What hacks me off is all the "destiny" stuff. All the bleating about he "WILL win such-and-such a tournament 2010" etc etc etc ad nauseam. Puh-lease. Hand me a bucket. Not to mention that kind of talk is a serious disservice to his opponents and shows lack of respect and due credit to all the other hard working players out there. The man himself is far more tolerable to me than those who spout stuff about how it's his destiny to win everything in sight and that somehow EVERY other player on Tour is "arrogant" and "needs to be taught a lesson" (and those are of course some of the milder comments directed towards the so called "GOAT"s rivals by the people who say that sort of thing).

Djokovic gets back to 2 sets all with Rochus.

I was thinking they can't STILL be playing, I mean it's even getting dark up here in Edinburgh but duh roof and lights  !   Going to be a late finish then.

Anyway, Olivier, feel free to win this final set since I haven't got Djoko getting past the last 16.

OK, Olivier, good try.  I'll leave it as planned that Hewitt sees him off in the L16.

And that completes the first day folks.  How was it for you ?

I make it that I got 25 out of 32 which should be better than average anyway but no doubt a bit behind some of those usual crazy first round scorers.

Yes, I was generous enough to imagine Robredo at least getting through one round before Tipsy beat him in Round 2.   But neither appears to have made this  appointment  hmm.gif

I know at one point I had Przysiezny beating Ljubicic, I just can't remember if I 'saw sense' and ended up changing it or not bleh

What a surprise, Flake is a set and a break down. He's really is the crumbliest flakiest player of them all ...

I'm convinced he lost today just to spite me, I picked Haase to win and then changed my mind at the very last minute. evileye.gif

*shakes fist* NANDOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

In other news - I'm back from Wimbledon, people! Spent half the day sat next to Mr Federer. No that is not a joke. Happy with the wins in the matches I saw today. Very impressed with Sashko. Great day. On the downside my feet bled a trail of blood from Gate 1 to Southfields Station and I have horrific blisters.

More later.

I know the feeling. Sometimes though, you have to be strong and tell her straight "stop following me and find your own friends". Maybe sign something for her then she might leave you alone.
