verdasco breaks to even it at 5-5. Verdasco looks to be finding more solid form past couple of games

Verdasco's so dramatic. I smell a 5-setter.

The girl Venus is playing sounds like a Venus/Sharapova hybrid

I had the same thought :lol:

I feel soooo bad for Janko, such a good player and a nice guy. Played so well tonight.

Agreed djarvik... Janko was NOT there at all after the tie-break... :( sad to see but hopefully I don't do the same when I play for real.

that loss will affect janko for awhile i believe. I mean he had an easy smash to take the match but he lets fernando have a play on the ball and he ended up losing

The dutch man Robin Haase is on to the third round, plays roddick

Considering he was playing a guy that's beatin him the past 2 times they played, at least he won... He MUST do better in the next round tho, or I'm changing my vote lol

Anybody thinking about Malisse as a dark horse? He's been having some top notch results as of late.

Considering that he next plays Federer, I'm thinking dead horse.

Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.
