As for the matches, after a day of semi-upsets, some good quarters are still on tap for Friday highlighted by Djokovic v. Gilles Simon. I think Djokovic will win but it could very easily go the distance. Simon desperately needs this win if he’s to make ground in the race to London. The v... |

Recent fan comments for Gilles Simon:

Jen Says:
Gilles' knee injury forced him to retire from his R3 in USO. Doctor's order
to rest for 3 weeks so he's off the DC team. He will be back for Asian
season. Tons of points to defend the next 2 mths. Even though I do not
think he can defend them because the knee continue to be a problem, it is
not going to heal without a long duration of rest (couple of months), that
will make it hard for him to get deep into tournaments. Nevertheless, rest
well and come back strong. Allez Gilles.
