I wonder if Roger has stopped having nightmares about his Paris Indoor match with Monfils?
He will be out for revenge. We'll see if he gets it.
The match I'm most interested in as a fan is Schiavo's, though. Come on, Franny, back to the semis! You can't lose to A-Pav!

I'm liking Roger's chances. He's been efficient and quick in his matches and there's no attention on him. He looks to be in good form.

Point being replayed because a ballkid ran out on court while Troicki was about to hit a smash. Troicki not too happy but the crowd is even worse. Boooooo!

Poor kid. That's the sort of thing I would probably have done, had I been a ball kid.
Mopey is playing like dung, woohoo

Troicki was setting up to play a putaway smash and the ballkid at the net started running out on court, for some reason, and almost ran into him. Troicki made the shot for a winner but the umpire really had to call a let.

I think he ran out because Murray's lob was so short, he didn't expect it to clear the net. Poor kid looked like he was on the verge of tears.
Murray's had the breakpoints but just not converting. He is playing rubbish. Troicki's been very effective with the dropshot, though.

Did the ballkid somehow think the point was over? I can't really envisage that if Troicki was setting up to play a smash

Troicki handled it well too. Got a clarification from the ump and got on with it. The crowd was booing and stuff, but he didn't really throw the bitchfit I thought he might. It hasn't hurt - he got the break and is up 5-2.

I really hope Troicki holds it together. Even if it means Troicki in a major quarterfinal. Mopey is playing like such crap, he doesn't really deserve to be hanging around.

I think he did SEWTA it - serving at 5-3, 30-0 he lost four points in a row, the last two being a backhand into the net and a dropshot attempt into the net.
