At the Japan Open:
Gasquet def Petzschner 6-3 6-2 Gasquet doing a good job of rebounding. Easier win than I expected.
Youzhny def Belluchi, Beck def Schuettler (Barely), Monaco def Garcia-Lopez (ret)
These were all kinda routine though Youzhny could maybe contend vs. Simon, but I have Simon winning with a ? on my bracket.
Gulbis def Stepankek 6-4 6-4 The long awaited revival of the young Latvian may have finally happened as he took out Stepanek. Tsonga is next and they had a nailbiting 6-7 7-6 7-6 Tsonga victory last meeting, so Gulbis could be in contention. Doubt he could handle Monfils next round, but might could if it's Wawrinka instead.
My semifinalists (Hewitt, Berdych, Monfils, and Tsonga) all still alive though Tsonga playing now
Meanwhile in China...
Cilic def. Bennetau 6-2 2-6 6-0 Not entirely sure what happened in 3rd set... Bennetau needs to work on his consistency a little, doesn't he?
Davydenko def Kohlschrieber 6-1 6-0 Davydenko....oh my god.... I thought this would be close! Cilic is a tough match-up for him though, and Davy's lost two in a row to the Croat. He just needs to keep up this kind of form though! Cilic has definitely not played as well as Davydenko lately.
These are the only finished matches at this time. Looking foward to Verdasco vs Ferrero. Verdasco my 3rd fave Top 10 player, but Ferrero is one of my overall favorites and I think he could be capable of a challenge here.
