He's getting on a bit now. As is Youzhny.

I guess Tsonga is out. Down a set and a break in the 2nd.

I'm surprised that Tsonga lost - when I looked at the match he was up a break in the first set. But he's had little time to adjust to the Dubai conditions after winning Marseille at the weekend. Delpo won a very close match today against Baghdatis, saving 3 MPs. I wondered why he was hitting so many slice backhands - he says his wrist is hurting him again a bit which isn't good news. |

^ Wonder how well Delpo will do this year. I think he may be a dark horse.

That might just be the case. |

What I am liking about Dubai draw is that Federer has Berdych in his half. And I hope Nole makes it so that he can meet with Nole later.

In fact I stand in good faith of Novak. I might just pick him off Zarfeen and have him for my own in Fantasy League.

Just found out my all time favourite women's tennis player Kim Clijsters is off back to diaper duty come September. Congrats Kimmy, don't let those kids run you wild.

I cried when she retired, and when she destroyed Serena at the 2009 US Open I won't even describe the scream at the TV I produced. |

I remember that match with the Klump - and that's a bit mean. Not a fan of Womens' tennis, but always liked Kim and rooted for her. |

Wimbledon champ Freddie Nielsen is this week playing in the Cardiff futures event with 19yo Brit Josh Ward-Hibbert.
So weird! Nielsen ranked 20 in doubles, but concentrating on singles - ranked 491. In Dubai Tomic retired with "general illness" at 3-2. Tipsy out in straight sets in 1st match, 3rd tournament in a row. Pleased to see Berankis got into Delray Beach main draw as lucky loser. Has beaten Bjorn Phau and plays Jack Sock in 2nd round. |
