Bugger I was hopin Murray would do alright. I reckon Tsonga could cause a few upsets tho.

The UK's contribution to this year's open has finished before the sun goes down on day 1!!! I don't think Tennis is their game.

Correct, the other Brit Jamie Baker also lost to Karlovic. Dellacqua breaks back on Ct 3. Several matches scheduled still to be played due to long matches on Day 1.
