6:41 pm
football and half watching what this game will turn into. what do you make of the budget that performing so far? i have to say, it's not the eight time champion winning performances we have seen in the past. it's an uphill struggle. from the word go. he faced break points in the very first game and he has not looked smooth, he looked at each of the types and edgy i would say. he's not smooth on the ground but he does possess such wonderful silky hand skills and he's getting around and match with that ability you could use a lot of slices and drop shots and you hanging in there that he's up against a very talented smooth stryker is very tricky and it's been a very awkward match and you almost feel like you're watching it behind the pillar because he's not playing his best tennis but he is hanging in there and i know with what you just talk about the injury but it up like the match was heading towards a fifth set a dramatic

6:43 pm
lesser version of a roger federer. modulus practising on him. he has got that single—handed backhand and the site and five foot nine and he had a really effective serve. he was a very popular winner today and as you said he has had such a great year and remember, you said he has had such a great yearand remember, he be you said he has had such a great year and remember, he be the world number one this year on the clay court in monte carlo. and of course play is different to grass but he's game is much better suited to the class. i think he could have a deep run at wimbledon. he is five all at the moment moore is happening. mannarino is back up the match against carla suarez was a
