Made me think of what would be the longest rally ever played. Came across this article:

Mahut took the second set by playing a fine S&V throughout.

Federer in 4.

Not sure what to make of this, Mahut played really well in the first two sets, took the 2nd one and then Federer breezed through the 3rd, then breaked Mahut in the 4th but got promptly re-breaked and had to break again. His draw has already become very easy after the big names dropping out, next round another opponent who should normally be a walkover, let's see.

french guys playing a great tournament, finally. I'm glad, in my opinion french players are the best ones in terms of technique and talent, all of them.

BTW belgian Goffin 21, is playing a great tournament as well

Look at the reaction of Fognini after the great volley played by Tsonga ^^

I logged just to comment about him.
Has anyone seen Goffin play? Any opinions?
He's quite young to be hanging out in the round of 16 in a major.
Perhaps he's a special player to be observed...

Gasquet is hitting crazy winners against Haas right now, totally dominates.

Haas has clearly given up, Gasquet is hitting winners at will.

6-7, 6-3, 6-0, 6-0 :D

Next round against Murray.

One more set for Seppi and you were right. :shock: Djokovic slipping a lot, Seppi clutch when it mattered (except for serving out the second set, at least he won it in the tie break).

On the women's side Azarenka is out.
