Has Gublis stopped playing the doubles and enjoying himself?

Andy could win if the right Andy wins. Dell boy could smash a few people aside n make last 4.,An Fed can't rule him out until he is a,risky out

While having a match point in the tie break, Berdych netted a piss easy volley that would've likely won him the match. He actually had two more MP's but Isner served them away and converted his very first one.

Gulbis is gonna get creamed by Haas.

Jack Sock wins first round!

Hopefully he started developing. Great upside.

I watched the last 1.5 sets of Sock, he looks pretty solid all of a sudden. Won't challenge the top 10 guys just yet, but I think he's got more upside than Harrison. Smarter, more relaxed player with a better all court game.

Yeah, Sock impressed me last year in his match with Roddick .... haven't heard much about him since. He does seem to have more of the "it" factor than any other American atm - he seems to be a better big match player. And didn't he win the mixed last year with Oudin? It's only mixed, but it's still impressive for his experience level.

Same match that got me sold on his potential too...

He has got the case of "playing down to opponent level". Same thing Gulbis suffers from. :lol:

He spent his time this year in challengers and qualifying...close matches against Isner, Giraldo, Harrison.

He needs a good win or two. Toaday's win is a great start, highest ranked player he ever won so far. A win against a top 10 guy should help him tremendously.

He's got a very good looking draw. I could see him reaching the 4th round.

Andreev hits like a truck. Sick serve and forehand.

His ball toss is really something. Bit into his back, looks like's he's about to kick and then just hammers it away.
