San Jose will be in a seperate entry due to the time difference to it and the other two tourney's this week.
Sadly, Gonzo did lose his match against Andreev and, by the looks of it...it wasn't much of a battle. Clay isn't Gonzo's strength but still knowing that this is the last few notes of his swan song...would be great if he went out on a high note.
And Mikhail Youzhny vs Igor Kunitsyn receives the award for most ridiculous scoreline of the day yesterday. Those kind of matches just really aggravate me. Pet peeve I guess one could say.
And then to top that off...Mischa pulled out before his R16 vs Federer because of foot problems.
Still trying to wrap my head around how Mirnyi & Nestor could lose in straights on an Indoor court...
