Whats this about Rusedski? Has he really wound you up so easily LK?

CAS wrote:Rusedski sometimes talks like he knows everything when he makes a lot of errors in his stats, and I feel like he belittles Annabels points when in my opinion she is more knowledgable than him

I am just always fixated by Greg's teeth when he talks so I don't ever really concentrate on what he is saying. He seems to have too many of them and that they are very difficult to manage!

He's like Samson!!

Wow well done James Blake. I had written him off 3 years ago but now the question is asked: Can he beat Raonic? I don't see why not on this form. Possibly his last chance to reach the 2nd week.

Just watched the disgrace that was the Tsonga/Klizan match. The fact Tsonga could not muster a decent return on second serves which were below 90mph highlights how crap Tsonga was. It was almost like a hitting session on clay. Tsonga literally moonballed himself out of the tournament. I have seen some pretty rank performances in my time, not the worst.

Tsonga really is an enigma. His game and mind set has such big peaks and troughs. At his peak he is a match for the best players in the world but that is all too infrequent and at his worst he is awful and liable to implode against anyone as happened yesterday. Pundits were saying he needs to get a top coach but would that really help his mental side?

Tsonga doesn't really play his best in humid weather. Night match player extraordinaire.
