General Hercules, Roger Federer plays doubles with Marco
Chiudinelli against Seppi/Emmrich tomorrow, then singles on
Thursday along with Rafa as you mentioned...
Dr. Ivo Karlovic looked very good taking down the Colonel, #6
seed Mikhail Youzhny, last year's Halle finalist. Dr. Ivo is
set to meet Federer in the quarterfinals if they both get that
far. Karlovic is always a good indicator of where one's return
is on grass.
Robin Haase took out the 5th seed Richard Gasquet in the other
upset today.
Monfils took out Benjamin Becker to move on to face Nishikori
next.
Respectfully,
masterclass

thanks for the update general masterclass.
I think Federer is going to be quite sharp in Halle. he has had
some extra time to get the feel for the grass courts.
playing doubles has to help his cause also.
dr ivo is just amazing. he keeps going and going.

Unseeded but dangerous Philipp Kolschreiber won his match
against Herbert and will now face Rafael Nadal who opens up in
the quarterfinal.
#3 Milos Raonic was sent off the premises by wildcard and #120
in the world, Peter Gojowczyk, 6-4, 6-4. Raonic just doesn't
look good on grass. Ball gets too low for him, especially the
slice, and he doesn't have good enough footwork. Even his big
serve can't help him. Clay is better for him. He needs the
bigger bounce, which helps him get to the ball. Gojowczyk will
now meet the Columbian, Alejandro Falla who can play well on
grass.
#4 Kei Nishikori beat Gael Monfils in 3 sets, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3.
Kei played the steadier of the two. Monfils was poor and good,
more of the former.
Andreas Seppi had to withdraw in his doubles match due to a
virus early this morning. Swiss pair, Roger Federer and Marco
Chiudinelli, recipients of the walkover, decided to come on the
court anyway for practice, and "some" fans showed up to see the
living legend. :)

Thanks for this. Camelot is one stop shopping. We have the
articles, the scores, the schedule of play, now all we need are
air conditioned seats in the stadium. Life is good.

Tough match for Rafa coming out the gate. I like Kohlscheiber,
such an efficient game, and he rarely, if ever beats himself.

milos is improving but he lacks the optimal footwork on grass.

I wish him the best as always.

Yes. This is court #1, which is adjacent to one side of the
stadium court, which has the roof that can close/open in 88
seconds and be ready for play immediately thanks to the advanced
lightweight roofing material and German canopy engineered
design. It is not dependent on the stadium for support and does
not completely enclose the stadium so that the outside airflow
can still flow through the stadium without raising or lowering
temp or humidity.
In contrast, the Wimbledon roof takes about 10 minutes to close,
but players must wait 35 to 45 minutes for the air conditioning
to kick in so that the court will be playable.
The US Open still hasn't figured it out. Roland Garros still
doesn't have lights. What can you do General. Sooner or later
the Americans and the French will figure out a way, but probably
after a billion dollars have been spent and years of unnecessary
research.
Respectfully,
masterclass
