I'm in accord with almost all that, though without actually looking at the draw. But I'd way prefer Bobby Reynolds to Wrap up Penthouse. And I don't give a hoot for the Brit A-Bog; he should retire along with the US version.

I'm starting the day on 8, where my hero Jan Hernych is facing R.Ghedin, a 24yo Roman ranked 242. Currently 1-2, rain delay. My guy is looking to avenge a loss at the hands of Ghedin at the Recanati Challenger last month. While I would normally impute this to patriotic line judges. Jan's form has been poor this season. So I am regarding this tilt with some trepidation.

It's great to see Sleepwalker and George Jones both get through. This is a good tournament so far.

P. Polansky! J.Hernych! Frankie! Chase Buchanan is a game away from polishing off Del Bonis, match to be resumed. Likewise for Nishikori.

Wow. Well, this will be an advantage for the more laid-back players, maybe disastrous for the more highly-strung. But the real beneficiaries are those who already got 1 tough match in and get a little break, like whiny Haiku queen Bovina.

K.Kim leads B. Klein 63 The Legend, R.Delgado, lost a first st t-b to Peya. Berankis leads a Colombia he should beat handily 75, so that's on track.

Delgado closes out with a 6-3 third set win, a truly heroic performance.

Klein is the racist Aussie, right? Ugh @ him crawling out from under his rock again. Thankfully not for long.

Yes, that is the Klein in question.
Uladzimir Ignatik(BLR)[29] def. Jordan Cox(USA) 6-7(5) 6-4 6-3
It had slipped my mind that Cox was the Wimby jr runner-up last year (a result that sort of came out of nowhere, truth be told). This year he's been slogging it out on the Futures circuit without a whole lot of success (a title in Korea and a semi in the USA are the high points). He also played the USTA jr hard courts in Kalamazoo (the event whose winner gets the USO main draw wild card), where he lost in the semis to the one and only Jack Sock.
