will be looking out for those new moves..Against Berankis, Djokovic appeared to be trying out a few new elements in his game, including a slap (hit hard) and charge off his opponent’s second serves. He also threw in some sharply angled groundstrokes. The world No. 1 hasn’t won a title since April, so he knows he needs to improve
What's the score?This Robredo - Evans match has been brilliant.
What's the score?
Kind of expected really, still young isn't he? Although, being that young and andy Murray taking most the attention off him I would have thought he might have been less nervous. Bet our media have hounded him since his first round win ffs.Over now. Robredo won 7-6, 6-1, 4-6, 7-5. Evans was serving for the fourth but nerves got to him.
He's 23, young but not that young in tennis terms I guess. I think the hounding has come from his sudden rise to the bigger leagues. I won't claim to be an expert because this tournament was the first I heard of him but it seems after a few years of being a bit of a renegade he's actually buckled down and put some work in. With these results he's probably wishing he did earlier. Fair play to him though.Kind of expected really, still young isn't he?

Agreed though Gasquet's taken some absolute poundings by the top guys in the later rounds of slams before. Hopefully with a bit of luck Gasquet may nick the first or second set and make it reasonably entertaining.Ferrer out means it is a little bit more interesting as I'm sure we are tired of seeing him slapped around by Rafa. They haven't played each other on hard court for years but Nadal's presence and aura will just overwhelm Gasquet, but the Frenchman has done so well this tournament and you know he will at least fire a few lovely winners past Rafa whereas Ferrer would just stand on the baseline grunting and getting slapped around.
Sadly he won't and he'll be doing very well to get 10 games out of him. He'll be straight setted by a Nadal in this form, he's 0-10 against him.Agreed though Gasquet's taken some absolute poundings by the top guys in the later rounds of slams before.
