gotta love Georges at +350...

I had to laugh at how she stomped Bammer last time after all those terrible outings. I don't know...one match isn't enough to persuade me. I like her +5 better than straight up. But it's certainly a nice return for a good player.

day of upsets. i had a feeling almagro might lose, but i thought soderling would pull through even if he got down at some point. i think the dry air out there is helping produce some of these odd results.

Sod was definitely hurt or sick, barely moving.
