CRochus def. Johansson in 5. Still quite a good effort from a blind man! Blind? But yeah, not bad. In Hamburg he was awful. Poor Ljubicic who had to play doubles with him. He took it lightly though.

I actually feel sorry for Nadia I do too, vaivita. But I'm glad that Akiko was the beneficiary of Nadya's woes. Akiko hasn't done diddly lately, so it's HUGE for her.

Mathieu Montcourt def. Marcos Daniel, 6-2, 6-4, 1-6, 6-2 On balance this is a pretty good day! Think how good it'd be if Hewitt could be sent packing! I feel bad for Roddick, though.

"Roddick told the trainer he had aggravated his injury late in the second set and was unsure whether to keep playing on the heavily taped ankle. "What do you think?" he said. "Do you think it's dangerous?" The trainer said no, but Roddick decided to quit. He walked off Court Suzanne Lenglen to a mix of hoots, whistles and applause."

Monfils drew jeers from center-court fans in the fourth set when he argued at length about a line call.
"You know you're acting up a little bit when your own crowd is booing you," Murray said.
Monfils attributed his argumentative mood to nerves.
"When you're a bit tense, you really have this habit of wanting to be sure that the call was right," he said. "This was nothing against Andy. It's just because I was very tense. I wanted to be reassured. I hope he didn't mind. If he did, I'm sorry."

Petrova injured a muscle in her left leg in practice and said she couldn't get a good push off it. She limped around the court, called upon the doctor and even stopped sitting down at the changeovers between games. The 69-ranked Japanese veteran strung her around the court and showed very quick hands. Petrova, who reached the 2005 semifinals, was devastated. "It's a new injury I've never experienced," she said. "I couldn't move and felt slow and it was affecting me in the head. Morigami played her best, but there is no excuse for me not winning the match. "I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to this. I've had really good results here. It was really unfortunate what happened to me. It was bad luck."

"THIRD SET TO GONZALEZ! An increasingly frustrated Safin slams his racquet into the ground before netting a simple volley to hand the third set 6-3 to Gonzalez! The Chilean now within a set of the second round!"

So much for Safin's 100% physical condition and mental focus. Yes Lundgren, I'm talking to you. Find another pupil before it's too late!

At least Marat didn't fully go crazy and tank like he did at times in Rome.
Looks like he's gained a little man boobage, though. Not good. But, I hate him now, anyway. So, whatever.
Go Ivo.

Safin didn't go to his press conference, so he will get the requisite fine.
