2 very costly backhand errors from gasquet.
as good as that backhand is, I have seen it fold quite a bit over the years when a crucial game is on the line.
he had to win that game.
that may be the match.
Both matches went to the final set. I always enjoy Berdych vs Wawrinka - their USO encounter was one of the best of this year.
Group B looks really tough for everyone. 3 real contenders are in the same group.
In the meantime, Andy's ranking is taking a beating.He's now ranked 4 and if Del Potro goes further then he'll slip to rank 5 I think come new year. Oh well better be healthy than feel sorry.
I hope Wawa can qualify for the semis! Great win over Berdych today.
waw is playing incredible tennis right now.
his power off the ground is off the charts.
and how about his serve? the man can blast serves at 135-138 mph range.
average speed of his strokes was 80 mph today.

I hope he comes back stronger than ever emma. the man played in pain for nearly 18 months.
thank goodness all that is behind him. a bright future awaits.
watching the nadal vs ferru battle.
nadal is serving a little better but I am still not all that impressed with his return game. the returns are falling too short too often.
ferru is going for his shots and just missing a little bit.
nadal is up 3-0 in the 2nd set.
nadal backhand used to be a lot better in the old days. now days it is just a shadow of what it used to be.
2 great returns from ferru but that 2nd serve of nadal is just pathetic.
I mean 80-85 mph 2nd serve for a top player is unacceptable.
nadal continues to have problems with his backhand.
nadal is going to grab this match obviously but he is not playing all that well.
its just that ferru is not playing well today.
nadal gets broken. he went to the net twice in this game and missed both volleys. the man cannot volley.
he usually looks lost to me at the net.
nadal gets it done but hardly a great match from him.
ferru may be running out of gas.
it is very cool for Florian Meier and Tennis Island to contribute to Camelot.
they are good people.
I am happy for melo and dodig. beating the Bryan brothers is not easy.
