Smith got Anderson so wont be winning that one. Kokkiankis got Krajinovic. Give him a decent shot at winning that.

glad to see Tomic actually giving a toss outside Wimbledon and the AO.

Just saw the 'highlights' of the Karlovic/Thanasi match. Was a pretty bad standard

It is Karlovic what do you expect! Serve, serve, serve! There is never much tennis involved. Effective but meh.

6-1 6-3 loss to a 19 year old Japanese guy playing only his third main draw tour-level match.
Marinko was shocking.

No surprise, said it before he is average/above average, Marinko is solid don't get me wrong but he doesn't have much to hurt the other bloke, FH is OK, BH is OK, serve is average. Nothing really special. The quicker Kokkanakis comes through the better, among others obviously.
Nishioka is a pretty handy youngster. If he was a bit taller than he would probably be one the most talented teenagers coming through the ranks atm. Fantastic backhand, but his serve will never be a strength. Matosevic looked great against Isner but I wouldn't be shocked if his mind was on another thing today.
Tomic through to the semis with a 6-1 6-3 win. Sets up a rematch with Young.

Tomic was up a set and had 2 breakpoints to go up and serve for the match in the 2nd, before losing in 3 again to Young.
Fognini just beat Nadal in the semis in Rio with an amazing get on match point.

Whatever happens with Tomic this year, you can almost consider 2015 a failure for him with two losses to Young.
That match point is absurd from Fognini, his quarterfinal match will go down as one of the most bizarre matches of 2015, such a troll. Rafa looked like he was having issues with his groin. Ferrer to play Fognini there.

Enjoyed seeing Nadal lose. Had a huge sad at the umpire for a time violation, whinging saying that he doesn't want him to ever umpire another one of his matches. He thinks he's bigger than the game.
Is this the year when Nadal starts to significantly decline? I know his results pre-European clay season can be patchy, but losing to Fognini on clay? If his level doesn't pick up substantially, what will Djokovic or even Nishikori do to him? Alarm bells must be ringing already.
Also happy that Dubai is starting this week. Probably my favourite ATP500 event.

Kokkinakis takes out Alejandro Falla to qualify for Acapulco. Nice win. He'll play either Nishikori, Giraldo, Lajovic or Young.
He got Lajovic. The best of the spots IMO.

Whenever I see Fabio Fognini play, it looks like he doesn't give a s**t.
Also, Nadal is now No. 4 with Murray overlapping him.

Yep tend to agree. He didn't have his best clay court season in 2014 (by his standards anyway) and still went on to win the French. Let's see how he does this clay court season before writing him off. In saying that, there are signs that his movement is not what it once was.
Not easy first round matches for the Aussies.
