and no place to put it! Tomic already won. What, no MD WC for him! That's a first in the 2011 Slams.  |

Here's a depressing result: Frenchman Josselin Ouanna, whom Brinyi will remember as a member of the Tsonga/Monfils/Montcourt group, lost to an IRISH player. Yes I said IRISH! Bad, bad loss for poor Ouanna, the black sheep of his class.  |

Ouanna has done little but blow as a pro, sad to say. Polansky made his match with the Dutch giant Schoorel closer than I expected, but lost.  Dancin' Frank won easily. Grega Zemlja(SLO) def. Dustin Brown(GER)[7] 6-4 3-6 8-6 but good for Slovenia. Bastian Knittel(GER) def. Alex Bogdanovic(GBR) 7-6(9) 6-3 |

Another easy win for Frank, 1 & 4 over Danai.  "Dave" Stebe, who has been rampant at the Challenger level, is through to the qualifying round. He could perhaps spring an upset against a weak 1R main draw opponent. Harrison also won his match, 3 & 3 over one of the Rockettes. /me squints. Sorry, that would be Laurent Rochette. Go! won again. V.Pospisil looks like he might be in too deep vs ERV. Allez Kenny De Schepper! He leads Ebden 76. |

Stebe def. Harrison 3 & 5. Ryan blew a 4-0 lead in the 2nd. Kenny D takes the second set t-b to level the match. Annoying Aussie The Gucc lost a 11-9 1st set t-b to Annoying Aussie Matosevic. |

Also, Niland is in. But have we all forgotten the Irishman who qualified for AO a couple of years ago -- and won a round or two, IIRC? I certainly have forgotten his name. That's why I can't get too excited about this. Fame is fleeting in sports if you can't back performances up.
