Ok, this is now the 6th try I have made to post this. . .Activeboard what are you doing!

Huge pins into the models of Ferrer and Gasquet

Ferrer vs Clement has appeared on the scoreboard....C'mon Arnaud!

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

Dammit, Arnaud is a break down, *2-4

ALLEZ ARNAUD! You are the title holder, you can't go out to Ferrer!

RobC · All-time great

Ferrer wins the first set

Alors, Arnaud! did you have too much Bouillabaise last night? Time to whistle the Marseillaise to yourself, and repel the Spanish invader! Liberte! Egalite! Fraternite!

RobC · All-time great

Zut Alors! Ferrer is 6-4, 5-4 *30-0......Allez Arnaud, Derniere chance....

merde

6-4 6-4. Ferrer's the highest seed remaining

Nieminin 6-7 7-6 6all, 3 all in TB- Chardy actually served for the match and choked

Allez Jeremy! win the TB!

he didn't.

Sacre bleu, you can't rely on these Frenchmen. Clement and now Chardy have both let us down today.

Here's hoping Gasquet breaks the trend.

Gasquet wins!

Bother!

The updated table is posted here (On britishtennis.net)

So, no- one advances, as 18th/19th scores are waay too high at this altitude. Stepanek and Ancic are now out of action.

Today in Marseilles, Ferrer plays Tim threat Benneteau, but if he wins, will advance high enough that Andy would need to win San Jose to overtake; Gasquet plays another Tim threat Gicquel, but if he wins, is still within Andy's reach should he make the final. Baghdatis plays Saulnier - can Cyril become the latest lowly- ranked Frenchman to cause an upset? Nieminen plays Mahut.

Andy gets the day off today.

Something weird going on in Marseille. Ferrer looks to have won the first set with no trouble, and then just got bagelled by Benneteau in the second

RobC · All-time great

Now Ferrer's down 4-0 in the third?? Either Benneteau's found a sixth gear from no- where or Ferrer's had some of that dodgy Bouillabaise, annd should probably retire before being bagelled again...

RobC · All-time great

It ended 4-6 6-0 6-1. Ferrer's out - that's the top 5 seeds out before the quarter finals. Good news for Andy's ranking chances: he can now overtake Ferrer if he makes the final in San Jose.
