Roddick leads Davydenko 3-1 with a break in the first set in this match.

4-1 up now...

...and now 5-3..

Looking forward to seeing what shape Roger is in Sara?

very much so - just highly annoying I have to rely on the scoreboard, and not watch live! At least I'll get the highlights later...

Allez Rog!

A-Rod takes the set 6-3, let's hope Davydenko was deemed to be trying hard.

When are Roddick and Fed due to match up? I may have to work from home! :D

I'd love to know, but they seem to only show what's happening one day in advance... Very frustrating! Maybe I am not looking hard enough on the website though..

3-3 in the 2nd set....

No, I can't see it anywhere - how annoying. I always like to see the master classes Fed puts in against Roddick. Poor old A-Rod, I do admire his tenacity.

5-4 for Davy in 2nd set...

Davydenko takes the second set 6-4

A-Rod takes the match by winning the third set 6-2. Well done Roddick!

Well done Mr. Roddick :clap: :clap: I hope he can somehow step it up against Federer too, just like last year.... but I severely doubt it!

Well judging by the scoreline it looks like Donkey tried. Well done Andy! :ok:

Roger the Dodger a set up (6-3) against Gonzalez....

:clap: :clap: :clap:

Allez Roger!

:yahoo:

this second set is a bit closer...... :unsure:

Gonzo 4-0 up in the tie-break :yikes:

Now 6-0

:angry3: :(2 :yikes: :angry:

well, i expected Gonzo to fall apart as soon as it hit a tie-break.....apparently, i was wrong :argh:

Let's look at the bright side, we have another set to watch!

Federer needs a break too. His concentration completely went in those first 4 points of the TB.

:unsure: ....Its interesting federer never faced a breakpoint in the actual games so far, yet they are a set a piece....Gonzo is hanging on tight....

Whats the score by the way?

I was going to write Fed breaks early in the 2nd (was 0-40 on Gonzo serve) but his FH is a pale copy of what it used to be.

Now I have to reassess that. Fed fails to convert 3 BPs cause he FH is a pale copy of what it used to be!!!

..And while writing this, great point from Gonzo who creates 2 BPs while Fed fails to finish the point with an easy ..guess what ....FH!

Having said that, for the last couple of games, Fed has started going toe to toe with Gonzo's FH and seems to be coming off better when he does. :shrug:

Guys what is the score for the second time asking???? :shrug:

Still no breaks - 2-2 in the third.

Just switched this on to see a very weak FH from Federer illustrating Tenez's point immediately... Will his weakened forehand cost him here?

it's currently 3-2 to Fed, third set

6-3, 6-7 in other sets

Thanks love :kiss2:

Federer with a chance to break at a crucial point here...4-3 up.... but Gonzalez saves it....Deuce...

Gonzo holds.....4-4

Gonzalez is playing the big points well. Some great shotmaking. Could be a tie-break looming....

my husband is watching, and getting frustrated with Fed!

Er...... Fed facing two break points at 5-5 in the third....


...AND HE IS BROKEN!

Gonzalez just nailed 3 huge forehands to break and serve for the match!

:yikes: :yikes: :yikes:

Gonzo has three match points here.....

Fed is turning into a coach. He sends nice balls to his oppoenents and make them look good.

....he double faults on the first...

Im sure I would ber too...
