The ATP Singles are two excellent matches on the cards.  

IW 2012 SF saw an upset when Isner beat Djokovic in a third set TB. Can Isner repeat the feat?

Dolgopolov is playing some fantastic tennis, but can he beat the Old Man?

Enjoy!

I stumbled across it. "Dimitrov I think we will see him at the top very soon, and I think that 2014 will be my last year in the circuit." The link's in Italian but Google translate tells me that's part of what he said.

After Tomic's loss today, there will - probably for the first time (?) - be a player younger than him ahead of him in the rankings.  Jiri Vesely will be ahead of Tomic after Miami (and Dominic Thiem possibly also - but he would have to win his next match).

BTW, I just found out that Tomic's 0:6 1:6 loss today was the shortest ever (completed) ATP match at 28 minutes and 20 seconds.

Tomic won 13 points after coming back from injury. Maybe he should step into a challenger next week.

Also grow up, be a man and move away from daddy.
