Nice win for Sam 6-4 6-1. Casey won in straights while Ash lost. Watching Azarenka/Doi now. Vika is struggling.
While yes I do agree. He won in straight sets today...

First slam win, congrats to the big man. And with that he'll get to experience playing on Ashe as well.

Thought that was pretty weak of Tomic to just give Brown those last 2 points on his serve.

Wouldn't surprise me if he chucked it in if he lost this set.

That match was as expected as a match between Brown and Tomic as you would think. Just two players doing god knows what but Bernie doing it a bit better. He served well though.
Marinko down two sets to love, he's playing ok but falling apart when it gets to 3-3 as he may actually be mentally worse on a tennis court than I am.

Marinko lost the 3rd in a tiebreak 7-4 , good effort.

Played pretty well I thought. Serve and volley started to really disrupt Fed. Just not classy enough in the end but can be proud of the effort.

Yet again Ash loses first round lol....I seriously hope she never gets another wildcard, period. At least she qualified this time.
Anja Tom was okay in patches on her worst surface, stretched CSN to 3 sets, but made too many basic errors in the last set. Better player than Ash.
Azarenka started to look good in the last set, if she gets through the first 3 rounds she will be very dangerous

The Tomic Brown match was entertaining - such an interesting match up

Didn't see the whole match, but Tomic sort of did what he had to do to win, wasn't pretty but he'll have bigger tests in the next few rounds.

I thought Tomic did well to compose himself in the closing stages. He was clearly struggling with his quad/hip/something so looked to close the points out more quickly for a few games, force it to the tiebreaker, then use the energy/pain tolerance he'd conserved to push through it and run hard in the tiebreaker. People with a grudge against Tomic will be quick to criticise him for "tanking" a couple of games in that third set I'm sure, but it was smart. If Brown won that set Bernie was in big trouble; forcing the tiebreaker without exerting himself too much was the right thing to do.

will be interesting to see whether he was being 'tomic' or whether he was genuinely injured. I believe it is the latter. That said he need to stop letting the other bloke know he is injured, that is the worst thing you can do!

I think it was a legitimate injury; when Tomic 'pulls a Bernie' he limps when he does something poor and looks fine when he does something good - he was sore after every point from about mid-way through that third. I think it was just a cramp but even so.

If it is cramp, I have to say this...'is he fit'. You shouldn't be cramping in 3 relatively easy sets in the first round. Has he played enough tennis lately?

He's never been the fittest guy around and he's had a year that's been interrupted pretty severely by hip injury/surgery. Has played a bit of tennis over the past two months but not a whole lot. Brown makes you run a lot too - very strange player. It's not ideal that he cramps within three sets but I don't think it's too much to worry about. Will be better for the run.
