Hopefully Ferrer loses today, most boring player to watch on the tour

she is very inconsistent, watched her against serena and it was awesome.

as one of the commentators said today, sponsors will be lining up to sign bouchard after this performance

It was also good to see that even though she won, even though the crowd loved her, her Justin Bieber comment still got her boo'd

horrible draw given to the aussies.

bottom half of the draw looks wide open, djoker should cruise to another final at least.

murray's draw looks good too, see how his form is after returning from injury.

nadal looks to have a pretty touch draw actually, plenty of people that could take sets off him early, and that could hurt him in the second week.

djoker to beat murray in the final.

Rafa is flying like the champ he is.
Cant wait to see him destroy Federer or Murray in the semis

Not much he could do about Wawrinka shanking a return that miraculously drops in but the last point was terrible by him

Womens tennis still provides plenty of comedy. How can the World number two lose two sets 6-1 and 6-0?
