nice and stress-free so far.

[Resolute 14]

I think he heard you Girly. Made that last game stressful!

[GirlySports]

yeah but it was 5-1.. this Andujar guy has no serve.

another break!

[Resolute 14]

Three breaks in four service games against Andujar. That'll do, I suppose.

[GirlySports]

these commentators are pretty funny (better than ESPN-anything)

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Milos looks so much better when he goes to the net. He looks awesome so far today, hope he continues to lay the boots to this guy.

Bad news for you Girly... this is pretty much the ESPN3 coverage. That said, I agree. Jeff Tarango is reaching Pierre McGuire levels of creepiness with his infatuation with Raonic.

That being said, it isn't exactly unwarranted. This match isn't even fair.

You're partially right. It's the international/host feed happens to be ESPN for this tournament but I think these guys work independently year round.

[J epworth]

These guys are obsessed with Raonic, if I wasn't a fan of him myself I would be getting so sick of this broadcast, but instead it's just pretty funny.

[Resolute 14]

Aaaand there's the third set break.

Took out the trash!

I'm rather unfamiliar with Tomic.....so forgive the question. Why the hate?

He believes he is gods gift to the earth. All he does is party and drive recklessly and piss off tennis Australia.

Attitude problems, known for being lazy, accused of pretty much throwing his match against Roddick at last year's US Open. Meanwhile his father, who is also his coach, is banned from ATP events for assaulting another player.

Because he's a no talent arrogant piece of trash.

A) he says he'll be better than Milos, when Milos was already in the top 20

B) He's a pusher

C) He's always mocking Federer, even after Federer crushes him in matches.

D) He's quit Davis Cup after Rafter didn't pick him cause he sucks.

E) He's ugly

The fact that you don't know him just proves that he's a nobody.

[GirlySports]

how bout this?

Ben Rothenberg ‏@BenRothenberg
Irony: Dan Evans said that he tried to practice with Tomic in Miami but Bernard's dad rejected him because he "wasn't good enough." #usopen

[Buff]

Nadal makes a lot of money, right?

Then why can't he buy a properly fitted pair of underwear so we don't have to see him adjust his rear and crotch before every serve?!?

[fundmark19]

Monfils is hilarious if only he could stay healthy and be relevant

[GirlySports]

no wonder Monfils always gets hurt.

[GirlySports]

this match just got serious

and The Parisian crowd is very partisan for Monfils

[fundmark19]

I would love to see an isner break down choke job. He has been getting screwed by the ump but it is his own fault for wasting challenges
