Day 1 was a nice sunny day, with almost all matches completed. The results were overall good for my favorites. Let me recap.
Ana Ivanovic vs. Rossana de los Rios - too early in the day for me to catch at home, but the highlights suggest that she looked solid. Ajde!
Novak Djokovic vs. Michael Berrer - also missed somewhat because I wasn't home yet, but also because Hewitt and Haase went to a fifth set. Supposedly fell asleep in the 2nd set or something. Igraj bolje, Novake!
Svetlana Kuznetsova vs. Mathilde Johansson - Sveta didn't do so great at Eastbourne and I'm worried about her. I don't think she's winning this slam, but at least she loses to people with good mental strength. But she can do better, I believe it!
Michael Llodra vs. Mario Ancic - Retirement from Llodra, but according to MTF Mario looked in good shape. Aim for the match against Ferrer! Ajmo Mario!
Marat Safin vs. Fabio Fognini - I caught the third set, where Fabio probably played more and Marat couldn't hold his serve for some reason. But he won that set in a tiebreak and gets to play Novak next. So sorry Marat, I want you to lose in the next round... Though with the way you played today I don't have to work my voodoo.
Amelie Mauresmo vs. Ashley Harkleroad - I caught the first set of this. Her serve looks awful - maybe because of the thigh injury? - but her strokes were fine. Please get confidence, Amelie! I know you love this surface - you can do it! Allez!
Chris Guccione vs. Gael Monfils - didn't happen because Gael pulled out with a shoulder injury. Poor Gael. Seriously if he didn't get injured so much he could actually do something... Gael's replacement beat Guccione by the way.
Now for Day 2! Most of my faves are playing early (first match on) so I'll be up nice and early. Of course, Andy Murray and Jelena and Lindsay have to be late so I won't catch them. If those three don't win I will be disappointed. Anyway...
Fabrice Santoro vs. Andy Murray
Richard Gasquet vs. Mardy Fish
Olga Savchuk vs. Jelena Jankovic
Anne Keothavang vs. Vania King
Renata Voracova vs. Lindsay Davenport
Eduoard Roger-Vasselin vs. Marin Cilic
Yung-Jan Chan vs. Dinara Safina
Viktor Troicki vs. Nicolas Lapentti
*I forgot Maria Kirilenko yesterday, but I'm not surprised she lost. She spends too much time on the clay in my opinion...
