• CD,
  
  Can you a Health and Beauty section on my board?
  
  Sometimes I find interesting information that we can heed, research, and pass on to our friends.

• who the hell is Jordan Thompson? he has snatched the first 2 sets against jerzy.
  
  
  
  PCB vs benneteau battle will be decided in the 5th set.
  
  rosol vs robredo encounter will also be decided in the 5th set.

• nole wins his 22nd straight match in a row.
  
  other heavyweights are in action today:
  
  federer, andy, and rafa will get their campaigns going.
  
  
  and how about jerzy. he comes back from a 2 set deficit:
  
  
  After trailing two sets to love, Poland’s 20th seed Jerzy Janowicz fought through three hours and 16 minutes on Hisense Arena to overcome Australian 19-year-old wild card Jordan Thompson 1-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-1, advancing to a second-round encounter with Spaniard Pablo Andujar.

  I have never seen a draw this tough.
  
  they are all playing quite well.
  
  nole is at his highest level ever.
  
  roger and andy are back.
  
  del potro says he can be #3 in the world so he is confident and playing well.
  
  this is madness: how can all the toughest players end up in clay warrior's 1/2?
  
  

  
  Andy is not back in the same way and Federer is not a trouble for Nadal - we all know that. If DP makes and can stay fresh, then he can be trouble but you'd expect that at the stage of the tournament anyway.
  
  And Nadal did have an easy draw just at the 2013 USO. It opened up even more for him in the later rounds.

• it is incredible how many players are at this slam that are 30 or over.
  
  
  31 year old robredo removed lukas rosol from the facilities. davydenko must be 80 years old by now. he is still in it:

• Yo, are you going to wake up early to watch Rafa/Tomic? Or do you need to stay up? Not sure about your timezone.

• I may have to try to take a little nap if possible when I get back from the Imperial Palace tonight.
  
  
  I definitely want to catch this match and see where Rafa's form is.
