2012 starts on the wrong side for Gilles. So this is take 2, let's start over again. Not to expect him to suddenly be good, but we'll do all we can (and pretty much all we can do is to open new thread for each tournament if that helps ) to hope that he'll get better soon.
Next stop is Indian Wells, starts on March 8th, but he has bye, so probably won't start for him til the 10th at the earliest. HC is of course more of his element, so here's hoping that he'll do better, beat a Top 50 and get that monkey off the back. Allez Gilles.

BTW, Murray is R4, not QF. This is his quarter looks like:
(4)Andy Murray (GBR) vs Bye
Guillermo Garcia Lopez (ESP) vs Rui Machado (POR)
Flavio Cipolla (ITA) vs Ryan Harrison (USA)
Bye vs (25)Viktor Troicki (SRB)
(23)Stanislas Wawrinka (SUI) vs Bye
Qualifier vs (WC)Robby Ginepri (USA)
Qualifier vs Dudi Sela (ISR)
Bye vs (13)Gilles Simon (FRA)
(11)John Isner (USA) vs Bye
Qualifier vs Qualifier
Qualifier vs Nicolas Mahut (FRA)
Bye vs (22)Juan Monaco (ARG)
(32)Julien Benneteau (FRA) vs bye
Qualifier vs Igor Kunitsyn (RUS)
Andreas Seppi (ITA) vs Olivier Rochus (BEL)
Bye vs (8)Mardy Fish (USA)
that game at 1-3* down 3rd set was huge, 5 bp's saved by sela, 2 gp's for him as well and gilles took it and it turned the match.
will need to be better next match though
