I'm sure Fab used his height advantage over Oli.

Safin likened Rochus to another player that usually gives him trouble - France's Fabrice Santoro, who has beaten the big Russian seven out of nine times relying on slices, spins and change of pace. "He has a kind of Santoro game. Because if you start to play his game, he moves you around, he puts you at his pace - slice, dropshots, hitting hard, hitting slow, a lot of variation in his game. So it's pretty difficult to find your rhythm once you start to play his game."

"Battu par Fabrice Santoro lors de leurs trois dernières rencontres en quatre confrontations, Paul-Henri Mathieu a pris cette fois l'ascendant sur son aîné (6-4, 5-7, 6-4). "

"Les Français ont battu en finale la paire autrichienne Julian Knowle et Jürgen Melzer en trois sets 3-6 6-1 11-9. Gasquet et Santoro ont signé un exploit puisqu' ils ont sauvé six balles de match consécutives dans le super tie-break. Menés 9-3, ils ont alignés huit points."

"Sauver six balles de match d'affilée, ce doit être une première mondiale compte tenu du nouveau format des doubles", a dit Fabrice Santoro. "On a aligné huit points gagnants avec des volées réflexes, c'était vraiment le court des miracles."
"C'est mon premier titre en double et je m'en souviendrai toute ma vie avec ce scénario. C'est un régal d'évoluer au côté de Fabrice", a déclaré pour sa part Richard Gasquet.

The Gnome breaks a string of 5 straight first round eliminations with a 3 & 2 flummoxing of W.Moodie. Hail, Hail, the Mighty Gnome, the pride of both France and Tahiti!

That 63 62 was fun, but today the Gnome got serious: 61 61.

I think the Gnome must have picked up a lot by playing at the side of the incomparable Ti-Rich!

"Mirnyi is a very inconvenient opponent for me. He plays serve-and-volley but is not that strong from the baseline," Davydenko said. "Santoro plays classical tennis and is a very convenient opponent for me. I hope I will win tomorrow."
"Arrogant bastard!", exclaimed Yi Brin. "Destroy him, Fab!"

Ah, well. So the arrogant bastard won the no-account singles -- but GNOME took the all-important doubles!

"Davydenko, hoping to secure a place in next month's season-ending Masters Cup in Shanghai, faces Santoro in a rematch of their Kremlin Cup semi-final in Moscow earlier this month when the Russian won in straight sets on his way to claiming his fourth title of the year." Revenge!

18h15 : Incroyable dénouement dans le duel franco-français entre Fabrice Santoro et Julien Benneteau. Dans le troisième set, Santoro, 33 ans, 50e, obtient quatre balles de match à 5-3 sur le service adverse. Sans succès. A son tour, Benneteau, 24 ans, 42e, se procure une occasion d'en finir à 6-5 sur l'engagement de son aîné. En vain. Au tie-break, "Bennet" mène encore 5-1, puis 6-3. Mais il conclut finalement 7 points à 5. Vainqueur 5/7, 6/3, 7/6(5) en 2h44, le quart de finaliste de Roland-Garros passe pour la première fois un tour à Bercy.
