Now we have had the first rounds, it will be time to get the calculators out, take shoes and socks off to work out all the possible permutations as the two winners and the two losers of the first two matches (still with me?) get to grips in round two.
It all started so relaxed with British No. 1 and home-crowd hero Andy Murray looking relaxed and posing for photographs with waiting fans at the quay where the players arrive by boat. There were rousing cheers, there was an early break – oh it was all going so well.
Well with a day one result (and indeed a shirt) that was as grey as the conditions on a gloomy Sunday, the crowds will return to the giant umbrella once more to see World No. 1 and new daddy Novak Djokovic against the wonderfully unassuming Marin Cilic.
It’s raining, it’s pouring – isn’t that how the nursery rhyme goes. Oh we are sure there is some historical significance to the lines, but really what it all comes down to is this.

For days the focus has been on the big names of the women’s draw dropping
On a sunny day in Eastbourne the defending WTA champion joined the seed carnage of the early rounds as she bowed out to USA power-hitter Madison Keys.

As if the natural obstacles provided by New York City weren't enough for us to deal with, just getting around the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center has been proving to be a difficult task
Get well soon Mardy Fish. Sounds like Cedars was a busy place on Wednesday. Mardy was there. Elton John was there. I was there.
Yup. I'm on my way. Passed airport security. And I'm waiting at the gate. I'm super excited . It's been a few years since I've been. Sounds like most of my "group" is already in Paris.
Vittorio get the guest room ready. I'm packing. Writing and watching semis from Madrid. The slippery blue blur now looks weirder and weirder. Roger Federer is looking great.
