And I quickly fall to the bottom of the table as Simon continues his good run by defeating Gicquel!!

It continues to look most encouraging for me, which is just as well, since I have 2 daughters to beat this time. I have the first 4 right, and Monaco is a set and a break up on Hrbaty, so that's looking good for 5. Andreev is a set up on Tursonov, and even Dammit has started with a break. So it has started incredibly well (downhill from here, then). I am, however, concerned about Clement/Mr Hingis, since Stepanek took the 2nd in a tie break.

Anybody know what's happened to Andreev/Tursonov? Live score is stuck ...

Ho hum. Clement defeated Stepanek, making me an unheard of 6 out of 6 thus far. Stepanek is in real trouble now - he was defending 350 points and will plummet in the rankings down into the 50s.

Still nothing that I can find on Andreev/Tursonov, but there is another (doubles) match on that court on the tournament website live score. Presumably one or the other retired (it was 6-2, 1-0 to Andreev at the time).

[Later Edit] livescore.com say that Tursanov retired]

Why do I keep giving Gaudio chances?

I though Gasquet was finally due to throw a game away this week. He has, after all, been trying to lose games from winning positions since the clay court season started.

GC77 · County player

Ally, I was with you on that one, I thought Gasquet would lose early for once but he was way too consistent for Gaudio

Chela has broken Canas first game of their match

GC77 · County player

Ok, I need to leave live scores for a while, but I'll be back with an update in a couple of hours

AllyB · Improver

Oh dear, I've got Canas too.

I though Chela looked tired on Saturday against Gonzo!

AnnuverScotinExile · Social player

Thanks for those, Guy. I know this is not a BT vs AM, but I note that the top 7 all normally represent AM.com ...

AnnuverScotinExile · Social player

I gave up on Chela since he failed to beat Gonzo last week, thus handing the individual prize in that pick'em to a BT.commer. So, naturally, he is stuffing Canas. What do I know about this game! I was hoping that I might have opened up a bit of a gap - some dodgy matches on court for the rest of the day make me much less optimistic.

Edit: Must have refreshed at the wrong time!

Ginepri has taken the first set against Soderling! My 100% record is about to go, since I have two players on court that are a set down, one of whom, from LS at least, does not look to be trying all that hard.
