I'm currently watching the final set of Gasquet vs Haas.I think Gasquet's a really talented player but just doesn't seem to have the mentality to win a major.He should have finished Haas off by now but just let that 4th set slip away.

FANTASTIC back hand! I agree, he has never really had the mentality to finish off big big matches, look at the Murray match at wimbledon.. he completely let go of the match near the end. I wouldn't mind Haas causing the latest upset he's had decent results this year

Aye, he just seems to fall apart under the pressure.I cannot remember which tournament it was but he started to fall behind and just quit, said he wasn't feeling well but I cannot say I fully believed that.

Haas is closing in on the win now, just broke Gasquet's serve.

Pretty straight forward results on day 2, most seeds through only exceptions; Gasquet, Kiefer, Berdych (very annoyed about this) for men and Razzano and Hantuchova for the women

Hmmmm Murray... its 2 sets in and he doesn't look too great - but I'm sure he will come back in the 3rd!

Absolutely ****ED off, cannot believe people paid to go see that abysmal performance from Ivanovic. She is definately not worthy of no.1 position in the world and she will definately lose it after the US Open - and deservedly so! Ridiculous!

She was shockingly rubbish and was at wimbledon. The woman has lost her spark.

Ana has lost her spark! not the women, ANA! she cannot cope with the pressure of being no.1 she just cannot be consistent..

Good to see Murray through despite a bit of a sloppy performance.

Just done watching Monfils vs Korolev, pretty entertaining match.I've not seen too much of Monfils in the past but he seems a pretty fun guy to watch.

Korolev is Kournikova's cousin. Random fact of the day!
