Tsonga charged back with 5 straight points, before Baghdatis
stopped play temporarily due to a buzzing bee. Tsonga double
faulted after the bee stoppage, but then took the next two
points to even the match at a set each. Then Tsonga saved 5 out
of 5 break points in the final set, while Baghdatis saved 2 of
3, being broken in the 5-5 game, and Jo ended up taking the set
7-5 and the match.

I think Dolgopolov is playing well again. his confidence has to
be a little higher than it was last year.
so my upset special: Dolgopolov over Wawrinka.
the key for Dolgopolov will be returning well. he might be able
to hang in there if he can return well. it will also take some
pressure off his own serve.

Ok, general hercules, we will be watching that match with
interest. Dolgopolov said he struggled yesterday physically. I
think the Miami humidity and heat makes it difficult for him and
his condition. Let's hope he recovers well and is able to play
his best. Spartan Stan will be looking to up his level a bit,
and get himself in better form going into the clay season. But
his primary goal for the rest of the year is Davis Cup.
Here today's Men's Singles Round 16 lineup:
Stadium Start 11:00 am
[16] Tommy Robredo (ESP) v [2] Novak Djokovic (SRB)
Not Before 1:00 pm
[6] Andy Murray (GBR) v [11] Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA)
[5] Roger Federer (SUI) v [9] Richard Gasquet (FRA)
Not Before 9:00 pm
[1] Rafael Nadal (ESP) v [14] Fabio Fognini (ITA)
Grandstand Start 11:00 am
[20] Kei Nishikori (JPN) v [4] David Ferrer (ESP)
Not Before 12:30 pm
[3] Stanislas Wawrinka (SUI) v [22] Alexandr Dolgopolov (UKR)
[12] Milos Raonic (CAN) v [LL] Benjamin Becker (GER)
[10] John Isner (USA) v [7] Tomas Berdych (CZE)
I think the Isner-Berdych match will be the closest match, which
is not surprising given their respective seedings. This could
go either way. Isner leads their head to head on hard courts,
2-1, both wins in the USA, though Berdych leads 3-2 overall. In
another USA hard court match, I'm going to go with Big John
Isner in a slight upset.
Normally, Murray-Tsonga would not be in doubt, as Murray has an
8-1 head to head advantage, but neither player's recent form is
anything to write home about. Murray hasn't beaten a top 20
player since Wimbledon, but I don't think Tsonga has been
playing top 20 tennis. This is Murray's home away from home, he
trains here, I think he will up his level enough to get by
Tsonga, unless Tsonga's form returns out of nowhere.
The way the other favorites have been playing, I can't see any
other upsets. Fognini-Nadal? Fognini has the talent, but not
the consistency. It wouldn't shock me to see Fognini win, but
I don't see it happening.
Unless Djokovic's form has gone off significantly, perhaps due
to only having to play 1 match so far with his walkover, I can't
see Robredo beating him.
Respectfully,
masterclass

fog has to deal with nadal general masterclass.
it is robredo who plays nole. I am not giving nole much of a
chance.
general Tee is giving robredo at least a set.
here is the draw again:

I agree with you. Tsonga's game has been on vacation. and andy
is just trying to find his traction again.
I am favoring andy in 3 in that one.

Oops, yes, I made the correction, thanks General.. I was
thinking of both matches at once and merged them. LOL.
I agree with what you said.
What do you think of Berdych vs Isnahhh?

general I like dr isnaaaaaaaaaaaah in that battle.
dr isnaaaaaaaaaah cant return worth a damn but at least he can
force them into breakers.
I believe dr isnaaaaaaaaaah has the best record in breakers this
year winning 65% of them or better.

Even though Nole hasn't played I don't see Tommy winning. He has
the heart, but not enough weapons to trouble Nole.
Tsonga is too up and down and I really don't remember him having
a big win in a long time. Plus, he's too streaky and makes bad
decisions, at the wrong time, on court. Andy should take it.
Federer should beat Richard the Faint-Hearted. Not enough belief
in Richard and even if he won he'd go out to the next guy, so
would only serve as a spoiler.
Rafa should take Fognini out because it's hard to see Fog
staying consistent through an entire match against a determined
Rafa.
Kei should take out Ferrer, due to confidence, and Ferrer has
looked lackluster lately.
Going with Alexander for the upset, even though he might be
physically challenged. Wawrinka hasn't impressed me as much as
he has the world. He still has trouble maintaining consistency
during a match.
Raonic should take care of Becker for obvious reasons.
And Berdych I want to take out Isner.
