I hear that.

I wouldn't bet on Safin to win a raffle if he were the only ticket-buyer these days.

Meanwhile, well done again to Alex for getting past the jetlag and euphoria long enough to get another win under his belt. Keep the momentum going!

hmm some one else posted 0,3. i wonder which it is?

scoobsuk · Club Coach

0 and 3 over Vacek is a very nice result indeed.

Salmon · Tennis legend

It was 63 60. I am sorry.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

opening witha 6-0 set is a blinder and as he went 4-0 up too it ment he won 10 straight games!! after that he probably stepped down a gear to be honest. proably didnt have the engery to push for a double bagel.

Tsonga couldn't take the jet lag.

SNOBEL WON??? ok if this is the true caus someone is telling me the different....tnx

ATP site says 63 60.

scoobsuk · Club Coach

Either way around, very nice - though 3 and 0 is perhaps better, sounds like he settled in then hit a nice run of form.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

makes more sense 3,0. as he would probably have adjusted during the game to the surafce.

still anyway round its a top start to the week.

tHE REPtILE, who did you bet on? Snobel or Tsonga?

Snobel won for sure. It's up on the ATP.

well, looking at it, would like like the semi's will be moodie/boggo, waske/bloomers.

wouldnt like to predict it after that.

why isn't Cardiff on tenniseurope? Has an american taken over and doesn't know Wales in is Europe?

wow draw really opened up for bloomers now - i imagine tsonga was just a little knackered, having won back-to-back challengers in florida, then mexico.

still respect to him for turning up and not just making up some illness and withdrawing - which lots of players would have done!

v good win for boggo - prob adrenalin getting him through that one! must be a bit of a downer turning up in dreary cardiff after sunning it near LA!

hoping boggo and bloomers can make the semis now! and then you never know... all brit final?! looking bit far ahead though i think!
