Watched the second set, Sock looked fantastic except for the 5+ double fault game at 5-0. :? I think he could beat Almagro in 3 or 4 if he holds his nerve.

Nice, try to get a Gulbis autograph!


That was an awesome comeback by Venus but at 4-2 she seemed to have given it all and couldn't finish it. I think that might be her last singles Grand Slam as well.

Didn't see the match.....were this double faults because he went for too much or too safe?

Both. He couldn't make a serve from the ad side for 3 tries in a row (I think), and he was going both way long and lame into the net at times... Very weird given how great he was serving the whole match until that point.

Gulbis won the first set!

An in typical Gulbis fashion lost the next 2. And the match. He can NEVER back up a good win.
