Most Impressive? Most disappointing? (Page 1 of 2)

Can't really give any answers seeing as how the 1st round hasn't been completed yet, although I think Berdych losing when he was up two sets to love is a major disappointment.

The Gulbis case is pretty simple in my eyes. Tennis is just a hobby for him, but it just so happens that he has a ton of natural talent. He has no heart. Might be because his family is rich, who knows.

Did anyone see Federer beat Tipsarevic?
Roger is looking sharp, sure he is yet to meet one of the big guns but he is playing himself into form at the right time I think, he's a definite chance at this stage.

I think Fabio Fognini and Albert Montanes have both been very impressive in this tournament.  Not only have they been winning, but they've been winning convincingly!  And the best thing is that the two of them will be facing each other in the next round!

After seeing Montanes' DISMANTLING of Youzhny, my money is on him to beat Fognini and make it through to the 2nd week.  An AMAZING result for the journeyman Spaniard.

Pretty disappointing effort from Tsonga today. Up two sets and a break, seemingly cruising to a win. Stan raises his game, and Tsonga can't match. He loses the third set and then just falls flat the next two sets. Also on the disappointment side, Wozniacki. She was destroyed by Hantuchova.

On the most impressive side, definitely have to give a shout out to Hantuchova, Wawrinka for battling back from two sets to love down and my girl, Gisela Dulko.

Stosur killed Dulko in the second set...but I missed most of it.
And how about Gasquet? Apparently he came out of his corner swinging and dispatched Bellucci fairly easily despite the latter's putting up a good fight and winning the third set...
Oh and Delpo! He's taken a set from Djokovic; I really REALLY hope he can close it out tomorrow!!

I wouldn't count on Jankovic...she's one of the biggest (albeit most successful) chokers in the women's top 50. I'd never bet on her for a grand slam; she always gets upset.
Delpo's match made me sad. I was really hoping he'd blast out of the gates this morning but Djokovic kinda one-upped him there, and the rest was history.
Montanes..........whoever picked him is going to rack up the points big time. He's clearly the favorite over Fognini. How many points is it if an unseeded player makes the quarters? It's like 144 right? -headdesk-

Ohhh man Montanes lost out in a classic 5 setter to Fognini I suppose Chela will go on and win now to rub salt in my wound
Oh well im still in with a slim chance I think, here's hoping anyway.

Yes it is true Arvis although it's very debatable whether he deserves to be!
I agree with commentators Fred Stolle and Wally Masur that Fognini should not have been allowed treatment until a change of ends or the game where he cramped was finished, they have 30 seconds between each point and if Fognini couldn't continue without treatment he should've forfeited the points and Montanes declared the winner.
Montanes did have match points and should have still won but Fognini practically gave up and just tried to hit winners, Montanes should have slowed things down a bit, he rushed things when he didn't need to.
The crowd booed Fognini when it finished because they didn't think he should have been allowed treatment halfway through his service game, he was 2 points away from losing the match when he called for treatment, Montanes was not happy about it, neither was I for that matter bcoz I had Albert on my team.....lol!
Djokovic will walk into the semi's now against Fognini!

I was hoping Jankovic could pull off the upset and topple Schiavone, almost but not quite good enough.
You are doing better than me in the women's Adrian, I only have Azarenka and Sharapova left on my team it's my worst result ever so far, I had a feeling the women's draw was going to be tough to predict.
Only real way I can move up the table is if Azarenka wins the whole thing....could happen??

Oops, just saw that Kvitova actually lost to Li Na... >.<
Azarenka or Sharapova v. Schiavone in the finals it is for me then.

Nadal is strong mentally.  He is still the king of clay in my view.  Djokovic is looking very impressive right now though.  Federer is looking impressive now.  Federer would probably like to ruin Djokovic's chances at number one and be counted among the current elite.  Federer could of and probably should have won the French Open at least once against Nadal.  His mental strength is not as good though.  Even though Federer lost in 07 at the French in the final his strokes impressed me more than Nadal's.  Federer throws in too many errors though.

There goes your idea of Kuznetsova
It's just what I figured...she's not there mentally, and Bartoli was motivated and playing in front of a home crowd.
I don't think Azarenka has a great chance of beating Francesca though; Schiavone was having a shaky clay season before the French but it looks like she's found her groove!
