Kuznetsov making Jo-Willie look silly in the early going. He'll probably fold like a bad poker hand, but kid looks good for a qualifier.

What's going on with Roddick? He's down two sets to Mahut in the opening round. Seems like a bunch of seeds are playing shaky first round matches. I guess that's the French Open for you.

Mahut may take another American 11 hours Roddick showing some signs of life now, but I have very little confidence in him. I have him getting to the third round - probably too generous.

Kevin Anderson is tied w/ Machado 6-6 in the 5th. What is ESPN showing? A Delpo match that finished hours ago. I'm not one to trash ESPN, but c'mon.

My bad. I'm watching the tennis channel. They're the dummies. ESPN doesn't have the tennis on right now.

Interesting matches tomorrow:

Querrey vs. Tipsarevic (not sure if Sam actually has a chance here).

Young vs. Dmitrov (Donal Young is an enigma).

Blake vs. Youzhny

Baghdatis vs. Chela (come on, baggy. get your game together).

Nadal vs. Bolelli (just kidding)

I didn't mean to list mostly Americans, but they did seem like some of the more reasonably competitive matches. Though I actually Youzhny will give Blake a pretty good ass whupping.

Also, if you want to bet on Nadal on the first round, you only have to risk 20K to win a hundred bucks.

Donald Young put up a good fight in the first set, lost the tiebreaker, and then just basically quit.

Querrey took the first set, but Tipsy prevailed. Not surprising how that played out. I think Tips is just in better condition for a five setter.

Come on, Gasquet, close this out. Don't you know I have money on you?

Mr. Gasquet: your efforts in winning the third set tiebreaker are greatly appreciated. Thank you, good sir.
