Good to see Aisam and Amritraj progressing in the next round.

Decent first set from Murray against Gulbis, must have been up near 90% first serves in

 

[Magrat Garlick]

85, apparently.

González throwing a tantrum against Leonardo Mayer, according to radio - whacking at balls, moaning, talking to himself etc. Mayer appears to be of that rare breed of Argentineans who can actually play off clay.

..and not a bad second set either...serving well still is Murray..

 

[vogue]

and onto the third round,with a rather easy third set taken by Murray...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Pretty clinical stuff from the cheeky, cheery Britisher.

What's happened to Gulbis, btw? He was top 30 last time I looked, now down at 80-odd.

Not won two matches in a row since August. (was 38 then, never been higher)

Think we saw why at 5-5 (iirc) in the second, tbh. Struggles mentally.

 

[Mister Wright]

I'll say it again...Hewitt on fire! Beating top 10 players again is a great sign.

 

[Pratters]

Good to see Hewitt win.

There's the small matter of not beating Roddick since 05 to worry about, tbh.

 

[luffy]

Knew Hewitt would win, tbh.

 

[Simon]

Hopefully Hewitt can make a decent run, a quarters showing is almost a certainty I think.

 

[Burgey]

Roger Rashid onthe Sports breakfast in Sydney had been saying for three days Hewitt would beat Del Potro and do it easily, before making the quarters at least.

Wish I'd had a ton on it tbh.

 

[Jono]

Fair come back from Stosur Looked gone in the 2nd and 3rd set.

Genuinely surprised that Hewitt could beat Del Potro in straight sets. Good on the wanker though, played well.

Haha, does someone want to fill me in on the reasons behind the Hewitt hate?

c'moooooooooooooooooon

 

[Johnners]

c'moooooooooooooooooon

Not to mention the fact that this was likely after the first point in the match which was a double fault from his opponent.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

I think it's more the James Blake incident in Jono's case.

Haha I remember watching that. Was hard to know what to do really whilst watching it. So embarrassing for the country to have such a douche representing us.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Yeah watched that one Youtube a while back. Always thought he came off as a bit of a **** beforehand and that just confirmed it.
