You know, it's really really boring when you top players win so easily and expectedly. I mean, don't you want the drama involved with losing?
No? Ok. Cool.
Not much to report here other than Rafa, Roger, and Muzz were on cruise control today (well, as much as Rafa can be on cruise control), easing their way into easy straight set victories.
Rafa fed The Magician a breadstick and a bagel, Fed beat Mr. Potito 2 and 2, and Muzz bested Montanes 2 and 4.
That said, two seeded Russians fell in three setters. Igor and Dima were both ousted. But in happy news, PEHK is still in!
