Pretty late I know, but I see that people are already discussing today's matches on this thread...

Raonic has withdrawn so Murray is through... Dimitrov has created an upset by defeating Top-ten player Berdych...

Nice article spuranik

Total four votes and all going for a different option...

Thanks, Reckoner.

The most likely is Tomic upsetting Ferrer. Second most likely is Dancevic upsetting Fish.

Considering the form Fish is in, I've chosen Fish. But Dancevic should be able to take this chance I suppose.

And in Ferrer vs Tomic match, I believe it will depend on the court speed. If it is on the slower side, Tomic should just forget it.

The courts are slower and Miami will be humid now.

Chardy and Fish are far apart though and the Chardy match was close.

PS: Thanks for doing the thread.

I went for Tomic too, but why not Muller win over Roddic be considered as an upset? which is the most likely to happen.

I don't think there is going to be an upset in those four matches (she says confidently!)

But looking forward to seeing Harrison take on TMF

Baghdatis seems to be able to trouble Djokovic on hardcourts even when he's had poor tournaments preceding the match up. Basel and Wimbledon matches were very close.

I hope not. Ferrer may not have any big weapons of tennis, but I can give him some points for a good fight. Tomic's tennis is too ugly for my liking. Those endless slices.. ahh

Yeah, I went for Baghdatis - just because that would be massive news...

Muller is decent player, but his game depends too much on his serve. Also lapses in mental focus. I remember he played great against Nadal at wimby to reach 2 tie-break sets and with his serve should have won both. but lost those and folded 0-6 in the 3rd set.

Roddick is not playing anything like what he used to. Will a Muller win be called an upset? Maybe only marginally, especially with the crowd behind A-rod.

Watching Ferrer-Tomic. Can tennis get anymore more ugly?

I can't stand Tomic's game.

Harrison's dropped a set, 1-1 in the second.

Just want to double-ckeck, Does Nole match start at midnight GMT or BST?

Fish came back from 0:3 to win the second set on TB. Quiet poor performance against Dancevic.

Not an exact answer but it is currently 6.15pm in Miami and Djokovic is due to play at 8pm. So I reckon in an hour and three quarters.

Djoko is: Not before 8pm Miami time, plus 4h to GMT = 00:00, so just add 4h to Miami times for GMT.

Ivo/Delpo got on the court. A couple of tall trees.

Come on IVO!!!!

I was confused with clocks going forward (I've already done mine), so basically 1 AM, as the clocks go forward an hour at midnight.

Sure, than from tomorrow 5h difference. Silly summer/winter times.

Both players looked hilarious at the net, not quite knowing what to do with themselves, yet not wanting to look sheepish, so did their bit of "tough" carrying on and jumping about, Delpo cracked me up when he did a Nadal small step sprint to the baseline followed by two right leg hop back-kicks

Delpo does at the coin toss the lovely "shake the booty left & right too"

Miami looks a lot nicer to me than IW (at least on Tennis TV)

Wimby organisers could "sort out" a marquee 1st round match on court 18 again, this time an Isner Ivo clash of the titans would do....

Clocks don't go forward until 1am. So if Djokovic is still on court then it could look like a long match.

Love Delpo's' running forehand down the line.

Are you sure? isn't midnight GMT= 1AM BST ?

Ivo looks like a Professional Hitman from Bulgaria.

Delpo a bit of a spoiled kid/mommies boy face.

(Since it's all serving here)

After watching Isner a lot last week, Ivo looks surprisingly "normal" and coordinated

Even relatively "short"

Wierd how he has the fastest serve ever, and his FH seems powerless, even Djoko's FH seems faster than his

Jahu wrote:Wierd how he has the fastest serve ever, and his FH seems powerless, even Djoko's FH seems faster than his

That is unusual. I'm sure he could whack the ball a bit harder if he wanted to.

Paper says 1am. Googled it as well to check. Used to work with mainframe computers and clocks going back/forward never happened at midnight (1am forward, 2am back). Things may have changed though.

OK, so basically to avoid my kind of confusion 'THE PAPERS' suggest to change time at 1AM GMT. I get it. so basically midnight GMT is still 1 AM BST, and 1AM GMT is 2 AM BST, i.e Nole starts in an hour and 15 minutes

I actually think Karlo has got good hands. His volleys are pretty good and the FH that finished that service game was very well timed.

Yep that's how I see it. Apologies if incorrect.

Officially in UK at GMT 01:00 clock goes to BST 02:00, while most of Europe goes from 2am to 3am.

Last Sunday in March
We add an hour and go onto what is called British Summer Time (BST).

Last Sunday in October
We put our clocks back one hour and adhere to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

I didn't realise Karlo is 33!

I have no doub't about that, watched him since he started tennis, but for the top serving guy ever, one expects a few rockets crosscourt or winners galore.


p.s what a nice net point from Ivo.

Loved the way he flicked that one back over the net without even looking!

Ivo broken 5:6.

I'm going for a little kip before Nole match.

noleisthebest wrote:I didn't realise Karlo is 33!

feet!

Delpo takes it 7:5, 6:4.

Not much of a game.

Baghdat-boy still no racquet sponsor, same blue one as AO. Hope he has enough of them.

One thing I just noticed from last night, the Bondarenko/Hantuchova match had 24 breaks of serve in 32 games. One could probably conclude that the serving was hopeless.

I know the title says ATP, but I'm not going to start a thread just to share that useless stat.

Nole !!!!!!!!

NOLE IS LOOKING REALLY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



P.S.

Fed is going to be mincemeat in that semi....
