Open Sud de France, Montpellier, France

Just watched a terrific match last night on TennisTV between the irrepressible Dustin Brown and Giles Simon. Dustin of the Jamaican Dreadlocks...

Giles Simon gave Djokovic a scare at the Australian Open. Yesterday though, Dustin Brown, who had to qualify, played the heck of an entertaining match beating Simon in straight sets. Simon was totally outplayed by Dustin.

Dustin served bullets, with his quick windup action and low toss, hit very hard baseline shots, and varied with amazing drop shots and volley attacks. When he is on, he is very good. He will be playing again tonight and I will be rooting for him.

Watched the match as well. Brown is entertaining...and streaky. Lacks the consistency. But his attacking game is nice to see. Simon had no answers. You cannot be passive vs. Simon or he will eat you alive.
