BZZZT NOT AN OPTION

[Cro Morgan]

Considering he was the guy who protested a call at RG by snapping a photo with his cell phone - and subsequently fined $2,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct - hard not to like Stakhovsky.

I wonder when players will start 'tweeting' during matches..

'Sitting here w8ing 4 Nadal to serve...OMG hurry up'

[djarvik]

'Just knocked down one of Rafa's bottles on changeover, he looks pissed'

Stakhovsky hit a shot that he believed was in but the umpire called it out. When he and Gasquet changed sides, Stakhovsky grabbed his iPhone and snapped a photo of the spot where he thought the ball landed. He later tweeted it out to his nearly 10,000 followers.

Didn't Tweet it during the match, but it's a start.

These guys can barely play 2 good matches in a row, so Melzer for the win

[Ali-Iqb93]

Yea agreed with moral.. It's gonna be same story as for steevedarcis.. The level of play he just showed against federer, he won't be able to keep it up for the next match.. So I bet he ll be out next round.. I was truly pissed at darcis for withdrawing.. I mean seriously wtf.. Why the hell on earth you beat top guys if you have to pull out of tournament in the next round...

Money and ranking points? Big scalp? Even today people remember George Bastl.

[Murderface84]

I was actually mad about Darcis pulling out, too.

Seemed like a real bitch move. Like he knew there was no way he could top that win, so he quit. Respect gained for slaying Nadal is immediately lost

[Corbon]

I saw his fall and it didn't look serious at all, he didn't even land on his shoulder and there were no signs of pain.

There's this thing called adrenaline. It will mask injuries while the environment is intense enough. That's why Azeranka was able to play on the day of her injury but its effects showed up later. Same with Darcis, and unless he broke something his adrenaline was going to mask any small injury while he was beating nadal, no question about it. And I believe 4 other people won on Monday and didn't even attempt to play on Wednesday.
