Not touching the Sock Lopez match, so looking forward to Istomin.
Hes been in great form lately, thrashing a not too shabby hewitt as well as isner
The 34 yr old Russell is also beating some half decent players, but I think Istomin will be too good for him and will beat him in 2 sets
Any thoughts?

russell played pretty good after they gave him 'lucky loser' title
istomug should win this. also was thinking about 2 sets market

Istomin should have too much talent for old man Russell.
Russel can take him, why not? What, Istomin suddenly morphed into Djokovic? 
I am waiting for y'all to press 2-0 down so I can lay 
gogogoogo 1.6

Russel will, make him run for his money!
And maybe more??!

Istomin has always been a good player. But he had a horrific run of matches in which he was always drawn to play the top players for a while.
i guess it's just a matter of time when he break old fella
Opposing Michael Russell has rarely ended well for me. His performances on clay in Houston last year (taking a set off an extremely in-form Monaco on clay ffs 
) were particularly horrendous for me.
Hopefully he rolls over this time.

Oh, and taking a terrible position on Roddick against him in USO 2011 and then trading out for a big panicky red as Russell went into god mode for a while
i got stung by this russlle a few times when i back kevin anderson and samuel groth against him
This must have been fun:
35/2012 ATP U.S. Open (USA) Hard Gilles Simon Michael Russell 7-6(4) 3-6 5-7 6-4 6-1
35/2012 ATP U.S. Open (USA) Hard Gilles Simon Michael Russell 7-6(4) 3-6 5-7 6-4 6-1
Well this was great from Istomin, but look how freaking hard he needs to work.

Apparently not 
Ofc Russel is capable of throwing in a putrid service game.
Here's the difference:
Russel might be old, but he is not a mug.

Right on cue.
Being the best isn't easy, but someone has to do it.
Next, 1st set TB.
Your self-congratulation is becoming obnoxious now.
Saying that any tennis player is 'capable' of throwing in a bad service game is like saying that trees are capable of dropping their leaves.
Calling a first set TB at 4-4 isn't particularly brave, either.

Here is another: Istomin now wins 2-0.
(This one could well be wrong if Istomin relaxes. Russel won't give up.)

Looked out to me too :) another wrong by yours truly.
Alright, who said this guy was not a mug. Broken three times in a row, including multiple times with a DF. Utter mug.
Fortunately for him there's one over the other side of the net, too.
1.12? Market expect Russell to get broken again. Maybe not unreasonable.
Russell serving to stay in the match. If this really is WTA, we know what happens here.
Russell doing a Sock and playing infinitely worse when he is at advantage than at deuce.
nice reading
