Milos on cruise control.

Nadal-Monfils with a long opening game. Nadal breaks on a Monfils double fault.

My body isn't ready.

Unfortunately I think War and Raonic frick it all up for us.

I think that Rafa gets there, but I agree that Stan will probably muck things up for us.

I suspect Milos will be the betting favorite over Nadal.

Watched the second and most of the third set.

I never take much away from any reasonable player playing Monfils. That guy is a nightmare.

With no real shot of ever winning a title.

I feel about Monfils the way I feel about Oklahoma football. Cute program that has done a good job remaining consistently competitive but any time you get to the championship stakes, just go home and let the big boys play. You're not a real threat.

I was really beginning to love the guy when he played well last year, but the match against Djokovic at the U.S. Open was one of the biggest disgraces I have ever seen on a tennis court -- and this is coming from a guy who doesn't care that much about sanctity of the sport and usually welcomes idiotic behavior out there.

I'm going Fed vs. Raonic, but nothing would surprise me except Zverev at this point.

Nadal is about -150, which makes my decision easy.

Nice. Hope this next match is a beatdown either way so I can get a bit of Tsonga/Stan before hitting the sack.

Fed Nadal would be boring to me. Not that it wouldn't be sentimental or decent tennis. It just imo be a baseline match and that's why I'd like to see Raonic.

The way Fed and Nadal are favored in these matches makes it seem like it's 2009.

Nadal is the oddmakers' favorite against Raonic.

No she's way different

She's got that assassin attitude that Harding had but she's not some poor kid

She fights people like she was a penniless player. I think that's why I like watching her.
