A very 'blegh' sort of day for day one in Rome. When in Rome... there are a lots of breaks of serve, and less aces. A lot of three settors and overs. At least compared to the clay of Madrid from last week. I discuss an interesting 'I will tank on purpose in order to avoid play X next round' angle. I need to come up a better name for it. I also complain about losing from a set up, but never being able to muster a comeback from a set down. Tennis betting is the best!
