This started yesterday, no major shocks yet in the men's draw as Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic got safely through today. Andy Murray plays his first round tomorrow against Andrey Kuznetsov. He's coming into the tournament in dreadful form so it's quite difficult to say how he'll perform over the next couple of weeks. He's certainly not the tournament favourite but hopefully he'll start well tomorrow.

I fancy Dominic Thiem to have a good run. I've noticed he has in his section though.
Am I right in thinking Murray can meet Del Potro fairly earlier - will be dangerous.

Andy looked a bit heavy-legged today before blowing away his skinny opponent.

Murray's possible path to the title would be;
1st round - Andrey Kuznetsov - won
2nd round - Martin Klizan
3rd round - Juan Martin Del Potro
Last 16 - Tomas Berdych
Quarter Finals - Kei Nishikori
Semi Finals - Stan Wawrinka
Final - Novak Djokovic
I wasn't actually aware of his likely meeting with Del Potro in the third round. He'll really need to improve on his recent performances to win that one, that could be a very difficult match for him. Although this is actually Del Potro's first appearance at Roland Garros since 2012. It's certainly not going to be easy for him to get through those matches. I personally think he'll go no further than the quarter finals at best this year. Hopefully I'm wrong.

We are 2nd row from the front in the best shaded section next to Larry Ellison after a spectacular lottery pick but it costs almost as much as my LA Chargers seats.
I would get Wimbledon seats if I was close enough!

The French crowd really don't like Murray. They're always cheering for his opponent.

Murray Broken as he's serving for the 2nd set, French crowd firmly backing Del Porto.

French Crowd totally deflated note as Andy starts to rip Del Potro apart
5-0 up in the third and serving for the match.

Outstanding from Murray today. Real show of intent. Especially winning that first set. Think that decided the match as it took so much out of Del Potro. Really looking forward to the second week. Nadal looks unstoppable though unfortunately.

Won in 3 again today hopefully finding a bit of form that cam see him through the summer after a woeful winter/spring by his standards. Looks like the injuries are behind him.

The strength of opposition really increases from now though. He plays Kei Nishikori tomorrow in the quarter finals. If he wins that then he'll probably face Stan Wawrinka in the semis and then either Nadal or Djokovic in the final.
Personally think he'll struggle getting into the final but hopefully he can get through tomorrow and take it from there.

Murray takes a great first set on the tie break, Stan looking a bit dodgy at start of set 2, time for Murray to go for the jugular.

Third set has been a cracker so far, looked like Murray was well out of it at one point, but fought back, and now serves for the set.
