No idea what PHM was doing out there :(

Congrats Fish :yeah: First time in the 3rd round in 9th (!) attempt at US Open.

Mathieu must have played like an absolute mug today to lose to Fish.

Fish v. Blake should be all kinds of crap. I can't wait. At least one of them will be going home. Hopefully Fish.

Fishmeister displayed his full array of shots and all court mastery, staying back sometimes but sometimes going to net.

GL against James, Fish-O.

Expected result the mug fish def the mug choker.

Easy match for Blake.

PHM brainless as ever

Fishmeister, the all court master

The sexy forehand is back.

I dunno if he's ever played a match with that many aces and no double faults :lol:

please beat James, Mardy :o

fishmeister... yea

this is sad. i saw the ending and mathieu did play like crap. moonballing all over the place.


the worst part in all this is that fish could actually beat blake now.

Good win for Fish!! But if James will reach his normal level, he'll beat Mardy!!

Nothing can surprise me when it comes to PHM. Btw if Blake plays like he played in the first set against Darcis, Fish is not going to get grilled and served with some vegetables, it will be other way around.

yes pescado... take out Blake now

I saw only the first set. this court is too fast for phm but still, that was a woeful display. :shout:

:baby: :baby: :baby:

The expression in my current avatar pretty much sums this result up :o PHM was doomed anyway the moment I decided to use his pic here - even though he traditionally doesn't do well at the USO and I didn't expect this year to be any different, this should have been a winnable match (or at least more competitive)...
