Yes, there is coverage of Quito on Fox Sports from QF onwards, so Bernie's match on Saturday will be shown. Montepellier is being shown live on tennistv all week.

He was the world no.120 so not a great win but it's a win. Surely he;s here for the money, will probably lose next round.

Roger-Vasselin beat Monfils so plays Millman next so a huge change at an ATP QF for John.

Interesting that Roger-Vasselin goes in slight favourite for this match (in the betting that is). Millman is ranked much higher than him these days (78) but I suppose they are factoring in a home ground advantage for Roger-Vasselin.

I was especially pleased at Cilic losing as I placed a bit on Paire to win the tournament at $15 and he's already into $6 despite not playing a match. Could cash out now for double my investment if I chose to!

Now that I've posted that I bet Mathieu beats him haha

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Could be a big year for Zverev, beat Cilic this morning.

Will be top 50 at the end of the year and then if all is going well push for the top 20 by the end of 2017.

Definitely has the talent to make it near the top if the stars align for him.

 

[Broar]

Dustin Brown doing well here.

I only saw the first set up until Millman had his serve broken - very pleased to see he turned the match around and won! With fourth seed Paire beaten he'd have to be a good chance to get past Mathieu and into the semis you would think.

Has Paul Henri Mathieu next, very good chance at a semi.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Has Paul Henri Mathieu next, very good chance at a semi.

Yep, no seeds left in his side of the draw

 

[Beavis07]

He has a very good chance of reaching the top 50 at some stage over the next few months.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

If he wins his quarter final he'll be right on the edge. Reach the final and he should get in.

 

[Beavis07]

If he wins his quarter final he'll be right on the edge. Reach the final and he should get in.

Yeah and even if he doesn't he is only defending 73 points until mid-July.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Trying desperately to keep a lid on it here, really like this guy and would love to see him do well

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Millman loses in three hard fought sets 6-7 7-5 3-6

Absolutely nothing in the first set with neither player having a break point. Tie-break consisted of several mini breaks with Mathieu getting the crucial one near the end. Mathieu then broke early in the second set (might have been the first game I think) but Millman broke straight back and then broke again at the end to take the set. Third set Mathieu broke mid set and Millman couldn't break back. If the points went to long rallies Millman was winning most of them but Mathieu won a lot of points of his first serve especially early in the match. Oh well, still a great effort by our guy to get to the quarters

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Disappointed that Millman's run is over in France.

For some reason I'm not surprised that Tomic lost in Ecuador. Must have been his inability to play on clay courts effectively.

 

[JackNah_8]

Tomic needs to improve his movement to do well on clay.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Ebden, Millman and Groth are all playing in the Memphis Open next week with Groth and Millman 6th and 7th seeds respectively (sounds impressive!). No. 1 seed is Nishikori. Ebden plays a qualifier, Groth plays Marchenko and Millman plays Krajicek.

 

[vaughany]

What is Tomic's next tournament?

Nice effort from Millman.

This will tell about Tomic's effort.

What is Tomic's next tournament?

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

The Delray Beach Open in the US starting from the week of February 15.

He's been seeded #3 behind Raonic and Anderson.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Mathieu beat Zverev in straight sets and Gasquet ended Brown's run in 3 three sets at Montpellier. Millman the only player to take a set of Mathieu in the tournament so far

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Im pissed I lost money thinking Tomic would tank his first match. But no it had to be his second.


Gasquet v Mathieu final at Montpellier starts in 30 mins
