Methinks I have a brilliant idea for Gilly for next year's Monte Carlo talent show...
The Great Boobed Owl survived a second set challenge from Kendrick to get through in straight sets. He's the top seed in Estoril. Scawy.
But the big news was Nalby crashing out to Capdeville, 2 and 2, and now the rumors are flying that he won't be fit for RG. That hip isn't looking good.
