This Monte Carlo is amazing. I swear, every single seed is just spewing bad tennis. Let's have a quick run through the top 12 seeds:
1. Djokovic is currently being beaten by Youzhny.
2. Okay Murray hasn't played yet.
3. Nadal got broken by Matosevic. Matosevic. And the only reason Matosevic didn't go up a double-break is because Matosevic choked furiously.
4. Berdych was down in both sets and Granollers served for the first. Berdych didn't get back through good play, either, Granollers just went on a determined march of the mugs.
5. Del Potro was taken by 3 to Dolgopolov who was a break up in the 3rd and then decided to miss every single shot he could to let Delpo back into the match, despite how badly Delpo was playing.
6. Tsonga was pretty good against Davydenko, actually, it was a nice match. Exception here.
7. Gasquet was pretty poor against Paire. Paire might have won if it wasn't for the fact Paire is insane. Like, bordering Monfils level of insane.
8. Tipsarevic is out already. lulz
9. The Cilic - Zeballos match was actually really good, and Cilic was tight against Anderson. Another exception, I guess.
10. Almagro was dire against Goffin for the whole first set and their third set was just shared horrificness that Almagro won by virtue of being less bad.
11. Simon is out already. lulz
12. Raonic is out already. lulz
So, out of the 12, 2 have played well, 1 hasn't played yet, and the other 9 have either been losing or trying as hard as they can to lose in the face of stern resistance.
I mean seriously, what's going on? Is it scheduling issues?
