Wow, Djokovic out 

[Wanderer 1,726]

Wrong Czech won today

 

But I am very happy for Dzumhur! Really inspiring win.

 

And this loss may be good thing for Novak - more time to rest, leaving all the streaks behind.... But he must be concerned... I believe his RG preps didn't start the way he wanted to

Paire is such a mental

He could easily finish in two, with a routine win... What is going in his head is beyond any reason.

 

Jesus, don't know which one to watch... Andy-Benoit is crazy, but Dzumhur-Raonic is really quality match!!! Damir has AMAZING backhand parallel!!! Exciting and quality match indeed

[Wanderer 1,726]

Meh, silly point to lose the match, but nevertheless, Dzumhur has been refreshing addition in Miami and Monte-Carlo!

[dareza 911]

Paire Andy is awful. 

[Wanderer 1,726]

Paire  I pity his fans, that has to be so painful. He had Murray on ropes... 

 

We could have obscure Dzumhur-Paire quarterfinals... Murray struggled a lot against Herbert (he and clay cannot be in the same sentence ) and Paire, and it would be really disappointing for Raonic if he loses tomorrow.

 

I must watch Nadal-Thiem now  Although, I am not sure what to expect, Thiem played two three-setters, definitely peaked too early this season, but Nadal didn't impress me either. 

 

It would be a dream to have semifinals without Djokovic, Murray, Federer and Nadal, I hope Monte-Carlo can deliver

Liechtenstein beat Austria 3-0 in Fed Cup Euro/African Zone Group II  They have to beat Egypt now, regardless of final score to qualify for promotional play-offs where they will face Denmark most likely - and Liechtenstein will be huge favorite in that match!

 

On the other hand, Montenegro with Kovinic in the team failed to qualify even for promotional play-offs...

Promotional play-offs pairs:

 

 vs  

 vs

Luxembourg and Norway should win comfortably...
