All have a chance to win a round there!

John Isner hasn't matched up to his explosive professional start recently. Niland took a set off him last week.

Baker really really really needs to beat Oudesma.

Come on Boggo!

It's ok, Boggo should make the quarters if the injury is better, particularly as this is indoors.

Indoors/grass is probably best surface for him to play Michael Russell on...(they could meet in quarters), Russell has no big weapons, just runs all day and makes no errors. He started 2007 on fire, took Hewitt to five sets in the AO, won two challengers and made rd4 of Indian Wells. He's beaten Berdych, Cilic, Garcia-Lopez, Gicquel, Almagro, this year.

Hopefully it'll be an all-British rd2 tie...Jamie beat Oudsema 4&3 in Hawaii earlier this year. Jamie really needs some wins and this is as good a rd1 match as he could hope for, Oudsema's made a couple of challenger quarters this year but not done much more.

You have to fancy Isner indoors but he's had some surprising defeats since US Open so who knows

ah, so basically a cheating version of an indoor challenger. Hmmmm, Russell will be tough to stop here then, both his challenger titles in the spring were on decoturf

The win against Dabul in the quarters of the USO Juniors in 2001. 




Jamie plays at 1 P.M. local time, so we won't need to stay up late to follow it. 

The match before Jamie's has finished. The website is doing set by set scoring.
