    Ugh, now it's looking like Söderling is going to torch my bracket. He's about to be down 5-1 in the fifth.

    Good thing on Soderling is I think most had him winning his little quarter of the draw there. It was an easy set-up and he blew it. Now it's open for some numb nut to make the 4th round and get crushed by Tsonga.

    Thanks for the updates Eagles, wrote a blog for today, but Willie Bee didn't get around to giving out points so I should get double points tomorrow because I'm planning on writing another blog in an hour so should have rest of entry fee tomorrow.

    I have to admit Mr BeefCake..I was very happy to see you took Cilic..you will lose for sure..but kudos for having the balls and blowing off the contest

    Čilić is certainly a ballsy play. But with how he did in the US Open, a lot of guys are expecting a break out year for him, much like Delpo last year. Of course 'they' expected the same from Murray. Marin seems like a good kid, and is definitely a darkhorse in the tourney, but I'd venture no more so than a more qualified guy like Roddick.

    Yeah..you guys who took Roddick were Ballsy too

    I think Baghdatis will get some where if he can get some rest after blowing a load against Ferrer tonight

    My first round was 42-22 and my second was 21-11, so 53-27 is correct. Funny in the Tennis Channel's tourney, I'm in the top 19% and with you guys, I'm in the bottom half. That's what happens when you're facing 'elite' competition.
