Thanks for posting Nehmeth.
Hard to find an intriguing men's match, but I guess Fed vs. Dog can be interesting if Dog is feeling it.
As well as Thiem vs. Almagro, although I haven't heard anything from Nico in a while.

I saw a little of Nico vs. Julien, and he was playing well. I think he hit the second most aces of his career in that match, if I remember correctly, so he playing pretty well.

 

[Front242]

Yeah, something like 35 aces I believe.

Fed-Dolgo would be fun to watch, but I doubt Dolgo will give Fed much of a challenge.

 

[Carol]

I hope Dolgo gives a hard work to Roger though he has not played too much in the last time due to his health but it could be very interesting, I will cheer for him

Going to watch Pierre-Hugues Herbert play Noah Rubin. That will be my "match to see". Still can't believe Noah took down Paire. Herbert (I think), will play better against Noah than he would have against his fellow countryman.

Not sure how long Nole will stay at the top, but as per herios' encouragement, I am keeping my eyes open for the next generation of players. :snicker

I have to yet see any signs of future GS winners on the horizon, but it seems to me there are more newer faces showing up on the radar than in the last few years.
As far as Rubin is concerned, never seen him play, he is a small guy, so I assume he is quick.
But I hope you know he won the Wimbledon boys title in 2014, so he has some talent that is for sure.
Plus Paire was erratic all his career, that is well known, so while shocking result, and I was disappointed as well in Benoit, I can digest it.
Nole plays the second teenager in a row next, the French WC, Halys.
I am curious to see that match.

So Novak plays a French toilet next? Sounds like it'll be a sh1t match. Pun on WC 100% intended :snicker

Quentin Halys:

Will miss it with work as with all the matches till the weekend. Doh

Fed-Dolgo would be fun to watch, but I doubt Dolgo will give Fed much of a challenge.

Dolgo played well in the Hopman cup, so do not think it will be easy breezy for Roger.

 

[herios]

Raining so only one men match has started on the covered courts, Kei vs. Krajicek

 

[nehmeth]

I do believe the Dolg would be one of my favorite all time players if he could do what he does with any kind of consistency. He's incredible when he's playing up to the level he is capable of.

 

[AnonymousFan]

Fed-Dolgopolov - love the pace of this match.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

It is not Dog's day. Fed up by 2-0.

You find the best (worst) photos of people, haha.

D. Thiem takes Almagro out easily in 3, sets up an interesting 3rd round against Goffin.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Very nice DTL backhand winner from Roger to end the proceedings. He served great today. Dolgo got aced out wide in the deuce court like 97 times.

 

[El Dude]

Thiem vs Goffin is like a battle of youngish future second tier players. Both could be future top 10s, although I think Thiem has a higher ceiling.
