I like Nielsen and, thanks to Caroline, he's going to get a lot of attention worldwide this week. If he can parlay his excellent play today into qualifying for the Australian Open (at 28 years old, has never made a main draw) or getting on a run in the Challenger level to up the ranking, this week would be a true success for him.

Mardy, on the other hand, looks like 2011 was just a memory. Played very passively in the singles and should have lost; Nielsen served for the match in the second set.
