True. Have considered that, and then also considered the fact that for most of that match Tsonga stood there watching Isner's serves whizz past him. So not sure how much that match actually takes out of him compared to a hypothetical 7-5 fifth set match with a lot of long points?

Yeah unless you get Isner/Mahut levels of length given how serve-reliant the two are fatigue might not be as much of a factor.

Still think it'll matter a bit and Gasquet has the edge though. Hope I'm wrong.

yep think you are right. notwithstanding his good record vs. Cilic (other than US open final when he was cooked physically), I agree his play on grass isn't convincing

Today will probably be the best day of tennis for the tournament, lots of closely matched opponents playing each other
Think Gasquet is playing really well and will see away Tsonga... At least one Frenchman to advance though..
Going to keep tabs on the Nishi match today. Think it may be quite entertaining .
Also the Murray match...find Kyrgios interesting..maybe he may give Murray a good battle..who knows?

I'm finding Gasquet/Tsonga, Nishi/Cilic, Radwanska/Cibulkova and Keys/Halep really interesting. Trying to see the value in these (slight favourite is the person I've mentioned first for each match).
Yeah today is a massive day. I've already cleaned on Pavlyuchenkova beating Coco, the odds were terrific. Also got decent money betting on Cibulkova to win the first set.

Rada vs. Cibulkova is always a good contest nowadays.

Man was reading Twitter rumours that Nishi was injured. He is absolutely cooked, can't move. Not sure why he's playing here but if he finishes the first set I win money on Cilic. Please do it!

Cibulkova vs. Rada and Halep vs. Keys is so ****ing entertaining.

Meanwhile Mahut vs. Querrey is roooooof as.

Federer not playing too well but still winning v a very ordinary Johnson. Fedex served fairly well though.

Pretty sure rain has a part to play in all these injuries. Matches one after the other in a slam are tough.

Who was it that said Goffin had a piss weak forehand? Hope they're watching Goffin just dominate Raonic right now. Returning beautifully.

Love Goffin. Just solid as ****.
