I hope Federer can win. IMO he deserves it.

Nadal gave Djokovic a beasting to win his 8th consecutive Monte Carlo title, that's an Open Era reord for most consecutive wins at a tournament.

Roger Federer won his match today so he's won more Grand Slam matches than anyone.

Off the top of my head, Sampras was no.1 for 287 weeks and Federer was no.1 for 286 weeks. Federer would have the record but he lost early at Indian Wells and Miami after having MPs in 2010 and he also lost early in Rome. If he'd won those matches, he'd have been no. 1 for a few more weeks.

Great win for Mathieu, especially after having the MPs saved but he kept going and won it.

What is is with Isner and marathon matches against Frenchmen?


Nadal thrashed Istomin and Murray came back against Niemenen but it looks like it could be a pyrrhic victory given how bad his back is.

That was a great match between Djokovic and Tsonga, Tsonga did so well to get back into it after Djokovic won the first set easily and he really should have won. That's one of these defeats that's absolutely crushing but on 3 of the 4 MPs Djokovic played a great point and didn't give Tsonga a chance, but Tsonga had a good chance on the third MP but put it in the net. Then there was a tight tiebreak but when Djokovic won it, there was a massive letdown for Tsonga and the crowd went out of it and Djokovic pushed home his advantage in the fifth. It would have been great for Tsonga to win as he played such exciting tennis but massive credit to Djokovic for his skill and nerve in adversity. It probably didn't help Tsonga that the drizzle slowed the court and the balls down and made it harder for Tsonga to hit through Djokovic.
Federer came from 2-0 down to beat Del Potro.
