon, He wasnt playing terrific. Almagro basically hit the self destruct button and his temper got to him....and eventually a ball boy.

A winable game for Vasek. He is playing above his ranking right now. Great court coverage

And hugely important for his ranking in that he now not only defends his points for last year he picks up (at least) an additional 45.

Definitely. He's really picking up momentum at the right time.

Pospisil at #64 in the live rankings now.
Peliwo is making a fightback in the 2nd set! If it goes three he can take it. Istomin is very weak mentally.

Rob Kerr doing tennis is very amusing. He's doing the Wozniacki match on the sportsnet online feed

Delpo just pulled of a miraculos 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 victory over Dodig. In between the 2nd and 3rd set, Delp required an injury time out. He was in visable discomfort the entire set. Being broken 3 times and being down 4-1. His serve was suffering from the injury having a first serve speed of about 160km/hr. I am still amazed how he managed to break Dodig 4 times in a set but if the injury is still lingering tomorrow. Milos could have a very winnable game.

would not be surprised if Del Potro withdraws from the tournament today.
