Let’s hope we will always have Rome! I am hoping Roger Federer will have Rome, a title he has never won. He has a new look, very short hair for Fed. Anyhow, Roger will not be back in action until tomorrow. Today, Nadal advanced with ease over F. Fognini, 6 – 1, 6 -3. The King of Clay looks to be in fine form. The same cannot be said of Andy Murray. Andy lost the first set to M. Granollers of Spain, 6 -3 and then appeared to be on track with the second set in a tie break, 7 -6, only to retire with a back injury. Not a good day for the birthday boy, Andy Murray. (As a Fed fan, I hope this tournament will put Federer back to #2 in the world heading into Roland Garros). Also out, Tsonga in three sets to Janowicz of Poland. Wawrinka went out in three sets, retiring in the third set. Hate to see that for Stan after his tremendous showing in Madrid which moved him to #10 in the world. But, he has played a lot of tennis as of late, and perhaps it has caught up with him and he needs a rest before the French Open. David Ferrer prevailed over Spain’s Verdasco in three tough sets.
Tomorrow, both Djokovic and Federer in action!
