The first big upset of the US Open. Tomas lost in straights to Llodra.

I still cannot believe Berdych is out of the USO. He had such amazing runs at RG and Wimbledon that I guess
I was expecting the same to happen now. I don’t know what happened there, if it were the high expectations,
an injury or Llodra’s serve. Maybe a combination of everything.

Honestly, there’s not much to say. It was only the second time this season that Tomas has lost in the opening round at a tour-level event. Llodra saved all three break points he faced and was able to convert two of the eight chances created. He served and volleyed like a mad man. Insane stuff. Berdych really didn’t get the chance to play his game.

Also, let me just say Michael Llodra is an idiot. I’ll explain. Apparently he got really pissed that Isner didn’t withdraw from USO because that would have given him a seeded place in the draw. Seriously. What a nice opportunity he lost to keep his mouth shut.

And in other news, this totally opens the draw for Muzz. Seriously, if he doesn’t reach SF now, there’s no hope for him (No pressure!). So, get yourself together, dude. Just do your thing.
