Pretty interesting: During the Del Po/Cilic match just now, they showed Andy Roddick and Fernando Gonzalez warming up for their match against each other...TOGETHER. Never seen that before. It does make sense though, I saw a Gonzalez interview on Tennis Channel where he said Roddick was his favorite player/friend on tour.

Del Po and Cilic just gone in the fifth Set after Potro has won the the fourth.

But I am just watching the Henin Match over Eurosport 1 here in Germany.
The Potro Cilic Match comes on the Eurosport 2 Channel which I can't receive on my TV.

They showed this Match before the Henin Match started on Eurosport 1.

I think regardless of your opinion of Murray it could be a fantastic match up against Nadal, no question the Spaniard is looking back to his besy.

Another let down by Kuznetsova, she played a very negative match even though Petrova was very solid, looks like another up and down year in store for her.

Yeah well, they weren't exactly good in converting breakpoints. Lots of unforced errors too. Was a fun match to watch though, but not top quality.

Wickmayer had setpoints against Henin in 1st set, but lost it in the tiebreak. She's taken a 5-1 lead in the 2nd set though.

Wickmayer looks like a very good player, no clear weaknesses (the serve looks very good) and looks in control of her emotions and what she is trying to do. Henin looks like she is struggling physically though (edit:maybe not, she breaks first game final set).

Also good to see the Chinese Zheng Jie advance, she is a plucky customer and fun to watch, definately gets the most out of her game.

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