I'm kind of embarased of myself:o...took them live when they were up 4-1 in the 2nd set at @ 1.85 and now odds are 4 :mad: :rolleyes:

Looks like Gil is the lucky one here, with Daniel taking him apart:)

Is there any chance that today there are going to continue play?

I can't believe Cipolla keeps winning in doubles.

Cipolla has improved a fair amount lately.

Flavio has very good volleys and is a very strong tactical player :shrug: The problem is the serve, and he has worked on that a lot in the off-season.

There's still a rain delay :rain:

An Italian poster who plays TT and lives near Napoli said the weather is very bad, so it looks very possible that play will be postponed until tomorrow.

Hello here from Naples ( Napoli Challenger ) with all the players closed into the plauyer zone waiting to the annunciation of the supervisor to come back to the hotels.
It is still raining a lot, and no little piece of blue in the sky : only clouds.
If you want to spend a little time, I leave you some foto gallery from the evening parties here in Napoli.
Yesterday Nights at Blonde Cafè.
