    Hello. My Name Is Randy Lu. Goodbye, Mr. Nalbandian.

    WOW.  We have our first big upset of the tournament.

    Taiwan
    Randy Lu came from 2-1 down to beat Nalby in a 5 set match that took 3 hours and 55 minutes.  This is arguably the biggest win in Lu's career.  After all, he did beat Andy Murray in the first round of the Olympics.

    But Nalby was just inexplicable in this one.  He dropped the first set, went on to win the next two, and then started playing fast and loose to virtually give the match to Lu.  All credit to Lu though, he hung in there.  I really thought he would go away after he dropped the third set. 

    Hide the Ding Dongs, Australia.  Fat Dave needs some chocolatey lovin'.
