Yes Kohu, so true. I saw the draw and thought exactly the same. This is a great opportunity for Richard to go very deep in this tourney and he can take out fed along the way also.
Me too! I am very happy to see him back in action and do hope he does well in the hard courts this year.
Thanks Puschkin for all the info and pics. I did see the clip of him practice and he looked quite thin or was it the clothes he was wearing.
Yes, excited to be back in action. Actually, I have been traveling quite a bit, been so busy, but did find time to do my picks and check in on Richard
and was very happy to see him ready for action.
GOOD LUCK RICHARD - take em all down

Excellent 3rd round draw thats what being seeded top 12 does 4 u. 180 points could giv him same seeding for US Open. We wont look past federer in the quarters but we all know what richard can do. |
Hope Richard starts a lot better against Mayer than in their last meeting cuz he doesn't have 5 sets to get going...
Assuming Richard plays to his level I'd say about as good a draw as possible in a 1000. And of the top 4, Federer is the best to get ( never imagined I'd be glad Richard drew Federer!!). I would absolutely LOVE to see him take out Almagro, but he has some work to do before that, Mayer and Belluci can be tough even on a hard court.
Allez Richie - been waiting to see him back in action. |

That was a good start after this long break. Mayer was less strong than in Stuttgart and Richard more solid, more FH than BH winners, aces at important moments and no camping in "Montreal" on the return. |

YEAH! would love to have seen that. Had a meeting at work scheduled at the same time Richard's match started and dragged on till after so I missed the whole match but glad to hear he looked solid and didn't have any trouble with Mayer.
Hopefully I will be able to see him win at least 3 more matches at Montreal! Allez Richie! |

Richard played well, you kind of got the impression he was playin in second gear and whenever he had mishaps he resolved them and showed his improved mental strength. I was espescially pleased with his volleying and improved confdence in himself. I am not too worried about Belluci as he will not control points with topspin against richard and unless he attacks and flattens it out a bit he has little chance on this court. |

You should show Almagro more respect. He is a good player and won relativley comfortably against a tricky player in Stakhovsky. He is agressive and isnt as bad on a hard court as people make out. He gets his points at lower tier events which annoys me but he is clearly very good. His antics on court can get to richard (maye more so a year ago) and he seems to be serving well and his stats appear on a par with richards. I would say 50:50. |

I would however give a slightly higher chance to richie for two reasons. First, richard plays better than last year when he was defeated in a very close game against Almagro. Secondly, this is on hard court and statistics for Almagro are not as good as on clay (while for richie, this is roughly the same). So, 55/45 for me. |
