6-0 it is. The Chatrier crowd had better not boo her off court... I missed this match completely as Eurosport don't resume coverage for another half-hour. They didn't boo her. They tried to get behind her as she saved those match points and were about as subdued as she was at her loss. |

Fair enough, Brinyi. I hope she can come back, she's in my top tier of Russians that's for sure. Um, Gasquet - could you try not to give Nadal a walkover into the second week, please?
Gah, the Frog is back on level terms!

Court 7 is a televised court -- we got Henman now. I see... and yet, we only get three courts televised here for today, at least. Ha ha, maybe British Eurosport has been reading MTF too. |

Brad's Brilliant Prediction: Henman won't get out of the third round. I would have disagreed with him before Hamburg, but that last encounter with Chela and the bad call will be some awkward mental baggage to bring into the match here. It's amazing how often they meet, if it does happen here it'll be their third encounter this year. |

I'm surprised British Eurosport didn't buy the coverage from ESPN (I think they put the camera out there, don't quote me on that); in fact I'm downright shocked that I'd get Henman coverage and you don't At least you don't have to listen to Brad "Asshole" Gilbert's inane commentery as you watch it, talking about how the courts are the only reason Henman won as much as he did last year. |

Yes, it must have been those claycourts that were slow and heavy after a day of intermittent showers that helped Henman beat Chela for the loss of ten games in the quarterfinals. Nice analysis, Brad.
But an even better start to the third by Tim!

Behrend levels with C Rochus in sets
Bracciali is pretty much just swinging freely here, especially that forehand. Gasquet's made some bad UEs but hopefully he's starting to settle down as Bracciali makes more UEs in this second set.

YES! Gasquet breaks on the back of some Bracciali errors. The crowd is starting to get behind him big-time.

Henman completely handcuffed by that 92 kmh serve of Brzezicki on breakpoint down, apparently.

I'm off to watch the coverage again now. (I would use the wavey smiley, but my computer won't let me - they're not a valid document, apparently, so my communication potential on this board is now somewhat limited).
