The boys were all about showing off their goods today in Cincy. Isner scored a huge win over Haasi, in a tight three setter 76(5) 57 76(3). Really nice win for Halpert.
And Gilly has a two match win streak (what???) with his three set win over Igor. Man, there is a whole lotta lank going on in that wee little body of yours, Mr. Simon.
But the rest of the day saw quite a few surprising results. Gonzo retired after the first set to Big Berd, Fer lost to Garcia-Lopez, Lawnmower took out Sods, and Daveed stopped Not!Mario in straights as well. Add to that list FeLo going down 9-7 in the third set tie break to DoucheStamp, Techno falling to Gooch, and Blah losing to Consumption (ok, maybe that one's not really an "upset") and you have yourself quite the eventful day for the sausages.
