Good serve, good mover, great power off both sides, and hits the ball very heavy. Love his one-handed backhand. He just seems to be a little up and down with his game.

Nico´s home town is very near to where I live and so I have a "little soft spot " for him. Trouble is with him Socal he has little in the way of self-belief... he plays like a deamon until the finishing post is within reach and suddenly he gets the wobbles and then chokes.. He has a great serve, wonderful backhand and is a natural on clay Good temperament....He could do some damage on route but I dont think he will beat Fed and if he does he may get Ferrer and I think little Daveeeeeed will make short work of him.

Almagro's made short work of a potentially troublesome opponent there, good for him. He did very well (as usual) during the South american clay court swing as well.... potential dark horse indeed! Ok!

Gasquet vs. Istomin looks set to go to the wire!

Davydenko an early break up on Haase as well. I kinda thought Haase might win that one; neither are particularly good on clay but Davydenko in particular hasn't looked great since coming back from injury.... Sad

When all was said and done I think Steppie deserved that match.. there were times when Baggy played too many sloppy shots.. far too many unforced errors cost him the match.

However, my picks did not go up in smoke, I won - by one pick. And that was Tsonga! Shocked

Apart from a few exceptions most of the first round matches were drawn out affairs going to three sets. Almagro, Robredo and Cilic amongst others appear to be in good form.

Haddie, that is pretty cool Almagro is from your hometown , I didn't know. I have a soft spot for him as well. He kind of looks like a younger, taller, skinnier version of me. He had Nadal on the ropes last year during one of the clay master's series and just like you said he fell apart in the end.

Yes, I think little David would be a tough opponent, but if Nicholas plays well he could be David and give Roger troubles. I am still sticking with my pick for him to get to the Semis.

Socal he comes from Murcia... I live approx 12 miles away...
I always think Nico is in there with a chance... he did have Rafa running like a hare for most of that match... but I always get the feeling that at the end of the day he doesn´t have the belief he can finish it., This is where David scores... he does believe and never stops believing and if ever a player deserves more success than he gets.. it is Ferrer. I hope your prediction is right... No one would more tickled pink than me.. let me assure you Yahoo

On another note, i'm very impressed with how the Canadian has taken to clay, he seems to have movement that belies the 'big serve' reputation he's developed. OK, he's not Tommy Robredo but he can handle the stuff.

I guess so! That said, he's only faced Gulbis and Llodra so far, who are both obviously top players, but neither excel on clay, especially Llodra. He's likely to face David Ferrer next, and his performance, if not necessarily the likely result, will speak volumes about his potential on clay. Very Happy

Yeah, I tend to agree with Haddie although impressed with Raonic, I think David is going to give him a clay court lessan. From the first time I saw him play I thought he was a real strong contender for future grandslam honors. He is no Ivo Karlovic, big serve yes, but a pretty solid mover, good off the ground especially the forehand and also a very good volleyer. He is a good all around player, it is just hard when you watch him to think of anything other then his monster serve.

Still I think David takes in two tough sets. I look for little David's return and defense, and scrambling ability, to neutralize that power on the slow courts of Monaco.

Verdasco down a set as Robredo finally converts his break point to nick it 6-4. Not a great tournament for Verdasco to lose the first round in, this one, but it's a nasty opponent to have in the 1st round as well!

Nadal is busy being being Nadal, impressive old result for Monfils today, too. Nice to see him back from injury yet again.

At 30-15, Murray produces his third UE of the day when a forehand down the line goes wide, but at 30-30 he produces a remarkable passing shot which Stepanek has no answer to. Stepanek then nets and Andy has the break Yahoo

Well it was getting a bit too easy, so Murray slips to 0-40 down. Fear not though, as he produces a fine drop shot, a well-placed backhand and an ace to save all three BPs. Another forehand winner follows and when Stepanek goes long he has consolidated the break.

Andy played a great match really looked sharp. Lets hope he is back to his best. Although Stepanek is a poor clay courter and over the hill, he still has some ability. And Andy's movement and forehand looked wonderful today.

Let's keep it realistic. He beat a Serve and Volleyer on clay. That's not really giving us any real signs for the future, is it?

A win is a win, though. I bet he's chuffed to finally get that loss streak off his back. Smile

Yeah, he's looked unconvincing so far this year. I think the Davis Cup and Australian Open 2008 was his 'peak' period if you like; he never played like that before and hasn't since, but he is still a top player; look at the clay court season he had last year, won Barcelona, came close in Rome and lost only to the imperious Nadal in Monte Carlo.

This year however he's just looked poor. Brief flashes of brilliance in the Aussie Open aside he's just not cut the mustard, and if that continues in the clay court season, where he did so well last season, then he'll be tumbling down the rankings.

I think Nando has had a niggling foot problem for the last couple of years
He was undecided last year whether to have an operation.
A tricky decision.. foot injuries (I can say with conviction) are notoriously difficult to fully recover from.. he has stuck with it but it shows. Sad I like Nando when he is playing at the top of his game but I fear this might be one he wont get over so easy.

No surprises for Raonic and Ferrer. Decent tournament for Raonic though; breaks the Top 30 now. Smile

Ljubicic and Berdych is a different though, disappointing result for Berdych, he had a good chance to go a decent distance in the tournament with his draw.

Predictions for the rest of the day:

Nadal bt Gasquet in 2
Federer bt Cilic in 2
Monfils bt Gil in 3
Simon bt Murray in 2
Robredo bt Troicki in 2
Melzer bt Almagro in 3

30-30 at 6-2, 5-4 to Nadal against Gasquet. Gasquet had a chance at 15-30 but Nadal powered his way back.

Match point to Nadal............ he takes it. Nadal through the quarters.

Robredo retires injured, even though he was a set up! Sad
