Mahut what! Big John strikes again with 10-8 in the 5th set. What Nalbandian's plan lacked in logic it achieved in audacity; he was dropping Isner in order to lob (!) the 6'10" player. Incredible that this strategy was very effective (until set point in the 4th). There was also an awful call by the chair at break point 8-8 in the 5th. And he disallowed Nalbandian's challenge. WTF! "Can you be that stupid to do that in that moment? What the umpires need? Press? Name? Be on the picture tomorrow? Incredible."
How could BJI have enough left in the tank for the next round against "Deliciano" Lopez? I don't see it happening, but apparently it will just be serve-on-serve; more tie-breaks.
The internet may be blacked out today to demonstrate protest of piracy laws, but I'm still here for ya.
Americans Fish (#8) and D.Young bowed out with poor performances. Maybe Sam Querry can pull out a good win versus Aussie Tomic. Or maybe the aTomic kittens are too much to withstand. {Ed. yes, the kittens march on.}
Great news for Nadal fans. He played well against veteran Tommy Haas, with his wrapped knee not seeming to bother.
It has come to my attention that Lendl sawdust comments may have been off the radar of some. Do click to the videotape.
Federer took the harrowing walkover in stride. His opponent knew he had no chance so why risk further injury. It's a wise decision to "take", as the Euros say. On to round 3 with Fed Fan left with nothing to Tivo.
Not much else to report other than US Open champion and Aussie Sam Stosur sent packing in the very first round.
