This is not going to be inspiring at all, rather just functional and there are reasons for that.
Madrid, well this is the 8th TMS event of the year and one played at a slight altitude and that isn't such a bad thing and while the population of indoor idiots love this time of year and at least the horrible servefests are virtually over and that's good.
Also good things are that the Bye is back in business and that most of the top 10 are at this event. A combination of a lack of injuries and Tiriac got some mafia hitmen to intimidate some people the players into turning up this time unlike previous years.
Tati Rascon almost qualified and somehow Youzhny didn't. Rocking Rosie with a love of Latins and shopping must be having a good time and del Potro qualified and playing the Swedish Roddick with much more personality.
Gaudio and Massu are playing and both of these guys haven't played a while and their reward is Federer in the next round, but just see what happens and it's good that they are on centre court as Safin and Acasuso will be later.
LaLo and Ginepri what a match, that will be such quality and one of the rare times I have to cheer for LaLo and that is not easy at all.

Some big results yesterday with Blake, Ljubo and the PMK losing, therefore making the battle for Shanghai interesting.
Berdych has a big chance against Roddick to do something, hopefully he can, but not likely.
Opportunity lost for Acasuso in this match with Safin, but he failed to deliver when it came to the big points. Up in the 1st tiebreaker and couldn't take advantage, it was a good match from him, but not good enough.
Well done to Safin and I loved how there were no breaks in 2 sets and it was a breakathon in the 3rd. Watch him now lose to Vliegen after defeating Acasuso and Baghdatis
