Ausgezeichnet! Jetzt geht's los!

Now that's what I think we ALL agree is a successful week, and still going. I like the actual wins rather than the nearly wins.

4 wins so far. 9 ranking points so far. A bit of cash. Confidence and kudos. And the opportunity to supersize it to at least 18 points or even more if he's playing really well. Excellent.

I think Alex would have a good chance against either player. I'm not sure Odesnik is that comfortable on clay if he gets through.

Odesnik it is - who will step up from edging WR 440 to playing WR 439! LOL

Very happy for Mr Ward. And would be delighted to see him win the next round.

Not sure this is right - Odesnik plays almost exclusively on clay (which I grant is unusual for an American) and has some very handy result on the surface. I think it will be a tough one  to win.

Saying that I would be delighted were he to win (which is what I intended, though I can see the ambiguity!) is not the same as saying I think he will. But I would be delighted!

Sorry that was aimed at an earlier comment about Odesnik being uncomfortable on clay, not at you! I would be delighted if he won too but can't see it.

Ah, apologies. I see what you mean ... and am glad that we're in agreement on both fronts!
