Wednesday's Aces

Nadal, Federer, Nalbandian, Davydenko, Andy Murray, Philipp Kohlschreiber, Gilles Simon and James Blake all posted wins today in Paris.

With his win today over Igor Andreev, Gilles Simon now has one foot in the door of next week’s Masters Cup in Shanghai, while Wawrinka and Ferrer’s losses put them out of the running. Blake and Tsonga need to reach the final here if they are to overtake Simon.

All Bets are Off!



























Nikolay Davydenko was cleared by the ATP of all wrongdoing on charges related to suspicious betting patterns related to a match he was accused of throwing over a year ago.

C'mon, it took this long to figure this crap out. The OJ trial took less time and there was no black glove. I'm just sayin.

I've got $100 on Daveydenko's next match!

Battle of the 5 Setters




















Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic both struggled today in 5 set matches against Igor Andreev and Tommy Robredo. Federer was royally pissed off but showed lots of fight in the 5th. He needs to keep it up if he wants to win another slam.

Up next for Federer is the talented Gilles Muller who defeated Nikolay Davydenko in 4 sets.
