Follow all the action involving Nadal, Hewitt, Murray, Simon and Verdasco in the men’s, Safina, Ivanovic, Sharapova and Venus Williams in the women’s.12.01 pm: Verdasco breaks early in the second, Ana is trying to break Iveta, and Aravane has broken Michelle to lead 6-5. John Dolan of the WTA is down there courtside as well – no doubt to try to avert any incidents between the two young ladies.
11.56 am: Aravane’s having another word about the noises that Larcher de Brit is emitting. The grunt-age seems to be less long now, but it’s no less remarkable. Nothing between the two players otherwise – 5-5, 30-30 on the Portu-geezer’s serve.
11.54 am: ML de B saves a break point, Aravane pings her racquet and the Portuguese prodigy holds. These two won’t send each other any Christmas cards, or “go on holiday together”, as the French say, i.e. there’s no love lost. Ana meanwhile has held to make it 3-2. Benesova is giving a far better account of herself in this second stanza. David mentioned earlier that she was interestingly attired. It’s a black strappy showing a lot of flesh-y number. The weather’s reasonably warm so she’s not going to catch cold.
Verdasco has taken the opener 6-2 on the back of a second break. He seems to face Nadal in every tournament he plays in of late, which shows two things: rotten luck, and great skill in that he goes deep enough to meet the Raf-ster every time.
11.47 am: Verdasco has hit eight winners so far while Almagro has yet to open his account. The lefty leads 5-2 and is whipping up a sinister (in the original sense of the word) storm.........
