Yo BigNose, when you say "everyone" I hope you are not counting me too. I specifically remember saying that others will have to make the round 4 as well. Having said that, I do want to see the early exit of the following players asap:
1. Nadal 2. Federer 3. Raonic 4. Ferrer 5. Del Potro 6. Berdych
A couple of them unlikely but then again you never know. The uncertainty factor or the wildcard may just kick in at some point of the tournament. Quoting my own post btw. As you can see, 1 down 5 more to go. Del Po is next.

Damn - Golding just lost the 4th set 7-5. Everything just unravelled for him at 5-5, so that's him out.

Birdbrain is out  Gulbis really showed us the kind of player he should be. Am v. impressed with young Golding, lots of potential. Hope fully Andy won't be the only Brit in the spotlight for too much longer. And unlike Andy the young'un appears to love the old limelight, being a child actor 'n all.

Wonderful effort from Golding, so gutted for him. He came so close.
A lot of positives to take from this though, Golding showed a lot of promise today and went toe-to-toe with a top 100 player and didn't look out of place at all.
I've seen enough today to convince me that it won't be too long before Golding is playing in the Slams on a regular basis.

I know I'm paranoid. But am I paranoid enough?

Is Golding the most aggressive player on the planet? Quite impressive, actually.

He reminds of Berdych a bit actually, similar style of play.

He beat Monaco at The Boodles. I can see why.

Yes, Golding has huge serve, huge forehand but seemed OK on the rare occasions he went to the net too. Just lacked match savvy on key points, which will come
