Tomic playing now, lost the first set, winning the second.

Coverage starts at 6.30 tonight.

 

[matt_897]

Tomic winning a match on clay just doesn't seem right but Rosol is just awful...

 

[vaughany]

Coverage starts at 6.30 tonight.

Cool will check it out

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Tomic due to face Djokovic. Its fox time.

 

[vaughany]

Tips for tonight?
Gulbis
Coric
Janowicz
Isner

Just for centre court?

Gulbis
Dolgo
Fognini
Isner

Coric over Dolgo unlikely. Flognini surely a favourite over the Polish madman.

I got upset alerts for Querry over Tsonga and Mayer over Cilic. Both are playing reasonable tennis and paying around $3.60

 

[Chris_2593]

Lol Gulbis loses 1 and love.

 

[vaughany]

Tomic should get the job done over Haider-Maurer. Will that be on tomorrow or Wednesday night?

This Coric v Dolgo contest looks headed for three

 

[Big Tezza]

Dolgo ran away with it in the third.

Fognini destroyed Janowicz too, 6-3, 6-1.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Lol Gulbis loses 1 and love.

1 -8 now for the season. Think he's given up.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Tomic should get the job done over Haider-Maurer.

Not sure about that. Haider-Maurer is favourite.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

What happened to Querry? He withdrew?

 

[Chris_2593]

What happened to Querry? He withdrew?

Didn't fly there after the Houston final.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Istomin got drawn as the lucky loser. Then he retires in qualies so two matches are canned as a result.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Foggy makes me laugh. He just doesn't seem interested then he hits a couple of blinder shots. JJ was awful though and Foggy didn't have to do a lot.

 

[matt_897]

Am curious to see how Tomic goes tonight, on any other surface he would be heavy favourite but here who knows. Also, looking forward to seeing Victor Estrella, great moment for him to play Ferrer on centre court at Monte Carlo.

Is Tomic on tonight? Can't find him listed on the daily schedule

Yeah he's on tonight, just on an outside court.

 

[vaughany]

Yeah he's on tonight, just on an outside court.

Oh yep cool I see him on court nine now

 

[gcsportsfan12]

Tomic loses 7-6 6-7 4-6. He was 2/15 on breakpoints, up 4-2 in the 2nd set tiebreak, had a breakpoint to go up and serve for the match in the 3rd set...but still lost.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Verdasco Dimitrov was a weird game. Lights out for the first 2 sets, then the last set no one wanted to win and the standard went down the toilet. Dimitrov spluttered over the line, just, after having a double break.

He really does have some major choking issues.
