Leyton’s Last Ride
A four time champion here had Kevin Anderson on the ropes. With the match on his strings, the Aussie faltered and opened the door. The big boomer found his tempo and blew Hewitt of the court the rest of the way. While not very impressive for Anderson, it was enjoyable seeing the 34 year old give it another go. Among the other three set oddities in the opening round is the defending champion Grigor Dimitrov. He has struggled this year and let lowly ranked American Sam Querrey get the first set off of him. It was a set apiece when play was suspended for the day.
Crystal Ball
If Grigor suvrives he has a potential matchup with Andy Murray in the quarters. Stan could get Nadal in another round of eight match but he has to prevail in a tight first round matchup. He gets the young Krygios from Australia. His game is well suited for this surface. So much so that WaWa is only a favorite in the neighborhood of -165 or so. A very tight opening round for such a high rated seed to have to go through.
