I'm shocked too Gael! And very pleased at the same time.

It's a new day and I'm refocused after Friday's debacle. There is some light at the tournament and a lot of shouting factor remains.

Frenchman Gael Monfils and American Robby Ginepri are two of my favorites on the tour. They have hung in there, gotten the job done and I shall begin supporting and celebrating accordingly. Yesterday is gone.

Both gentlemen are into the fourth round and that is definitely something to shout about. So YAAAAAAY!!!

Robby Ginepri defeated Frenchman Florent Serra 6-4, 6-4, 6-4; Gael Monfils defeated Austrian Jurgen Melzer 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 6-0, 6-2.

Work it out guys, work it out!
